Building our future is critical, especially for those continuously researching, innovating, and shaping the next big thing. For you, downtime isn’t an option. Powering education facilities requires taking sustainability, economic, and technological factors into consideration. That sounds like a complex mix, but it doesn’t have to be. By taking advantage of Caterpillar’s expertise, experience, and quality, you can take control of your power options, building power systems that are resilient and reliable.
When the utility grid goes out, light-bulb moments don’t have to. Make sure you have constant power and peace of mind with Cat® Electric Power.
Natural gas gensets help you meet emissions goals, producing less NOx, sulphur dioxide, and CO2 than diesel power. They also deliver savings and potential income. Their higher efficiency reduces fuel expenses and total cost of ownership, peak shaving lowers utility rate costs, and participating in capacity markets can bring in additional revenue.
