By using PEAK IQ, businesses have been able to reduce their electricity bills by up to 40 percent. Additionally, Convergent’s solutions have helped utilities defer multimillion-dollar infrastructure upgrades, further demonstrating the impact of its technologies.
Currently, Convergent has over 800 megawatts (MW) and 1 gigawatt-hour (GWh) of energy storage and solar-plus-storage systems either in operation or under development. This capacity is equivalent to the amount of power consumed by approximately 750,000 homes, underscoring Convergent’s significant role in advancing the clean energy transition.
