Schneider Electric Announces UK Launch of Schneider Boost Pro, Its New Battery Energy Storage Solution, Equipping Buildings with Advance Energy Management

Schneider Boost Pro helps both commercial and industrial sites to cut energy costs, reduce their carbon footprint and ensure operations continue to run smoothly. ​

Driven by the continued electrification and the growing transition from CO₂-intensive oil and gas-based production to more sustainable manufacturing approaches, renewables now produce 44% of the UK’s electricity according to the National Energy Systems Operator (NESO). Increasing this figure is proving challenging, however, due to renewable variability, intermittency and the need for grid modernisation to deliver a flexible and interactive system. ​

Schneider Boost Pro is a solution that supports the energy transition by delivering energy storage capabilities that enhance flexibility, stability, and efficiency in power supply across industrial and commercial buildings.

The Schneider Boost Pro battery storage system is also suitable for deployment in depot environments to support the charging of heavy-duty vehicles such as buses and trucks. Additionally, it can be integrated into transit infrastructure – such as along highways – where reliable and high-capacity charging solutions are essential. ​

Scalable from 200 kWh to 2 MWh, by combining up to 10 units, Schneider Boost Pro is part of Schneider Electric’s end-to-end solution to optimise energy operations as demand grows. This comprehensive solution includes power distribution, EV chargers, edge control, software and services. ​

Schneider Boost Pro offers a range of benefits tailored to the needs of modern buildings, through the following use cases:

• Self-Consumption Optimisation: Stores surplus renewable energy to maximise its use and increase energy independence.
• Extra Power Allocation: Balances energy use across different sites, using a pre-charged battery energy storage system when the required energy demand is higher than the energy available. Also provides reliable backup power during outages.
• Tariff Management: Enables customers to manage self-consumption and load shifting. Battery charges during off-peak hours, when electricity prices are low, and discharges during peak hours, when prices are high, to reduce energy costs.

Key Product Features of the Schneider Boost Pro Battery Energy Storage System:

• Scalability: Up to ten Schneider Boost Pro units can be combined, delivering a total capacity of up to 2 MWh – ideal for growing energy demands.
• Certified Cybersecurity by Design: Ensures comprehensive data protection and encrypted communications, meeting the highest security standards.
• AI-driven insights: Integrates with EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor, a cloud-based, AI-powered solution capable of forecasting weather conditions, site production, demand schemes and market conditions, enabling more accurate predictions and optimised decision-making.
• Support and Service: Starts with expert installation and includes tailored service and maintenance plans, rapid response times, and the option for remote maintenance to ensure maximum system uptime.

Schneider Boost Pro empowers businesses to deliver intelligent, flexible energy management through smart battery storage. This is crucial in the new energy landscape as it helps balance the variability of renewable energy sources and reduces pressure on the grid during peak demand. It means businesses can become more resilient, efficient, and sustainable in their operations – enabling them to reshape their energy strategies for the future.
