A leading UK construction firm recently made a strategic shift from diesel generators to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across multiple project sites. The results?
• 2,365 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided
• 902,737 liters of diesel fuel saved
• £1,110,366 in fuel cost reductions
• Enhanced operational efficiency with reduced maintenance needs
This transition aligns with the company’s broader strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. By adopting cleaner energy solutions, they not only met sustainability goals but also realized significant financial savings.
The units, designed specifically for construction sites, offer a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient power source compared to diesel generators. Each unit is powered by grid electricity, reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions, and requires no refueling or constant maintenance. Detailed monthly reports, enabling real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making are available.
This case study exemplifies how embracing BESS technology can lead to substantial environmental and financial benefits. As the construction industry continues to evolve, integrating sustainable energy solutions like BESS is becoming increasingly essential for achieving both operational efficiency and sustainability objectives.
