In the face of increasing climate-related weather events, businesses are experiencing an increased and urgent need for environmentally conscious and resilient energy systems. Facilities grapple with a plethora of pressing challenges beyond the need to switch to more environmentally sustainable business practices. From a business operations perspective, companies are also grappling with a pressing need for increased energy resilience to ensure uninterrupted operations and protect against revenue loss. Further, the cost to stay powered by the utility is steadily climbing the more unreliable the utility's power supply gets. While increasing resilience is key, rising energy prices have motivated companies to seek energy independence by installing systems that provide both increased resiliency and more affordable power at their sites. Distributed generation holds the answer to the energy resilience piece of the equation by reducing the reliance on a vulnerable utility-scale power grid. Microgrids, often consisting of solar, battery storage and backup generation, can reduce a facility's reliance on the vulnerable grid, leading to lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact. They provide facilities with the ability to generate, store, and manage their energy, thereby increasing reliability during outages and ensuring continuous operation, even when the main grid is compromised. A microgrid’s benefits are trifold - cleaner, cheaper and more reliable energy. By harnessing the power of these clean energy systems, facilities can not only fortify their resilience against climate change and decrease their overall energy costs, but also contribute to a more sustainable energy future. This triple benefit of sustainability, reliability, and cost savings positions microgrids as a strategic choice for facilities looking to thrive in the face of a changing climate. With an uptick in the volume and scale of legislative policies intended to support clean energy adoption and vehicle electrification to combat climate change, businesses need to adapt or risk obsolescence. This session will illustrate why it is imperative businesses begin the switch to clean and resilient energy today. The session will also explore the latest clean-energy technologies available today, and highlight a roadmap to how energy resilience can be achieved through real-world examples of systems that exist today.
