Restaurants incur significant peak demand charges due to predictable and intense periods of energy use during the breakfast, lunch and dinner hours. This usage pattern and its predictability creates a robust opportunity to leverage energy storage to offset that peak demand, which often accounts for as much as 50% of a restaurant's utility bill. With SimpliPhi energy storage and management solutions, restaurants can store energy when it’s least expensive and access that reserve during peak times of use, reducing demand charges.
