Battery storage helps reduce electricity bills to just £14 per month

As energy prices soar amid a cost of living crisis, more and more billpayers are looking to find ways to cut costs. Most of us know about tactics like washing clothes at 30 degrees, or turning off devices in standby mode. But fewer people are aware of one of the most powerful ways to reduce electricity bills: battery storage technology.

A storage battery – put simply – will store up a supply of energy. To do so, it can charge using energy from renewables (like solar panels), or simply charge overnight using cheap, off-peak grid power. You can then run your home on battery power – dodging expensive grid rates in the process.

When it comes to controlling energy costs, then, a storage battery is a game-changer. Indeed, one GivEnergy customer – Gordon Gilchrist – has been able to reduce electricity bills to just £14 per month. In his own words, here’s Gordon’s story.
