Peak shaving

Targeted reduction of load peaks

Peak shaving refers to the targeted reduction of load peaks in electricity consumption. During periods of high energy demand, grid fees are often higher, which can lead to high costs. With peak shaving, you store excess energy when demand is low and release it when demand is high. This way, you avoid the most expensive electricity prices and optimize your energy costs.
