Why BESS Helps 24/7 Operations

Why BESS Is Essential for 24/7 Operations in 2026 and Beyond

The Demands of a 24/7 Business

Running a 24/7 operation is demanding. Whether you manage:

• a manufacturing facility,

• a gym,

• a distribution centre,

• a hospital,

• a supermarket,

• or a data-driven organisation,

…you rely heavily on consistent, uninterrupted power. Any form of outage, even for a few seconds, can cause production delays, equipment damage, customer frustration, and financial loss.

This is why more businesses operating around the clock are turning to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as a reliable, cost-effective solution.

How BESS Supports 24/7 Reliability

1. Backup Power When You Need It

Power outages are becoming more common due to:

• Grid instability

• Extreme weather

• Increased demand

• Ageing infrastructure

A DropBox GES BESS solution provides instant backup power, ensuring your operations continue without interruptions. Unlike traditional generators, BESS activates instantly, with no warm-up time, no noise, and no fuel.

2. Reduce Costs With Peak Shaving

24/7 businesses often get hit with high peak-demand charges. A BESS allows you to reduce electricity drawn from the grid during expensive peak periods, significantly lowering your energy bills.

Peak shaving is one of the fastest ways to reduce operational costs, especially for high-usage businesses.

3. Improve Energy Efficiency

BESS stores energy during low-demand or low-cost periods, and then uses it when prices rise. This smooths out your energy profile and reduces waste, improving efficiency across your operation.

4. Protect Sensitive Equipment

Sudden drops or spikes in voltage can damage:

• refrigeration units,

• conveyor systems,

• servers,

• laboratory equipment,

• medical devices,

• EV chargers,

• machinery,

• security systems.

A BESS stabilises your power supply, keeping your equipment safe and extending its lifespan.

Why 24/7 Facilities Are Adopting BESS Faster Than Ever

As energy prices continue to fluctuate and grid reliability becomes less predictable, businesses operating around the clock are adopting BESS to protect their revenue and unlock new energy-saving opportunities.

A DropBox GES BESS allows you to:

• stay online at all times,

• control when and how you use energy,

• reduce reliance on the grid,

• cut costs,

• manage sustainability goals.

It’s a long-term solution that pays for itself.
