The electric grid we use today was designed by people who knew how to live without electricity.

“Scale has provided reliable on-site power generation and backup systems to industrial clients for almost a decade and expanding into the data center business was a natural progression” Thank you @reutersevents for covering our work. A lot more to come so stay tuned! reuters.com/business/energy/…

PJM declared a grid emergency in….October. Not July. Not January. October. Over the past year, one of our microgrids in PJM earned $200k+ just by standing by for grid emergencies (and we share that revenue with our customers). Will microgrids save the grid?

Great time to be grid-independent
Forecast peak #electricity usage for Oct. 14 in #PJM region: 113,312 MW at 5 p.m. (Eastern); total scheduled capacity 118,687 MW (data as of 6 a.m.)

PSPS events are getting longer, more frequent, and hitting larger zones. Energy resilience is no longer optional. We’re engineering the next layer of energy infrastructure to keep critical loads online.

Scale is working overtime to build resilient microgrids across California. Large commercial and industrial loads in PG&E should all have behind-the-meter microgrids to help relieve stress on the grid.

Walking around without any streetlights makes you realize how amazing electricity must have been at first just for this simple reason.

Power is out at the Knicks training facility. It went out while Josh Hart was answering a question about a possible extension. Lights went out and he finished the answer in the dark.

Valley Transportation Authority is committed to transitioning their fleet to 100% electric buses by 2036. We’re building them a microgrid that will be lowering their electricity costs by 36%, providing 4+ of backup and lower emissions by 61% @VTA

Fun Fact: Santa Barbara is powered by one 40-mile power line through wildfire, earthquake and landslide terrain. Outages there last 2X longer than the rest of SoCal Edison. That’s why Scale is building a solar + BESS + EV microgrid at Santa Barbara City College to convert it into a Community Resilience Hub that keeps the lights on, phones charger and medical care running when the grid goes down. This is what community-scale energy security looks like.

☀️⚡️BREAKING: Brand new 2.8 MW rooftop solar now live in Pennsylvania and projected to produce an insane 3.5M kWh/year. The best part? Mid-sized distributed solar projects like this one ease pressure on the grid by adding localized generation capacity where it’s needed and per Aurora Energy Research, could save Pennsylvania residents nearly $1 billion in electricity costs over the next decade by cutting wholesale power costs and buffering against natural gas price swings. “Commercial real estate companies have a tremendous opportunity to drive energy affordability and reliability for their tenants and the entire grid,” said Kristel Watson, the head of Scale’s Commercial and Industrial business.

Critical infrastructure should have microgrids.

Meanwhile one of our microgrids in PJM generated a revenue of over $32k with an additional $230K from just being an available resource in the emergency capacity program. So about $262K total from June 25' - May 26' Nobody builds better microgrids than us.
PJM is on the struggle bus.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can. Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment. A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

🔊A 30-second ad during the Big Game costs about $7 million. How much does a 30-second outage cost your business? Here's a sneak peek at our ad for Sunday's game. May the most resilient team win. 🏈 (Sound up!) #microgridsaredope #energyresilience #biggame
