Energy storage can reduce costs for both grid operators and electricity consumers, simply by balancing peaks in consumption and surplus generation:Many electricity tariffs have time-of-use rates, where electricity prices are increased during high-demand periods. . There are also tariffs with capacity charges, typically applied to large commercial and industrial consumers. . Grid operators also benefit from a reduction of peak loads, since the required network capacity is based on the highest expected load. . [pdf]
