Industrial Park

Shared energy infrastructure for industrial parks – one battery, many services, shared value creation.

Industrial parks need smarter energy solutions

Industrial parks bring together many businesses with different energy needs in one location. Some produce energy, others consume a lot, and everyone pays for their own grid capacity. With a shared battery system and intelligent control, the entire park can share infrastructure and create value together.

The Challenge

Each business in an industrial park buys electricity and grid capacity separately. Power peaks from charging, production and operations drive up costs. Solar panels produce when nobody uses the power, and surplus is exported cheaply to the grid instead of being used locally.

Our Solution

A community battery with Playmaker control connects all actors. Solar energy is stored and shared locally, power peaks are cut automatically, the battery earns money in reserve markets when idle, and EV charging is supplied without grid upgrades. Everyone shares the investment and revenue.

One battery, many services

For an energy system to make economic sense, the battery must deliver multiple services depending on timing, demand and market prices. This requires intelligent control.

Key insight: Without intelligent control coordinating these services in real-time, a battery is just an expensive buffer. With Playmaker it becomes a value-creating asset for the entire industrial park.

From traditional grid to intelligent network

Energy communities move from a simple grid-to-building model to a network where multiple actors collaborate, trade services internally, and sell surplus externally.

Result: All three get lower costs than building separately. Surplus not used internally is sold to the grid or in reserve markets. No one needs to invest in everything – they specialize and share the value.

Peak Shaving

Cut Power Peaks and Unlock More Capacity

With Playmaker we identify your power peaks in real time and automatically shave them with the battery. The result is lower grid fees — and the ability to do more with the grid connection you already have.

The Problem

Grid fees are largely determined by your highest power peaks. A short spike — for example when several machines start simultaneously or an EV charger kicks in — can drive up costs for the entire month. And when you want to upgrade the office, add EV chargers or expand production, the answer is often: insufficient grid capacity.

The Playmaker Solution

Playmaker continuously monitors power consumption and controls the battery to deliver additional power when peaks occur. The battery charges during low-consumption periods and relieves the grid when needed most. No peaks hit the grid meter — and you only pay for the capacity you actually need.

What It Means in Practice

You can introduce EV chargers, upgrade office facilities or expand your business — without waiting for a costly grid upgrade. Peak shaving with Playmaker makes it possible to run more on existing infrastructure, while grid fee costs go down.

From assessment to operation

We help the industrial park from idea to complete energy community with shared battery and intelligent control.

1
📋

Park assessment

We analyze energy needs of all actors in the park, identify producers and consumers, and size the right battery system.

2
📝

Business model and agreements

We develop a business model that distributes investment and revenue fairly between actors, and assist with applications to relevant grant programs.

3
🔧

Installation and startup

The battery system is installed and integrated with all nodes in the park. Playmaker is configured to coordinate production sharing, peak shaving, FCR and charging.

4
🛡️

Operation and optimization

Playmaker optimizes energy flow in real-time between all services. We monitor the system around the clock and ensure maximum value creation for the entire park.

Benefits for the entire industrial park

🤝

Shared investment

No single company needs to bear the full investment. Costs are distributed between actors based on needs and contributions.

📉

Lower grid fees

Peak shaving cuts power peaks for the entire park. Local production sharing reduces the need for grid imports.

💰

Multiple revenue streams

The battery earns money from FCR, production sharing and energy sales. Revenue is shared between actors in the park.

Avoid grid upgrade

The battery acts as a local buffer covering peak consumption. New chargers and production equipment can connect without costly grid expansion.

☀️

Local energy use

Solar energy and other local production is used in the park instead of being sold cheaply to the grid. More value from every kWh.

🧠

Intelligent control

Playmaker coordinates all energy services in real-time and ensures the battery is always used where value is greatest.

Reliable operation for the entire park

With a service agreement we ensure the energy community operates optimally. We monitor, maintain and optimize the system continuously.

SCADA monitoring
