The grid is congested. But your connection can handle more than you think.
With peak shaving, you get more out of your existing grid connection—without waiting on the grid operator.
What is peak shaving?
Peak shaving literally means: smoothing out peaks. Your power consumption is not constant throughout the day. In the morning, all the machines turn on, everyone charges their car, the kitchen runs at full capacity, and your connection is pushed to its limits.
With peak shaving, you deploy a battery that charges during off-peak hours (or via solar panels) and steps in during peak moments. The result: you stay within your contracted capacity, while effectively having more capacity available.
No grid upgrade needed. No waiting list. No years of hassle.
What are the benefits?
Immediate cost savings: many energy contracts charge higher rates for peak consumption. By shaving peaks, you pay less.
No penalties: if you structurally exceed your contracted capacity, you risk fines from the grid operator. Peak shaving prevents this.
Expand without waiting: do you want charging stations, a heat pump, or additional production capacity? With peak shaving, that is often possible within your current connection.
Smarter integration: peak shaving works best in combination with solar panels and smart charging. What you generate during the day, you store. What you need in the evening, you draw from the battery.
How does it work in practice?
The system automatically learns your consumption patterns. After a few days, it knows when the peaks occur and proactively begins precharging the battery. You won't notice a thing, except on your energy bill.
Mithra installs the complete system: battery storage, inverters, sensors, and software. Everything is linked to your dashboard. You can see in real-time how much you are saving and how your capacity is being utilized.
Start with an energy audit. We measure your consumption profile, calculate your savings potential, and show you which storage solution fits your situation.
