The White Pine Shared Savings Agreement (SSA) for battery energy storage systems (ESS) is a long-term services contract. White Pine deploys and operates an ESS at the customer’s place of business, then the savings produced by the ESS are split between the customer and White Pine.
White Pine covers 100% of costs associated with ESS project development and construction. We also assume all expenses and risks for maintaining and operating the ESS over time. As a performance-based services contract, the SSA provides savings to the customer without burdening their balance sheet.
White Pine is your long-term partner in smart energy management. Our team oversees the entire process from start to finish to ensure our ESS solutions meet your expectations. Delivering all SSA services in a complete package results in a superior customer experience.
Our Shared Savings Agreements incentivize White Pine to produce the maximum amount of savings, because we don’t get paid unless our customers save. We work around the clock to ensure the battery is used to its full potential.
White Pine Shared Savings Agreements help our customers:
The battery can be configured to automatically provide backup power to customer critical loads during a utility outage.
Unlike generators that are offline most of the year, the battery can also generate revenue when there isn’t a grid outage.
The battery helps businesses shave peak demand to avoid costly demand charges, which can make up as much as 50% of commercial utility bills. The example below shows an battery with a daily discharge process that eliminates peak demand charges to reduce monthly demand charges by 60%.
The battery discharges during the middle of the day to mitigate a load spike and reduce demand charges. During the evening on peak period, the battery discharges again to reduce on peak energy and demand charges.
