Moment Energy provides a clean, affordable, and reliable battery energy storage system (BESS) by repurposing retired electric vehicle batteries.
This project uses a battery energy storage system (BESS) to help a facility avoid costly power infrastructure upgrades. By strategically managing energy use, it reduces peak demand on the grid and participates in the BC Hydro ESI program for cost savings.
The BC Hydro Energy Storage Incentive (ESI) program played a crucial role in enabling this project to implement a Moment Energy battery energy storage system (BESS). By financing 80% of the project cost, the ESI program facilitated the customer’s ability to adopt energy storage technology and reduce their energy costs.

Limited Transformer Capacity
The site's current power capacity is 1250 kW, with plans to upgrade to 1750 kW. However, the remaining 56 kWh (56 kVA) capacity is a major obstacle to electrification. Upgrading transformer capacity can take multiple years, adding further delays to meeting the site's power needs.

Moment Energy’s Luna BESS provides clean, affordable, and reliable power.
750 kVA BESS
Moment Energy recommended a 750 kVA BESS, with 400 kVA nominated for the BC Hydro ESI program and the rest for the customer's operations.
Energy Management System
The Luna BESS was integrated with an EMS to support the facility's two MVA transformer and manage participation in demand response events.
Remote Support & Maintainance
Moment Energy will provide ten years of remote support and maintenance for the Luna BESS, ensuring its optimal performance and reliability.

Project Cost Funded by BC Hydro
Participation in the BC Hydro ESI Program resulted in significant cost reduction for the project. The customer received financial incentives for nominating capacity to reduce loads from the BC Hydro grid during the winter months.
Additional Power
The Luna BESS deployment provided an additional 750 kVA of available power, addressing the transformer capacity constraint and facilitating future electrification efforts at the facility.
