Quoted from Straits Times “More businesses will reap savings and earn rewards by lowering their energy usage during peak periods under an expanded programme by the Energy Market Authority (EMA).
For example, businesses that own battery energy storage systems (ESS) of a certain capacity can reduce the electricity they draw from the grid during peak periods by relying on their in-house batteries to run operations.
While a direct benefit of this programme is lower electricity costs and financial incentives for participating businesses, adjusting electricity demand in response to peaks will relieve stress on the grid during high-demand periods and unplanned outages.”
