We help small cities design and build resilient microgrids
Who We Serve
We specialize in providing municipal energy services to small to mid-size municipalities and public agencies that require reliable power solutions for critical services but lack the internal resources to effectively plan and fund a comprehensive microgrid project.
Our expertise extends to:
- Cities and towns
- County governments
- Public works departments
- Water & wastewater utilities
- Emergency management departments
- Police, fire, and 911 dispatch facilities
- Community shelters and emergency operations centers
If your community is vulnerable to:
- Hurricanes, storms, floods, or heat events
- Aging electrical infrastructure
- Long utility outages
- Limited backup generation capacity
We assist you in developing a practical, step-by-step microgrid planning strategy that aligns with your budget, timeline, and regulatory requirements while ensuring resilient power solutions.
The Problem
Most municipalities understand the importance of resilient power solutions — but turning that awareness into a tangible project is where they often encounter obstacles.
Common challenges we see in municipal energy services include:
Limited Staff Capacity
Public works and utilities teams are already stretched thin and don’t have the bandwidth to manage complex energy studies and vendor coordination related to microgrid planning.
Unclear Project Scope
Many cities recognize the need for backup power but lack a defined microgrid concept, site selection, and system sizing, which are essential for a successful power system.
Funding Confusion
While federal and state programs exist to support energy initiatives, it can be challenging to determine which ones apply and what documentation is necessary to qualify.
Vendor-Driven Planning
Equipment vendors frequently propose predefined solutions that may not be tailored to your actual loads or long-term costs, hindering effective microgrid planning.
Lack of a Clear Roadmap
Without a structured action plan, municipalities remain stuck in “discussion mode” for years, making no progress toward implementing resilient power solutions.
Our role is to eliminate this confusion and provide you with a clear, independent, and actionable path forward.
Our Solution
We provide independent, vendor-neutral microgrid planning for municipalities, focusing on resilient power solutions that enhance municipal energy services.
We do not sell equipment—no solar, batteries, or generators.
Our role is simple:
- Identify the right facilities
- Define the right system size
- Estimate realistic costs
- Map viable funding options
- Create a clear path to execution
Microgrid Readiness Package
Designed to take projects from idea to a defined scope, leading to a fundable opportunity in the realm of microgrid planning.
Includes:
- Critical Facility Assessment
Review of 1–3 priority sites (e.g., water/wastewater, 911, police/fire, shelters)
- Load & Critical Power Analysis
Utility history and outage-condition load requirements
- Conceptual Microgrid Design
Engineer-level concept including energy sources, sizing (kW/kWh), and one-line diagrams
- Preliminary Cost Estimates
Budget-level capital and operating cost ranges suitable for grants and planning
Optional Follow-On Support:
- Grant and funding application assistance
- RFP and procurement development
- Owner’s representative during bidding
- Vendor evaluation support
