Energy Storage Is the Lifeline Your Factory Needs

Have You Calculated the True Cost of a Power Outage?

This summer, record-breaking heat waves are sweeping across the globe. From Texas issuing another grid alert to southern Europe—Greece, Italy, France—issuing red heat warnings, electricity demand is surging, and grid pressure is mounting. Some regions are already experiencing voltage fluctuations, rolling blackouts, and unplanned outages.

For commercial and industrial users who rely heavily on uninterrupted electricity, even a short outage can result in halted production, raw material waste, equipment failure, delayed deliveries—or worse—lost revenue and reputation. In some cases, one blackout can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more.

Factories aren't afraid of the heat; they're afraid of sudden blackouts. And the one thing that can "save lives" at that moment is energy storage. 

Outages threaten your core question:
Can your critical loads stay online when the grid goes down?

Typical losses from unexpected outages include:

• Disrupted production lines, wasted materials, and delayed shipments

• Cold chain or cleanroom climate control failures, damaging sensitive goods

• System crashes & data loss during outages

• Customer trust erosion and contract penalties

According to IEA and Statista, manufacturers in Europe can lose between €20,000 to €100,000 per hour during outages. In Australia, a 30-minute outage at a mid-sized machining factory caused direct losses of over A$12,000.

Traditional Backup Power Is Becoming Obsolete

Many enterprises still rely on UPS + diesel generators as backup power. But this conventional model is increasingly showing its weaknesses:

Comparison of Backup Power Options

In Australia, diesel generators face strict restrictions in urban areas due to noise and carbon emissions. Meanwhile, in Germany and across the EU, environmental regulations are becoming stricter, making traditional gensets less viable for long-term, compliant operation.

Businesses need a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient backup power solution.

AlphaESS C&I Energy Storage: Build a Smarter, Safer, and More Reliable Energy System

As a global leader in energy storage, AlphaESS has delivered projects in 130+ countries and regions, empowering manufacturing plants, industrial parks, cold chains, and commercial buildings to reduce costs, cut carbon, and stay operational, no matter what the grid is doing.

Our commercial and industrial energy storage systems offer the following core benefits:

• Instant backup during grid outages
 Seamless switch to off-grid mode within milliseconds ensures critical loads stay powered and operations continue smoothly.

• Peak shaving and electricity bill optimization
 Store energy during low-tariff hours, discharge during peak hours—automatically and intelligently.

• Boost renewable consumption and support decarbonization
 Pair with solar to increase self-consumption and reduce reliance on the grid. Store excess solar in the day, and use it at night.

AlphaESS C&I product line covers 30kW to 30+MW, supporting applications including PV self-consumption, peak shaving, backup power, microgrids, and off-grid systems. Our solutions are highly integrated, flexible to deploy, and easy to manage remotely, allowing rapid adaptation across various industries.

They're not just an energy solution—they're your stepping stone to energy resilience and green transformation.
