## Gexpro Launches a New Robust Battery Energy Storage Solution Offering

Shelton, CT – Gexpro, a worldwide electrical distributor and solutions provider,
is, in fact, a subsidiary of Rexel. Rexel is well-known for its innovative approaches
and customer-centric offerings. Moreover, it will offer, in conjunction with Geli,
Ideal Power, and LG Chem, an advanced Battery Energy Storage Solution (“BESS”). 
This solution is specifically designed to meet the growing demands of modern energy
needs.

Consequently, this offering is aimed at commercial and industrial customers who 
are, as a result, under constant pressure to optimize their operations. These customers
are increasingly looking for ways to not only enhance energy efficiency but also
to reduce costs and minimize their environmental impact. In light of this growing
demand for sustainable practices, Gexpro, as a recognized leader in energy solutions,
will, therefore, be the system integrator that these businesses can truly rely on.
They will ensure seamless integration of the BESS into existing infrastructures,
consequently facilitating a smooth transition that involves close collaboration 
with clients to effectively tailor solutions that meet their specific needs. By 
leveraging advanced technology and expertise, Gexpro aims to empower organizations
not only to achieve their energy efficiency goals but also to drive innovation in
their respective industries.

## BESS

The first Gexpro [Battery Energy Storage](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/03/henry-tepper-joins-patagonia-sur-as-chief-officer/)
Solution available to the marketplace will be a 30kW, 45kWh complete turnkey “BESS.”
It is for use in the North American behind-the-meter demand charge reduction market.
Demand charges in many states can be up to 50% of the total energy bill for a commercial
consumer. Typically, an installation will use between one and eight 30kW Battery
Energy Storage Solutions. This is in a commercial building with high peak loads.
Such buildings include retail, office buildings, and schools.
