Webinar: How industry can use batteries to cut their energy costs

Published by

Energy resilience and stability is being discussed more frequently as demand for power increases, prices become more volatile and new technologies are introduced that require greater grid connection capacity and power consumption.

While electricity networks are designed to be as robust and resilient as possible, natural hazards and increasing intermittency of electricity generation presents risks for the grid, and therefore for businesses.

The result is that more and more businesses are choosing to add energy storage to their site, but for some businesses the high upfront costs are a key barrier. Now there’s a solution giving Australian companies the power to run leaner, cleaner and without the burden of large upfront investments.

This webinar was proudly brought to you by ABB & GridBeyond, and recorded on August 19, 2025.

Chair: Giles Parkinson

Panelists: Stuart Thompson & Chris O’Brien
