Billion Electric’s proprietary MIT commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage solutions have gained traction in the global market. Since June, the company has exported nearly 22 units of its self-manufactured, Taiwan-made 100kW/215kWh C&I energy storage systems to three island nations. Image/Billion Watts provided

Enhancing Power Stability and Diverse Business Models for Industrial and Commercial Users with Energy Storage Systems

Energy storage plays a critical role in the development of renewable energy sources, offering key benefits such as frequency regulation, rapid response, and energy transfer capabilities. When applied at the generation end, energy storage can relieve feeder capacity constraints, allowing for increased photovoltaic capacity installation. At the grid level, it mitigates the intermittent nature of renewable generation, thus strengthening grid resilience. For end users, energy storage can shift off-peak power to peak demand periods, significantly reducing electricity costs. Additionally, it can address voltage drops caused by unexpected incidents, thereby minimizing process disruptions. Some stored energy can even generate revenue through Taiwan Power Company's energy trading platform.

Billion Electric (3027), through its subsidiary Billion Watts, has achieved impressive results in the energy storage market, particularly focusing on post-meter applications. The company provides both grid-connected and behind-the-meter energy storage systems, catering to the specific needs of large industrial and commercial energy users. Billion Watts delivers comprehensive and localized green energy solutions tailored for these users.

Utilizing the MIT (Made in Taiwan) in-house brand "Billion," the company offers integrated energy storage systems with flexible power and capacity configurations, including 100kW/215kWh and 500kW/1075kWh options. The energy storage equipment is designed to fit various spaces, ranging from container-based systems to outdoor liquid-cooled cabinets and indoor air-cooled cabinets. All systems have passed the IEC 62619 and UL 9540A thermal runaway propagation tests, with each battery module monitored for cell temperature and voltage, minimizing risks of overcharging and over-discharging.

Elaine Chen, Vice General Manager of Billion Watts, stated that, amid the global shift toward energy transition, Taiwan is strongly promoting the development of green energy technology and smart power management systems. Currently, end-users are primarily categorized into three groups: “stable load users (24-hour power usage),” “users with significant peak-to-off-peak load variations,” and “high-demand users with contractual capacity obligations.” Each category can utilize various strategies, such as time-of-use rate adjustments, optimization of contractual capacity, obligated hours rebates, and participation in real-time spinning reserve support, to mitigate rising electricity costs and achieve a five-year return on investment. Billion Watts offers a revenue-sharing energy-saving program, allowing site owners to provide their premises for Billion Watts’ investment in the energy storage system. Under this no-upfront-cost model, owners can enjoy up to 20% in energy savings through cost transfers, with a buyback option available. This flexible collaboration model makes it easier for site owners to adopt energy storage equipment.

Industry Leaders Join Forces to Explore Smart Energy Transition and Low-Carbon Challenges

At the end of June, Billion Watts hosted its second "Smart Energy Transition for Businesses: Advancing Stable, Low-Carbon Power Supply" seminar. Collaborating with EY (Ernst & Young), NextDrive, TSTI, and Billion EVC, the event centered on the planning and implementation of solar-charging-storage applications and demand-side management systems, deeply examining the opportunities and challenges for companies in carbon reduction, green supply chains, and ESG-related issues.

EY's Executive Vice President, An Kai Liu, shared insights, discussing with participants how businesses can navigate the policy, market, and technology risks of energy transition, improve resource efficiency, and choose the right green power options. The afternoon session was led by Chun Jen Tuan, Director of TSTI's Digital Sustainability Division, who explained how digital transformation can elevate operational efficiency, support compliance, and enhance employee experiences. Following this, General Manager of NextDrive, Elisa Yi, presented on leveraging AI for multi-objective demand management to help both businesses and residential users achieve net-zero emissions.

Finally, Sam Chen, Director at Billion EVC, introduced their tailored EV charging solutions for Taiwanese communities, including the Smart Energy Management System (EV-EMS) and the application of AC/DC charging stations, offering a comprehensive one-stop solution for companies’ microgrid needs in solar, storage, and EV charging to support carbon reduction goals.

Power Revolution – Smart Energy Storage as the Core of Industrial and Commercial Energy Transformation



Billion Watts is experiencing a surge in demand for energy storage solutions across various industrial and commercial sectors. High electricity-consuming entities, including manufacturers of all scales—ranging from the textile and cement industries to schools, hospitals, construction, pharmaceuticals, and electronic equipment production—are seeking energy storage installations with capacities from hundreds of kW up to MW levels. For these commercial and industrial users, energy storage systems not only enhance power supply stability but also help mitigate the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

Billion’s Giga SERIES string inverters, in combination with our proprietary Energy Management System (EMS), support frequency regulation, real-time reserve power, demand response, and load suppression, maximizing renewable energy utilization.
