1 MWh battery container: large-scale energy storage for businesses

A 1 MWh battery container makes it possible to store large amounts of electricity for use at a later time. For businesses facing high energy demand, peak loads, or grid congestion, energy storage can play a key role.

In practice, this means, among other things:

  • Storage of large amounts of energy

  • Greater control over energy consumption

  • More efficient use of renewable energy

  • Less reliance on grid capacity

1 MWh battery container

For projects requiring a significant amount of power, a 1 MWh battery container can be a logical choice. These systems are often used at industrial sites, energy projects, or businesses where energy demand can fluctuate significantly.

One advantage of a container-based solution is that the system is relatively easy to install and integrate into existing systems.

Discover the Container

The benefits of this:

  • High storage capacity within a single system

  • Suitable for heavy-duty applications

  • Seamless integration with existing energy infrastructure

 

Typical applications:

  • Industrial sites

  • solar energy projects

  • companies with high peak loads

Scalable battery storage

Many energy projects grow over time. That is why battery containers are often designed to be modular. When more storage capacity is needed, the system can be expanded with additional containers.

Advantages of this:

  • Flexible scaling of storage capacity

  • Adaptable to changing energy demand

  • Suitable for long-term energy projects

LARGE-SCALE ENERGY STORAGE AT A SINGLE SITE

BETTER BALANCE BETWEEN GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION

SUPPORT FOR NETWORK CONGESTION

FLEXIBLE USE

RELIABLE ENERGY SUPPLY

How does a 1 MWh battery container work?

A battery container stores electricity in a series of battery modules that together form a single energy system. When energy is available—for example, from solar panels or the power grid—it is stored.

When more energy is needed, the system can release the stored electricity. An energy management system automatically controls the charging and discharging of the battery.

This allows energy to be used flexibly whenever it is needed.

Benefits of a 1 MWh battery

MORE CONTROL OVER ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Energy storage allows companies to better determine when energy is used or stored.

This can lead to, among other things:

  • more efficient energy use
  • less dependence on peak prices

 

REDUCTION OF PEAK LOAD

Many companies incur additional costs when their energy consumption peaks. By temporarily storing energy, a battery container can help reduce these peaks.

This can lead to:

  • lower energy costs
  • less strain on the power grid

BETTER UTILIZATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

Better utilization of renewable energy

When energy is generated locally, it can be stored in a battery until it is needed.

Advantages of this:

  • less energy waste
  • higher efficiency from renewable energy systems

SCALABLE ENERGY SOLUTION

Scalable energy solution

As energy demand grows, storage capacity can be expanded.

This means:

  • flexibility for future growth
  • suitable for long-term energy projects

SOLAR OPTIMIZATION AT AN AGRICULTURAL SOLAR PARK

Overijssel
With the BOLT-20 and forecasting software, an agricultural solar farm no longer feeds electricity back into the grid at low rates, but instead stores it and sells it at the best possible time.

Results

  • Energy stored and managed locally
  • Earning on the EPEX and imbalance markets

Jumbo Mieremet launches 400 kW fast charger with battery storage

Jumbo Mieremet in The Hague became the first supermarket in the region to install a 400 kW DC fast-charging station with 430 kWh of battery storage. Thanks to the smart use of storage, two cars can charge simultaneously without placing an additional load on the power grid.

Results

  • Fast charging without overloading the grid
  • Charging two cars at the same time

We love to share success stories

Farmer Dairy farmer

"Our solar panels are really paying off now! With Boltainer batteries and BBT software, we use our own electricity whenever it suits us and save a lot on feed-in tariffs."

Fleet & Equipment Manager Construction company

"We need far fewer diesel generators on the construction site. Combined with battery storage, we now always have a reliable and sustainable power supply, no matter where we're working."

Facilities Manager Industrial sector

"Thanks to Boltainer, we've reduced our energy costs by over 30% and are no longer subject to grid restrictions. Our production is running more efficiently than ever!"

PEACE OF MIND THANKS TO RECOGNIZED CERTIFICATIONS
