Municipalities & Co-ops – Frequently Asked Questions
In ERCOT, we are Level 4 QSE and perform all demand response programs in-house. Outside of ERCOT, we utilize 3rd parties but are finalizing our CSP registration in other energy markets such as PJM and other ISOs.
Yes, we have the expertise to create many types of renewable energy solutions, including energy management and energy procurement for municipalities & co-ops, and more.
Choosing the most reliable backup energy solution depends on several factors unique to your facility. We match your energy requirements with the right technology.
Our typical approach includes:
- Understanding your energy load profile (ie critical loads, peak demand, backup power duration, equipment sensitivity) to determine if you need full-facility energy backup or selective load coverage.
- Identifying ride-through requirements to evaluate batteries/UPS systems for momentary ride-through (seconds) or generator/BESS/hybrid power solutions (longer ride-through), all while ensuring compliance with regulatory, insurance or operational guidelines.
- Evaluating on-site equipment feasibility such as available space, fuel type, noise, emissions, permitting and utility/grid interconnection
- Supporting energy lifecycle cost, reliability, and operational benefits with energy solution comparisons of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), UPS systems, natural gas/diesel generators and microgrid solutions with solar, BESS and power generation for enhanced resilience.
- Designing a Customized Energy Reliability Plan, to meet compliance, operational continuity, budget, site and future load growths.
We partner with municipalities and electric cooperatives to deliver low cost and reliable power, support site expansion load demands, and unlock substantial energy cost savings.
