Microgrids and Resiliency

Fully integrated distributed energy solutions to help businesses, asset managers and utility operators control their costs and minimize their environmental impact. Expert engineers design every energy system in-house — from autonomous microgrids to emergency backup power to end-to-end energy efficiency improvements. 


microgrids

Advanced microgrid systems designed to deliver continuous and redundant power generation — even during blackouts and other grid disruptions. Through our partnership with PowerSecure, a part of the Southern Company, NRTC can offer microgrid solutions that integrate seamlessly with the existing electricity network, which autonomously generate and store energy so that you can continue powering your operations. Equally important, they are source-agnostic, allowing you to balance your energy mix for increased redundancy and resiliency.

An electric utility’s commercial and industrial (C&I) members represent an important part of their load profile. Through PowerSecure, NRTC can help our co-op members provide tangible demand management to these valuable members — leveraging back-up generation to meet back-up power requirements and avoid high-cost power and demand charges. Best of all, it does so by leveraging assets the C&I member already has in place.

Show of Pause: BEAD and Other Grant Programs at the Center of Battles

There has been a passionate political battle as the Trump Administration ordered a temporary pause in spending on several federal grant programs, including NTIA’s BEAD program. Opponents of the action quickly filed suit, and the administration rescinded the policy after the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia issued a stay. But some review of funding programs is almost certainly coming weeks and months ahead, and recent events have shed some light on possible BEAD reforms.
