Передумови
As energy prices rise and grid reliability becomes increasingly fragile, energy is emerging as a defining factor in commercial real estate. Building owners are shifting from passive energy consumers to active energy asset operators. By deploying onsite solar and акумуляторні системи зберігання енергії (BESS), commercial buildings can reduce operating expenses, improve tenant attraction, and unlock new revenue through energy trading. This project exemplifies how a modern office building embraces this transformation.
Виклик
Rising energy costs were a growing burden, but an even greater concern for property owners and tenants was declining grid reliability. Many users increasingly depend on higher electrical loads, such as expanding electrified fleets, yet existing grid capacity often cannot keep up. In such scenarios, power disruptions can cause significant operational and safety risks.

The project deployed POWEROAD’s FLEX 215 modular BESS, achieving 875kW / 3.44MWh of total storage capacity, paired with a 350 kWp rooftop PV system.
Key solution elements include:
High-density modular BESS cabinets that deliver utility-scale capacity within a compact commercial footprint.
Coordinated PV + BESS dispatching to maximize onsite solar consumption and shift energy to high-value periods.
EMS + VPP integration, enabling the supply of affordable, clean electricity to tenants and participation in energy trading and ancillary-service markets.
Support for self-consumption, peak-shaving, load shifting and frequency regulation.
Project Value
The project delivers significant economic, environmental, and strategic benefits:
