Using Gexpro Power IQ, commercial and industrial customers will be able to optimize their energy consumption and reduce their energy bills by relying on their own energy system, thereby avoiding demand charges during high peak hours. Gexpro will rely on its extensive distribution network and energy solutions expertise, widely recognized by its customers, to promote Gexpro Power IQ, a key and innovative offering amongst its sustainability and energy efficient solutions suite.

The first BESS available to the marketplace will be a 30kW, 45kWh complete turnkey solution for use in the North American behind-the-meter demand charge reduction market. Demand charges in many states can be up to 50% of the total energy bill for a commercial consumer. A typical installation will use between one and eight 30kW Battery Energy Storage Solutions in a commercial building with high peak loads such as retail, office buildings and schools.
