Cuts the peaks
A few hours of high demand set the capacity charge for the whole month. PeakGuard keeps demand under the limit, so those hours never happen.

Assumptions
The flexible load is moved over four hours. The battery comes in 50 kWh modules with two hours of storage, runs one cycle a day at about 90% efficiency, and peaks last about an hour. The lower peak is counted once.
Recognise your site?
PeakGuard is built for small and medium-sized businesses in Norway – for your grid company's tariff, the spot price in your price area and meter data from Elhub.
Two ways PeakGuard lowers the bill
Both happen automatically, within the limits you set.
Uses the cheap hours
Electricity prices vary through the day, and with more wind and solar the swings grow. PeakGuard heats, charges and runs equipment when power is cheap.

Room for more equipment
Lower peaks make room for EV chargers, machines or heat pumps within the connection you have. You may avoid upgrading it, and the connection fee that comes with it.

From meter data to automatic operation
Four steps. We order nothing before you have approved the proposal.
1
Free site analysis
We show where the peaks come from, what can be moved and what it is worth. Ready about a week after we have your meter data.
2
Proposal
One to two weeks later you get the price and the calculated saving. You decide whether to go ahead.
3
Installation and test period
PeakGuard shows its plans without controlling anything. We compare the numbers with your invoice.
4
Automatic operation
Once you have approved, we switch on the control.
