Energy, now at the heart of strategic decisions
Turn your electricity needs into a competitive advantage with our battery energy storage solutions coupled with an intelligent Energy Management System (EMS). In Belgium, France and Luxembourg, EDP supports you in optimizing photovoltaic self-consumption, drastically reducing your electricity costs and improving your energy autonomy.
Our latest-generation lithium batteries store solar electricity produced during the day and release it during periods of high consumption or tariff peaks. With the optional integration of intelligent charging stations, you can also power your electric vehicle fleet with 100% clean and cost-effective energy.
Key advantages of energy storage
- Optimized self-consumption: Increase self-consumption from 30–40% (without battery) to 70–90% (with battery + EMS)
- Cost savings: reduce electricity costs by 50–70% by avoiding grid purchases during peak hours
- Energy independence
- AI-driven intelligent control: EMS optimizes charging and discharging based on solar production, consumption, tariffs and weather forecasts

FAQ
AI analyzes consumption, production and energy price data in real time. It anticipates needs, automatically optimizes battery charge/discharge cycles and takes the best decisions to reduce energy costs and maximize self-consumption, without any user intervention.
Batteries used in industrial BESS systems have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and management strategies. The EMS plays a crucial role by optimizing charge/discharge cycles to extend battery life.
Factors influencing longevity:
- Depth of Discharge (DoD): intelligent EMS limits deep discharges
- Operating temperature: systems include thermal management
- Number of cycles: strategic optimization avoids unnecessary cycling
- Component quality: selection of top-tier equipment
End-of-life management:
- Second-life possibilities: reuse in less demanding applications
- Recycling: batteries are recycled according to European standards
- We support our customers in the responsible management of the entire life cycle.
Manufacturers typically offer 10-year warranties with a guaranteed residual capacity of 70–80%.
A system combining EMS and battery storage reduces energy costs through:
- Peak shaving: battery discharge during consumption peaks to reduce capacity charges
- Market arbitrage: prioritizing grid electricity consumption when prices are low and resale when prices are high
- Self-consumption maximization: storing excess solar production to avoid costly grid purchases
- Real-time optimization: continuous analysis of market prices, consumption needs and local production
ROI depends on several site-specific factors:
Factors that influence ROI:
- Consumption profile and power peaks
- Existing solar installations
- Capacity tariffs applied by your supplier
- Local market price volatility
- Access to balancing markets
Sources of savings and revenues:
- Reduction of capacity charges (peak shaving)
- Electricity purchase savings (arbitrage)
- Revenues from grid flexibility services
- Reduced exposure to price volatility
To obtain a precise ROI estimate, we carry out a 360° analysis of your site, including energy contracts, consumption history and technical constraints.
No, charging stations are not mandatory. EMS and BESS systems can operate independently to optimize energy consumption and storage. However, adding charging stations maximizes asset value by offering additional services and optimizing peak load management.
Perfect. Our EMS and BESS solutions integrate seamlessly with existing photovoltaic installations, optimizing solar energy use by storing surplus production and releasing it at the most opportune times to maximize self-consumption and profitability.
