As energy costs rise, the weather grows more unpredictable and infrastructure ages, commercial and industrial (C&I) sectors face mounting pressure to stay agile. Energy storage is an important and versatile tool to help manage onsite power quality and reliability, reduce energy costs and enable the greater adoption of locally produced renewable energy. However, given the broad and technically demanding range of applications C&I energy storage solutions can provide, which technology is best suited for your needs? Join us for a webinar exploring how Honeywell’s energy storage technologies are helping businesses adapt in real time by boosting resilience, managing costs through energy arbitrage and advancing energy efficiency goals.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are rapidly becoming a critical component of modern power systems. But what is it really like to operate one for the first time? Join this exclusive session to hear directly from the teams behind one of the biggest BESS deployments in the Central American and Caribbean region. In this webinar, industry leaders from InterEnergy and TWAICE will present their real-world experience operating a BESS from the ground up. You’ll hear from Laura PerezAmigo (Operations Manager at InterEnergy), and Matthew Drazenovich (Technical Solution Engineer at TWAICE) about what it takes to transition from traditional energy operations to battery-based systems. Participants will learn about the unique challenges encountered—from system integration with PV assets to performance optimization under dynamic grid conditions—and how decisions made early in the lifecycle can have long-term impacts.
