In recent years, power grid failures have become an increasingly pressing concern for small businesses. With the rise in extreme weather events, aging infrastructure, and growing energy demands, blackouts are not just inconvenient, they can be catastrophic for businesses reliant on consistent power.
Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) modernize energy grids and enhance the stability, efficiency, and sustainability of electricity distribution systems. By aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, battery storage systems, and smart appliances, VPPs offer a flexible and reliable solution for managing energy demand and supply.
1GridPower is pleased to announce a Strategic Advisory Agreement for analytics and advisory support from Distributed Energy Clearinghouse®, a provider of distributed energy analytics and energy management services, for 1GridPower’s planned investments in advanced energy storage systems.
Power outages are becoming more frequent due to extreme weather events and aging infrastructure, and that means having a reliable backup power system is critical.
Small businesses today are grappling with higher energy costs. Rising energy demand, especially during peak hours, leads to increased electricity rates. Aging infrastructure struggles to keep up with modern energy needs, causing inefficiencies and passing higher costs onto consumers.
The Texas power grid has faced significant challenges in recent years. The state's grid, isolated from the rest of the country, is vulnerable to extreme weather events, which can lead to widespread power outages.
