Imagine running a remote construction site where the power never sleeps. The tower crane must lift all day, pumps run through the night, and the hum of a diesel generator never stops. The result? Fuel bills that spiral out of control, constant refuelling runs, and noise complaints from kilometres away.
Now picture the same site powered differently: instead of a generator running 24/7, it only operates two hours a day—yet your equipment stays powered around the clock. This isn’t a distant vision; it’s the reality hybrid power systems are already delivering.
And the timing couldn’t be more urgent. At the 2025 World Energy Storage Conference, IRENA’s new report Key Enablers for the Energy Transition: Solar and Storage made it clear: renewable energy and advanced storage are no longer optional add-ons—they are the backbone of resilient, sustainable power systems.
For industries like construction, mining, and infrastructure development, which depend on temporary power in off-grid environments, this shift is more than a sustainability target—it’s a business imperative.
Why Industrial Battery Storage Matters
Industrial battery storage has emerged as one of the most important building blocks of tomorrow’s energy systems. Unlike small residential batteries, these large-scale systems are designed to deliver significant capacity and discharge performance to meet the heavy demands of construction sites, manufacturing operations, and industrial facilities.
Key benefits include:
● Grid stability: absorbing and releasing energy as demand fluctuates.
● Integration of renewables: storing excess solar or wind power for later use.
● Reduced fuel consumption: decreasing generator run hours and associated costs.
● Lower maintenance: fewer operating hours for generators means less wear and tear.
Foxtheon’s EnergyPack series is a prime example of containerized BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) that bring these advantages to real projects. With plug-and-play deployment, industrial users can immediately reduce reliance on fossil fuels while maintaining robust and continuous power.
Mobile Energy Storage for Flexible Deployment
While containerized BESS is ideal for larger, semi-permanent installations, many projects require mobility. Mobile energy storage has become essential for contractors, event organizers, and infrastructure developers who need temporary power solutions that can be quickly deployed and relocated.
Foxtheon’s SolarPad and modular energy storage systems are designed with this flexibility in mind. They can be transported easily, set up within hours, and integrated seamlessly with existing site infrastructure.
Benefits for customers include:
● Rapid response: perfect for emergency relief or short-term projects.
● Clean and quiet: delivering silent power for construction sites or events.
● Scalability: multiple units can be combined for larger loads.
Mobile energy storage is proving especially valuable in markets like Australia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, where off-grid and remote projects are expanding quickly.
Temporary and Off-grid Power Systems
Not every project has access to a reliable grid connection. Mining sites, infrastructure developments in remote regions, and even temporary facilities for events all depend on off-grid power systems.
Here, Foxtheon delivers integrated solutions that combine containerized BESS, mobile energy storage, and hybrid generatorsinto a single ecosystem. These systems are designed for:
● Fast deployment: ready to install and commission in days, not weeks.
● Scalability: from small site offices to multi-megawatt industrial applications.
● Low maintenance: less need for on-site intervention thanks to automated energy management.
For customers, this means fewer logistical challenges, lower operating costs, and a smaller environmental footprint—without compromising reliability.
Hybrid Power Solutions for Construction
Construction sites are among the most challenging environments for energy management. Loads fluctuate throughout the day—for example, tower cranes during daylight hours and pumps running at night. Traditional diesel generators are often oversized to handle peak demand, leading to wasted fuel and higher emissions when loads are low.
Hybrid power solutions for construction are reshaping this dynamic. By integrating generator hybrid systems with battery storage, Foxtheon ensures that generators only run when necessary, while stored energy covers variable or peak loads.
Real-world results show:
● Fuel savings of 30–60%, depending on site conditions.
● Significant CO₂ reduction, helping customers meet sustainability targets.
● Silent operation during low-load periods, improving working conditions and community relations.
One Australian project, for instance, replaced a 250 kVA diesel generator running 24/7 with a hybrid system combining a 100 kVA generator and an EnergyPack P200. The generator now operates just 2hours per day, charging the battery in cycles, while the storage system delivers continuous power. This not only cut fuel consumption drastically but also reduced noise complaints from nearby residents.

From Report Insights to Real-World Applications
The IRENA report underscores three enablers for solar + storage growth:
● Policy and regulation supporting hybridization and decentralised solutions
● Technology cost reduction, especially in lithium-ion storage
● Business models that make hybrid and storage projects bankable
These drivers are already visible on the ground. At construction sites in Australia, Singapore, and the Middle East, Foxtheon’s EnergyPack and HybridPack systems are proving how off-grid power systems can be reimagined.
Examples include:
● Replacing oversized diesel generators with a generator hybrid system using batteries for peak shaving.
● Deploying industrial battery storage to provide temporary site power with minimal emissions.
● Integrating solar + storage to reduce operational costs and meet sustainability targets.
