ABB recently announced the launch of its new Battery Energy Storage Systems-as-a-Service.
BESS-as-a-Service "is the first in a range of next generation service models being developed to remove the barriers to clean technology adoption and accelerate industries’ transition to net zero," it said.
ABB said its BESS-as-a-Service offers companies a turnkey path to energy independence and sustainability.
"Requiring no upfront capital investment, BESS-as-a-Service enables companies spanning a wide range of industries – from data centers to transport and logistics to commercial buildings – to benefit from advanced energy storage through a quarterly service fee."
The offer includes all hardware, software and lifecycle support, with ABB managing deployment, maintenance and optimization so businesses can focus on their core operations while improving energy efficiency, resilience and long-term sustainability, it noted.
Designed to be technology-agnostic, BESS-as-a-Service works with any type of battery technology, giving customers the flexibility to take advantage of the latest innovations without being tied to a single system, it said.
"BESS-as-a-Service is underpinned by performance guarantees, as well as coverage for maintenance costs and energy trading brokerage fees. By managing all aspects of energy market participation, ABB enables customers to effortlessly reap immediate financial benefits from selling excess energy."
ABB said it is currently conducting feasibility assessments with prospective customers to ensure immediate financial benefits before the deployment of BESS-as-a-Service. "This evaluation is a prerequisite for installation, ensuring that customers can achieve net financial advances from day one."
To strengthen its BESS-as-a-Service offering, ABB "has partnered with a diverse, strategic ecosystem of expert partners, bringing strength in the latest energy monitoring software, data analytics and financial modelling," it said.
