Food technology platform Wonder has saved approximately $20,000 in energy costs at its physical locations since installing stationary plug-in batteries at some sites six months ago, according to the company.

The suitcase-sized batteries were provided at no cost by David Energy, a retail energy company that aids facilities in lowering their rates by reducing peak energy use. David Energy generates revenue from the supplier margin on energy sales and by sharing in the value generated by customers participating in utility demand-response programs.
