CM Enterprises (Dorset) Ltd is a business based at Moor Crichel, Dorset. To cut energy costs and improve resilience, it partnered with DES Renewable Energy to install a commercial battery storage system that stores low-cost off-peak energy, reduces peak-time grid demand and supports its long-term sustainability goals.
Project overview
CM Enterprises (Dorset) Ltd commissioned DES Renewable Energy to install a 45 kWh Sigenergy battery storage system with a 15kW Sigenergy inverter. Against an annual electricity consumption of around 27,375 kWh, the system stores cheaper off-peak energy for use at peak times, reducing grid demand and energy costs.
Project details
- Company: CM Enterprises (Dorset) Ltd
- Location: Northfield House, Moor Crichel, BH21 5DU
- Battery storage: 45 kWh Sigenergy battery with 15kW Sigenergy inverter
- Installation type: Commercial battery storage system
- Project timeline: Delivered 2026, from survey to commissioning
The objectives
- Reduce electricity costs and peak-time grid demand
- Improve energy resilience and security of supply
- Achieve long-term operational savings and financial returns
- Demonstrate responsible energy practices to staff and stakeholders
The solution: bespoke assessment and design
DES Renewable Energy conducted a comprehensive assessment of the site and its electrical infrastructure to ensure optimal system sizing and long-term reliability. The system was designed around a 45 kWh Sigenergy battery paired with a 15kW Sigenergy inverter, integrated with the site’s existing electrical infrastructure to shift consumption away from peak periods and provide back-up resilience.
DES Renewable Energy ensured compliance with building regulations, electrical standards and industry best practices. All necessary permits and approvals were obtained to guarantee a fully compliant and safe installation.
Installation and completion
The installation was carried out with minimal disruption to day-to-day site operations. The battery system was securely installed, connected to the inverter and integrated with the existing electrical system. Comprehensive testing and commissioning verified the system’s performance, functionality and safety. From initial assessment to completed commissioning, DES Renewable Energy provided a turnkey solution that ensures regulatory compliance and sustainable operational savings.
The results
- Energy cost reduction: stores cheaper off-peak energy to cut peak-time electricity costs
- Energy resilience: provides back-up capacity and reduces reliance on the grid
- Financial returns: savings on energy costs contribute to long-term financial sustainability
- Public image: demonstrates responsible energy practices to staff and stakeholders
