**Project Background:**
Located in the Crown Mines commercial building, Dumi, a property owner, faced significant challenges due to frequent power outages. These outages disrupted business operations, leading many shops to close and causing Dumi substantial financial losses from vacant rental spaces. Compounding this issue, rising electricity costs added further pressure on business stability and economic efficiency.
Decisively opting for a solution, Dumi chose AlphaESS's energy storage system. The 125kW/260kWh system successfully reduced their peak demand charge bracket from 250kVA down to 105kVA. This not only ensured business continuity but also generated monthly savings of nearly 80,000 South African Rand on peak capacity charges.
Furthermore, Dumi highly commended AlphaESS's rapid response and high-quality after-sales maintenance service. This positive experience reinforced his wise choice, and he has expressed his intention to recommend AlphaESS to other property owners, colleagues, friends, and family in the future.
Solution:
1MW/2.3MWh Energy Storage Container, AC-coupled system.
Application Results:
* Peak shaving, reducing demand management fees by 80,000 ZAR per month.
* Ensures the normal operation of the commercial building, securing stable rental income.
* Provides reliable and stable power security for the property owner's business operations and daily life.
