BESS is essential for supporting the transition to renewable energy, as it helps make the energy supply more stable and reliable. It plays a key role in the shift toward 100% renewable energy by reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy security, and optimizing the use of green energy.
Renewable energy production is unevenly distributed, and the transmission grid plays a key role in delivering power to consumers. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can be helpful in remote areas where there isn’t access to electricity, and where the grid isn’t effective enough.

Battery storage plays a strategic role by storing surplus energy generated by solar panels, and helps to transition away from fossil fuels, by smoothing out the peaks and troughs associated with renewable energy generation.
We can contribute to fighting climate change by helping our clients use energy more sustainably.
BESS can solve many of the issues we face:
BESS is essential for a sustainable energy supply. The challenge with solar and wind power is unpredictability; They do not always produce energy when demand is high.
BESS is important for maintaining stable energy. By storing renewable energy surplus from periods of high production, this energy can be used when demand increases or when production from renewable sources is low. This balances the energy supply, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and helps achieve climate goals.
BESS promotes decentralized energy production. Households and businesses can use solar panels with BESS to produce, store and use their own energy, which strengthens energy independence, reduces strain on the power grid, and minimizes energy loss during transport. Battery solutions are also a good solution for construction sites to support electric machinery.
BESS improves energy security, especially in areas with frequent power outages or remote regions, by ensuring a reliable power supply without the need for new power plants.
At Ekoda, we are all about a clean, sustainable future. We believe BESS will play a big part in this journey. Ekoda’s vision is to lead the way toward a future powered by 100% renewable energy. We’re not just part of the transition – we’re driving it, pushing boundaries, and reshaping the energy landscape.
Our mission is to provide innovative, efficient, and sustainable BESS solutions that maximize value, drive clean energy adoption, and meet the unique needs of every customer. At Ekoda, we deliver backup that never backs down, ensuring power when downtime isn't an option. We don't just meet the standard – we set it.
We carefully select our suppliers, prioritizing those with strong sustainability practices. Whenever possible, we opt for locally produced components to further support environmental responsibility.
