The Brains Behind Efficient, Future-Ready Power
Whether you’re adapting now or planning ahead, your power system needs to flex with your strategy. That’s where an energy control system comes in. Like the smart thermostat in your home that automatically balances comfort and efficiency as conditions change, controls act as the decision-maker for your power setup — from individual assets to entire sites. The result: a coordinated system that continuously adjusts to meet your cost, carbon and reliability goals.

Reliability Is An Inside Job
Maintaining reliable power is getting more complex. Aging infrastructure, rising demand and frequent severe weather all contribute to a less stable grid. Add the growing use of solar and wind - valuable resources, but inherently intermittent - and many organizations now depend on gensets to bridge capacity gaps and keep operations steady. And now, because of all these changes, gensets are running far more often than expected. Equipment once thought to start up once a year is now being called upon to run four or five times annually - a trend that continues to rise as grid instability grows.

Is Your CHP Project At Risk Of Delay?
If you aren’t familiar with combined heat and power (CHP) systems, they’re energy solutions that utilize a natural gas generator set as their core component. The heat generated by these sets is then captured and repurposed to provide heating or hot water for buildings.

Distributed Generation: The Fast Path To Grid Resilience
Global energy demand is accelerating, driven by data center growth, industrial electrification and the rising adoption of electric vehicles. But while consumption rises, grid capacity is struggling to keep up. Utilities are caught between challenging sustainability goals and real-world bottlenecks: aging infrastructure, permitting delays and renewable intermittency. The question isn’t if we need more flexible power. It’s how quickly can we bring it online?

Waste You’ll Want to Hold Onto: Biogas and Its Benefits
As more people turn to biogas, demand isn’t just growing - it’s thriving. Capital investment jumped 40% between 2023 and 2024, according to the American Biogas Council, and close to 2,500 U.S. facilities are now capturing and using biogas. Nearly half are at wastewater treatment plants and close to a quarter at landfills.
