Technology / The fastest route to more power is behind your meter
Behind the meter explained
The fastest route to more power is behind your meter.
"Behind the meter" means everything on your side of the electricity meter: your site, your equipment, your control. Instead of waiting for the grid to give you more, we make far more of what you already have.
How it works
- 1
Your existing connection keeps supplying the site as normal.
- 2
Battery storage behind the meter charges when demand and prices are low.
- 3
At peak times the battery supplies chargers and site loads, so you never exceed your connection.
- 4
Vespr and Identic Energy decide when to store, when to release, and track what it saves you.
Grid upgrade vs behind the meter
| Grid upgrade | Behind the meter | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Often years | Typically 6–8 weeks |
| Cost | Network reinforcement charges | Investment in your own asset |
| Control | Fixed capacity | Managed, flexible capacity |
| Extra value | None | Peak savings, backup and future revenue |
Who it's for: any site where the grid is holding back electrification, growth or cost control.
