One peak, a long tail
In many grids, part of your bill depends on your highest quarter-hours, so one busy moment keeps costing long after it is over.
Keep every quarter-hour under your peak
Your peak demand charge is set by your highest peaks. Pleevi forecasts the day, moves what can wait and lets the battery cover the rest, so the peak that sets your bill never happens.
One day at a real site
A workplace with four electric cars, a building, 50 kWp of solar, a 100 kWh battery and a 70 kW grid connection, on a dynamic energy price.

15–25%lower peak demand
40–60%lower demand charges with a battery
up to 30%lower energy and peak costs
One quarter-hour sets your bill
Over half the bill
On a site with fast chargers, demand charges can be more than half of the electricity bill.
Peaks nobody sees coming
Charging, production and building loads each run on their own, and the peak only shows up on the bill.

See the peak coming
Pleevi forecasts load, solar and prices a day ahead and re-plans whenever something changes, so peaks are handled before they happen.
- Weather-based solar forecasts
- Learns the rhythm of your site
Move what can wait
Charging and other flexible loads shift out of the peak quarter-hours; the loads you mark as fixed are never touched.
- You choose which loads are flexible
- Vehicles still leave on time
A battery for the rest
When a peak would still be set, the battery discharges just enough, and recharges when the grid has room.
- Works without a battery, better with one
- The Edge holds the limit on site, every second

Questions we often hear
How are peak demand charges calculated?
In many grids, part of your bill depends on your highest peaks. Pleevi plans ahead and spreads charging, battery use and flexible loads so those peaks stay low.
What makes it smart?
Basic peak shaving only knows your limit, so it slows every vehicle down at once. Smart peak shaving also knows when each one leaves and what it needs, so it can hold a lower peak and still charge everyone in full. See it with fifteen cars.
Do we need a battery?
No. Shifting charging and flexible loads already lowers your peaks. A battery lowers them further and adds other value streams.
Will production or operations be affected?
No. You decide which loads Pleevi may shift. Everything else runs exactly as it does today.
