What is Energy Storage?
Energy storage systems—like batteries—store electricity for use when it's most valuable. These systems help businesses reduce energy costs, manage peak demand, and maintain power during outages. When paired with generation sources like solar, wind, or even gas, energy storage adds flexibility, reliability, and control to your energy strategy.

CASE STUDY
Bernardston
6.802 GWh
6.71 MWh
The Bernardston Community Solar Project stands out as a critical initiative designed to serve low-income communities under Massachusetts’ SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) Program. By requiring at least 50% of subscribers to qualify as low-income households and guaranteeing these subscribers a minimum savings of 10% on their energy bills, the project exemplifies how renewable energy can drive both sustainability and equity.
Applications for Energy Storage
Deploy scalable storage systems that enable peak shaving, frequency regulation, renewable integration, and time-of-use arbitrage—enhancing system reliability and operational efficiency across diverse energy applications.
Grid Stability and Ancillary Services
ESS can offer services such as frequency regulation, voltage support, and spinning reserve, contributing to the overall stability and efficiency of the electrical grid.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Support
Universities and research institutions often have substantial and variable energy needs. Implementing DG allows these campuses to manage energy consumption more effectively, integrate renewable sources, and serve as models for sustainable practices.
Time-of-Use Energy Cost Optimization
ESS allows consumers to store energy when electricity rates are low and use it when rates are high, leading to significant cost savings.
Backup Power Supply
In the event of grid outages, Pacifico's ESS can provide immediate backup power, ensuring continuity of operations for critical infrastructure, businesses, and residential users.
Peak Shaving and Load Management
By discharging stored energy during periods of high electricity demand, ESS can reduce the load on the grid, lower energy costs, and minimize the need for additional power generation capacity.
Renewable Energy Integration
Industries with high energy demands, such as manufacturing plants, data centers, and large commercial complexes, benefit from DG by reducing energy costs and enhancing reliability. On-site generation can also provide backup power during grid outages, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Energy Storage FAQs
About Battery Energy Storage
How long does it take to install a battery storage system with Pacifico?
The timeline depends on factors like the size of your facility and how much existing infrastructure is in place. However, our experienced team handles everything—from permitting to final commissioning—so you can go live as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Will I still be connected to the grid with Pacifico’s storage setup?
In most cases, yes. Remaining connected gives you the flexibility to draw power when you need it and send excess energy back when you’ve got a surplus. It’s the best of both worlds—greater independence while keeping that safety net.
Do I need a large facility to benefit from Pacifico’s battery solutions?
Not at all. Our systems can be scaled up or down to meet the demands of everything from small offices to large industrial complexes. The key is tailoring the system to your energy needs.
