Financing Your Energy Future

You’ve run the numbers. Energy storage makes sense – reduced demand charges, grid independence, protection from outages. But dedicating $2M, $10M, or $50M in capital budget to new technology? That’s a different conversation with your board.

What if you didn’t have to choose between energy savings and capital preservation?

At Empower IT, we offer flexible financing solutions tailored to your business model, balance sheet, and risk tolerance. Because one size doesn’t fit all when you’re talking millions.

The Real ROI of Energy Storage

Energy storage isn’t an expense—it’s an asset that generates returns from multiple revenue streams simultaneously. Here’s how the math works.

Where the Savings Come From

Most commercial electricity bills have a hidden multiplier: demand charges. These fees—based on your highest 15-minute power spike each month—typically account for 30-70% of your total bill. A single equipment startup or HVAC surge can cost you thousands.

Battery storage eliminates this problem. By discharging during demand spikes, your system keeps your peak draw low—and your demand charges drop accordingly. Customers typically see 20-40% reductions in total electricity costs through strategic deployment.

But demand charge reduction is just the beginning.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Financing FAQ

  • Do you work with tax-exempt organizations?

    Yes. We have specialized financing for municipalities, schools, hospitals, and other tax-exempt entities. 

  • What if our facility is leased?

    We have structures specifically designed for leased facilities. Landlord cooperation required but very manageable. 

  • Can we finance multiple locations under one agreement?

    Absolutely. Multi-site financing is one of our specialties and often yields better terms. 

  • How long does financing approval take?

    Initial pre-approval can happen in 48-72 hours. Full underwriting typically takes 2-3 weeks depending on project complexity. 

  • What credit requirements do you have?

    We work with businesses across the credit spectrum. Projects $1M-$5M typically require good commercial credit. Larger projects have more flexible structures. 

Reduced Cost of Storage

In utility-scale and commercial applications where cycle count and duration fall within 2-4 hour ranges, LFP consistently delivers the lowest total cost of ownership. Typical containerized systems deliver 4.0-5.0 MWh per container at approximately 2.5 MW power capacity, optimizing the balance between energy capacity and power delivery that most grid applications require.


When your business model depends on arbitrage—buying power at off-peak rates and selling during peak demand—every dollar per kWh matters, and LFP’s cost structure sets the industry standard.

 

Bankers Trust

CFOs and project finance teams need risk predictability. LFP technology provides exactly that. With thousands of operational installations and decades of field data, financial institutions can model performance, degradation, and residual value with confidence. This translates to competitive financing rates, established insurance markets, and predictable warranty structures—all backed by manufacturers with strong balance sheets.

A+ Efficiency

LFP systems achieve 92-95% round-trip efficiency, meaning minimal energy loss during charge-discharge cycles. This efficiency remains stable across the system’s operational life, typically delivering 10,000+ cycles at 70% depth of discharge before reaching 80% state of health.


For applications involving multiple cycles per day—such as frequency regulation combined with peak shaving—this cycle life becomes mission-critical. Systems can perform daily cycling for well over a decade, covering initial financing periods and extending into cash-flow positive operation.

Maintain Financial Flexibility

Keep your credit lines and cash reserves available for core business opportunities. Energy storage shouldn’t limit your strategic options.

Tax Efficiency

Our financing structures are designed with tax optimization in mind. Consult with your tax advisor about potential advantages including ITC credits, depreciation benefits, and interest deductions.

Our Financing Philosophy

We put our money where our mouth is.

We don’t just sell energy storage systems and walk away. We’re willing to finance your project because we’ve done the analysis, run the numbers, and seen the results across hundreds of installations.
When we say energy storage works, we’re backing that claim with real capital. Your risk is minimized. Our confidence is maximized.

Average Project Metrics:

Most facilities see a 15-25% reduction in energy costs within the first year of operation, with demand charge savings ranging from $50,000 to over $500,000 annually depending on facility size and energy profile. ROI is typically achieved in 5-7 years, and with proper financing structure, projects become cash flow positive from month one—meaning your savings exceed your payment from day one. We’ve successfully financed projects ranging from $1 million to over $100 million, proving the model scales across facility types and sizes. Of course, results vary based on your specific facility size, energy consumption profile, and local utility rate structure, which is why we always start with a detailed analysis of your unique situation.
