Renewables & Onsite Generation

As the costs of electricity, aging infrastructure, and lack of grid reliability continue to increase, organizations need to plan for long-term solutions.

Renewable energy and microgrids meet cost reduction, reliability, and sustainability goals. However, you'll need to consider.

With a myriad of traditional and developing technologies, which is best for your facility?
What are the most recent technologies?
What is the standard cost per kilowatt hour of the available options?
Which financing mechanism makes the most sense?
What contract terms and conditions would adversely affect you if not revised?
How does changing federal and state legislation affect your planning?
How do you apply onsite generation to a campus undergoing master planning?

Rising Costs: Clever California Utilities

As renewable energy and energy efficiency projects grow, California’s largest utilities have been forced to offset revenue reduction in creative ways.

Their solution? Adjust rate schedules to derive the bulk of their revenue from demand (kW) charges instead of generation (kWh) fees.

Renewable energy and onsite generation technologies can help mitigate these constantly rising costs to ensure your facility has a long-term solution for energy management.
