Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store electricity for use during periods of high demand or when energy generation is low. These systems help keep power reliable and the grid stable. BESS can be used for homes, businesses or utility-scale applications. Customers typically incorporate battery storage as part of a broader energy strategy, with systems tailored to meet specific operational needs and energy management goals. 

Battery energy storage is transforming how power systems operate—bridging the gap between generation and demand with speed and precision. By storing excess energy when demand is low and releasing it when the grid needs it most, storage improves reliability, resilience and cost control. For utilities, commercial and industrial customers, and communities, this means fewer curtailments, better renewable integration and stronger protection against volatility in energy markets. With battery energy storage, you’re not just managing energy—you’re building a smarter, more stable grid.

For utilities, battery energy storage systems are a flexible, reliable way to manage supply and demand. Stored energy can be deployed during peak periods or outages to maintain consistent service, support grid stability and meet regulatory standards, all while easing the strain of capacity expansion.

Battery energy storage systems are designed with multiple layers of safety features and undergo rigorous testing. Advanced monitoring and control systems help prevent overcharging, overheating and other potential risks. When properly installed and maintained, these systems provide a safe, reliable and secure energy solution.

As the demand for electricity grows, battery energy storage plays a crucial role in balancing the supply and demand of power and ensuring a resilient energy future.

NextEra Energy Resources designs storage solutions that can perform multiple functions simultaneously, including energy shifting, frequency regulation, peak shaving, voltage support and backup power. Our systems can operate as stand-alone assets or can be paired with energy generation sources to improve dispatchability and reliability. Each project is engineered to meet specific operational goals and maximize performance and economic value throughout its lifecycle.
