New electricity demand is surging, driven by power hungry data centers, advanced manufacturing, and autonomous vehicles. But companies can’t get the power they need because they rely on large, centralized power plants and the electric grid.
The grid is already at capacity. New power plants wait 5 years to connect to the grid. This problem isn’t going away anytime soon: it takes 10+ years to build a new transmission line.
As power is becoming even more critical to business operations, power resiliency is becoming even more vital to businesses. Gigawatts of grid-independent generators are being deployed to ensure operational continuity in the case of brown-outs and black-outs.
Businesses need a solution. They need a way to access power without waiting on the legacy grid.
Diesel generators can provide this energy. They are used today in some of the most important, most demanding sectors of the economy: oil & gas drilling, construction, and data center back-up power.
The problem: generators are expensive and inefficient. Energy from diesel generators is 5-10x more expensive than electricity from the grid. Diesel generators are also loud and release harmful air pollutants.
