Demand Charge Control
- Your energy bill isn’t driven by total usage — it’s driven by short, high-intensity peak demand spikes that trigger costly utility charges and penalties.
- We control those spikes using smart, automated energy management systems (storage, solar, load control), cutting demand charges and lowering overall operational costs.
The Hidden Cost of Peak Demand
Most businesses don’t realize what’s actually driving their energy bill.
It’s not total usage — it’s short, high-intensity spikes in demand.
A single event — equipment starting at once, or a fast charger turning on — can set your peak for the entire month. That one moment determines what you pay, even if it only happens once.
That’s why companies see bills jump from $2,000 to $5,000+ without understanding why.
Why Solar Alone Fails
Many businesses turn to solar expecting lower costs — but demand charges remain unchanged.
Solar reduces energy consumption, but it does not control when power is used.
And demand charges are driven by when, not how much.
That’s why companies install solar… and still face rising bills.
Without controlling demand, you’re solving the wrong problem.
How Battery + Controller Work
Sprocket Power focuses on what actually matters: control.
We combine battery storage with intelligent control systems that actively manage your load in real time.
- When demand spikes → the battery responds instantly
- When patterns repeat → the system anticipates and optimizes
- When energy is available → it’s stored and deployed strategically
Individually, these are just devices.
Connected and controlled, they become a system that reshapes your energy profile.
Financial Impact
We don’t sell hardware — we build the investment case.
Every project starts with a detailed financial model that shows:
- What your bill looks like today
- Where demand charges are impacting you
- How different system configurations perform
- What your actual ROI and payback will be
Even battery manufacturers have called our modeling “more advanced than anything they’ve seen.”
Because without understanding the economics, the system doesn’t matter.
Case Study Reference
A commercial customer adding EV charging was projected to triple their energy costs due to demand spikes.
By implementing a controlled battery solution, Sprocket reduced peak exposure and stabilized their monthly costs — without limiting operations.
