Clemens Food Group to Deploy BESS
Clemens Food Group announced the addition of an energy storage system that will stabilize energy costs at its facility in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
The system for the pork processing company is projected to come online in 2026.
Convergent Energy and Power, a provider of energy storage solutions, will finance, own, and operate the 14.5-MW/29-MWh industrial-scale battery energy storage system, leveraging its proprietary energy storage intelligence, PEAK IQ®, to maximize value.
PJM, the market operator for the Mid-Atlantic, announced increased capacity charges for businesses like Clemens, which are expected to rise significantly year-over-year starting in June 2025. Convergent will charge and discharge its battery storage system for Clemens at strategic times, storing energy when it is cheapest and discharging energy to displace reliance on the electric grid during the most expensive times. As a result, Clemens will be able to reduce its energy costs and hedge against future volatility in energy pricing.
“We are proud to partner with Clemens Food Group, a family-owned, local business to help reduce their energy costs and their product cost to consumers,” says Johannes Rittershausen, CEO, Convergent Energy and Power, in a statement. “Convergent has a nearly 15-year track record of financing, owning, and operating energy storage systems on behalf of our customers to reduce costs, while improving the resilience and sustainability of the electric grid.”
