Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, has launched its latest local battery energy storage system, Schneider Boost Pro, across European markets. The solution enables commercial and industrial facilities to reduce energy expenses, lower carbon emissions, and maintain uninterrupted operations.
With energy systems rapidly shifting from oil and gas to low-carbon alternatives, renewables now account for roughly 50% of electricity consumption in the EU. However, integrating a higher share of renewable energy remains a challenge due to variable supply, intermittency, and the need for a modernized, flexible grid.
Schneider Boost Pro supports the energy transition by providing storage solutions that improve grid stability, operational flexibility, and energy efficiency for commercial and industrial buildings. The system is also suitable for depots and transport hubs, helping charge heavy-duty vehicles, including buses and trucks, as well as high-demand charging infrastructure along highways and other transit corridors.
Schneider Boost Pro can be scaled from 200 kWh up to 2 MWh by combining up to ten units. It forms part of Schneider Electric’s holistic energy management ecosystem, which integrates power distribution, EV chargers, edge control, software, and services.
Schneider Boost Pro helps businesses make the most of renewable energy by storing surplus power for later use. This capability allows organizations to increase self-sufficiency, reduce reliance on the grid, and make renewable energy a larger part of their daily operations.
The system also provides robust support during peak energy demand and unexpected outages. By delivering additional power when consumption exceeds supply, it ensures critical operations remain uninterrupted and enhances overall energy resilience.
In addition, Schneider Boost Pro enables smarter energy cost management. By charging during off-peak periods and discharging when rates are high, it helps organizations reduce electricity expenses while optimizing energy use. The system can also respond to transmission operator signals, creating opportunities to generate revenue and contribute to grid stability.
Designed for flexibility and reliability, Schneider Boost Pro can scale up to 2 MWh by combining multiple units, making it suitable for growing energy demands. It features advanced cybersecurity to protect data, integrates AI-driven insights through EcoStruxureMicrogrid Advisor for precise forecasting and decision-making, and comes with full-service support including professional installation, maintenance plans, rapid response, and remote assistance to maximize uptime.
Anthony Song, CEO of Schneider eStar, commented “The rise of renewables and widespread electrification is reshaping energy needs. By 2030, commercial and industrial electricity demand could rise by up to 35%, largely due to EV charging. Many organizations face challenges from limited grid capacity and intermittent renewable generation. Schneider Boost Pro equips businesses with flexible energy management, allowing them to adapt to the evolving energy landscape.”
Schneider Boost Pro provides companies with reliable, smart energy storage solutions that balance renewable energy supply, reduce peak grid pressure, and enhance operational resilience. It helps organizations build more efficient, sustainable energy strategies while supporting the shift toward a low-carbon future.
