Distributed Energy Resources

Improve Energy Efficiency & Reduce Utility Costs

Custom tailored DERs, (Distributed Energy Resources) can protect your sensitive equipment from unreliable utility power, mitigate loss or reduction in production due to extended outages, increase energy efficiency, and may also offer a strong return on investment.

  • Backup Generators: Operate with reliable backup power—essential for operations where even brief outages carry high costs.

  • Load Management & Demand Response: Reduce peak demand charges and earn incentives through utility demand response programs.

  • Combined Heat & Power (CHP): Improve fuel efficiency by generating electricity and repurposing waste heat for industrial processes. CHP systems can reduce energy costs by up to 40% and can deliver ROI in as little as 3–5 years.

Examples of Distributed Energy Resources

Micro-Grids / Backup Power
  • Small-scale electric network connecting customers to an electrical supply.
  • Can stand on its own to supply electricity to the customer or operate in parallel with the utility.
  • Can use any combination of energy resources including solar panels, battery banks, and internal combustion generators for maximum localized power resilience.
  • Can provide backup power for sustaining critical processes, disaster recovery/continuity, and insurance required systems.
  • Production of steam and electricity simultaneously.
  • Greatly improved efficiencies when steam is needed for other processes.
  • Reduction of loads during costly peak use periods (peak shaving).
  • Utility incentives may be available for peak shaving or peaking operations.
  • Peak shaving assets can also be used for backup power.
  • Utility incentives to reduce peak energy demand.
  • Can result in massive savings on your utility bill.
  • Commercial and Industrial solar
  • Combined biogas/landfill gas and compressed natural gas generators.
  • Biomass power generation
  • Energy storage
  • Hydrogen
  • Substitute natural gas with a propane-air mixture for continued operations during gas line interruptions.
