Battery energy storage for councils, mine sites and remote communities

Smaller peaks. Less diesel. A clear answer in five business days.

We size, supply, commission and support battery storage across Australia, from a single 233 kWh cabinet to multi-megawatt-hour systems. Send us the data you already have, and within five business days we'll tell you whether a battery stacks up at your site.

  • Go/no-go in 5 business days
  • Fixed-fee study you own
  • Training included

Why Edisonic

We start with your numbers.

Every recommendation comes from your interval data or fuel records, with a modelled payback.

We tell you if it doesn't stack up.

A "no" from the go/no-go costs you nothing.

You own the study.

The feasibility study and its specification belong to you.

We stay after commissioning.

Operator training is included. Monitoring, spares and capacity testing are planned before the system ships.

Where batteries pay back

Councils

Waste facilities, treatment plants, pools and depots pay for their peaks. A battery shaves them and stores midday solar for the evening. In NSW, business batteries can now earn incentive certificates.

Mine sites

Fewer engines running for spinning reserve, less diesel, fewer engine hours and lower scope 1 emissions for Safeguard sites.

Remote communities

Solar and storage cut the litres, the fuel runs and the outages. Operator training and remote monitoring come built in.

How it works

  1. Send your data.

    For a grid site, that's 12 months of interval data and two bills. For an off-grid site, it's 12 months of fuel records.

  2. Get a go/no-go in five business days.

    One page tells you whether a battery is worth a full study at your site, and why. It costs nothing.

  3. Commission a fixed-fee feasibility study.

    It covers load, tariff or fuel analysis, sizing, payback, incentives and the connection pathway. The study is yours to keep.

  4. We deliver and stay.

    Supply, commissioning, operator training, monitoring and lifecycle support.

Frequently asked questions

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

A BESS stores electricity and releases it when it's worth more: at peak demand, overnight after a solar day, or when a generator would otherwise have to run. Ours use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, liquid cooling and an energy management system with remote monitoring.

What size of site suits a battery?

Our smallest system is a 233 kWh cabinet. It suits sites whose demand peaks well above 100 kW, sites with a large solar system, and sites that run generators for much of the day.

How much does a battery cost?

That depends on size, site works and the network connection. We price systems landed, installed and commissioned once the study confirms the size. The go/no-go costs nothing.

Are there incentives for commercial batteries?

In NSW, the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme has included business batteries above 200 kWh (activity BESS5) since September 2026, and the NSW Government says the discounts cut the upfront cost of batteries by around 20 to 40 per cent. Federal and state programs also fund some council and remote community projects. We check eligibility for your site and system in the study.
