Sustainability with Visibility

Empower Energies works closely with customers to determine which scaled renewable generation sources match up best with facility requirements and corporate sustainability objectives, as well as optimal financial structures.

When the answer is solar, or solar as part of an integrated offer, few organizations can offer the same level of experience and expertise.

Working with a select group of strategic partners, Empower Energies develops, designs, builds, owns and finances commercial-scale solar projects, ranging in size from 500kW to 10MW.

The company partners with industry leaders to offer a unique turnkey solution for its customers that is fast, flexible, and technology-agnostic. This enables Empower Energies to provide the most effective solutions as technologies emerge and change, and during the ups and downs of solar-industry supply cycles.

A preferred project provider of General Motors, Empower Energies has honed its position as a first-tier partner for large, multi-site commercial and industrial clients, as well as institutions and government entities. As a Clean Energy Portfolio Solutions provider, the company is ideally positioned to recommend commercial-scale solar installations as part of a customer’s strategic renewable energy mix.

Solar provides meaningful electricity load generation and is also one of the most visible forms of sustainability available, including:

• Ground-Mounted Solar – These functional arrays provide both visibility and payback.
• Roof-Mounted Solar – These arrays provide visibility with good payback in limited real-estate.
• Solar Parking Canopies – These dual-function arrays provide high visibility, shade and weather protection.
• Solar EV Charging Stations – Another dual-function option provides visibility and charging for patrons, employees, or EV sales.

Solar can significantly reduce an organization’s electricity costs while locking in rates for the long-term. These distributed generation sources provide clean solar electricity for use directly by the facility on or near which they are installed. Because they can be integrated with the electrical grid, power is provided even when the sun is beyond the horizon.

Installations are low maintenance, emit no pollutants, and provide a clean alternative to fossil fuels. By their very presence, they also visibly communicate an organization’s commitment to renewable-energy solutions.

Contact Empower Energies today to learn how you can:

• Produce some of your own solar energy to power your facilities for 25+ years,
• Enhance overall organizational profitability,
• Provide a significant hedge against rising utility rates,
• Increase your organization’s energy independence,
• Reduce CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions,
• Motivate employees and other corporate stakeholders,
• Garner the attention of local media, and
• Promote customer loyalty and goodwill in your local community.

And while you’re at it, ask about how Empower Energies can potentially add other commercial-scale renewables to your portfolio for an even greater impact to your bottom line.

Efficiencies of 85% Or More

As the value of a balanced energy portfolio increases, more and more organizations are looking to their grounds and facilities as viable locations for distributed renewable energy generation. Empower Energies works closely with those organizations to determine which on-site, clean generation sources match up best with their business requirements, sustainability objectives, and financial structures.

When the answer is cogeneration, or cogeneration as part of an integrated offer, few organizations can offer Empower Energies’ level of experience and expertise.

Working with a select group of strategic partners, Empower Energies develops, designs, builds, owns, and finances Combined Heat and Power (CHP) projects, ranging in size from 250kW to 10MW.

The company partners with industry leaders to offer a unique turnkey solution for customers that is fast, flexible, and technology-agnostic. This enables Empower Energies to provide the most effective solutions from an array of technologies and fuel types without significant influence from industry supply cycles.

Cogeneration provides significant saving through the effective utilization of captured waste heat (thermal energy) on-site at a customer’s facility. It provides a clean or renewable energy portfolio option based on an entirely different set of parameters, fuels, and technologies.

Often this provides a portfolio opportunity for a customer, complementing another energy option, such as solar. In its essence, CHP takes advantage of the disparity in the prices of electricity and natural gas, allowing commercial, industrial, and institutional consumers to better control their energy choices. As electricity prices rise, and gas prices remain steady as forecast, Cogeneration becomes an option to strongly consider.

A Combined Heat and Power installation recovers waste heat for:

• Space Heating (Steam or Hot Water Loop)
• Space Cooling (Absorption Chiller)
• Process Heating and/or Cooling
• Dehumidification
• Domestic Hot Water

If you have a consistent year-round heating or cooling load, you are a candidate for a Cogeneration application. CHP can provide at least a portion of your facility’s electrical load by applying a highly-efficient, integrated system with a total efficiency of greater than 85%, compared to conventional generation sources, which top out at about 55%. That is the source of your savings, and they can be significant. They don’t take up a lot of your valuable space, either, and they can be sited inside or outside of your facility.

CHP can be delivered via the technology that makes the most sense for your organization, from a list including: Gas Turbines, Lean Burn Engines, Rich Burn Engines, and eventually even emerging technologies such as Fuel Cells and Micro Turbines. CHP can also be driven by a number of different fuel types, including: Natural Gas, Biogas, and Biomass.

Installations are low maintenance, emit no pollutants, and provide a clean alternative to fossil fuels. And they make a statement about an organization’s commitment to clean and renewable-energy solutions.

• Produce some of your own energy to power your facilities for 15+ years,
• Enhance overall organizational profitability,
• Improve your organization’s energy reliability, power density and utilization factors,
• Provide a long-term hedge against rising utility rates,
• Increase your organization’s energy independence,
• Reduce CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions,
• Motivate employees and other corporate stakeholders,
• Garner the attention of local media, and
• Promote customer loyalty and goodwill in your local community.
