RPower Solutions for Warehousing and Distribution
RPower’s Resilience-as-a-Service (RaaS) program offers a complete solution, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of a high quality, onsite microgrid.
This ensures resilience for your warehousing and distribution operations. When not in use for backup power, the microgrid supports the local utility grid, helping to prevent blackouts during peak demand.
We empower warehousing and distribution businesses to maintain seamless operations and reduce energy costs through our innovative Resilience-as-a-Service (RaaS) and Energy Management Solutions.
Why Choose a Resiliency Solution?
RPower’s Resilience-as-a-Service (RaaS) provides a complete, turnkey solution for warehousing and distribution operations, offered as a convenient, monthly subscription.
Revenues generated from these services offset the cost of your backup power system, giving you the lowest standby generation cost on the market.
Choosing an energy resilience solution helps control energy expenses and provides protection from outages or disruptions due to weather or other risks, while also taking advantage of cost benefits for supporting the local community and the integration of more renewable resources to the electric grid.

Demand Response from RPower in 4 Simple Steps
The goal with a demand response program is to reduce stress on the grid during times of peak demand, maximize your compensation, and enhance grid reliability for the entire community.
Businesses partner with RPower to reduce energy consumption during periods of high grid demand.
Should the electric grid stability be jeopardized due to extreme weather or other extreme operating circumstances, RPower provides real-time guidance to our customer to reduce energy load consumption.
Customers make the recommended adjustments to reduce energy usage. In many cases, we can even automate the customer’s participation.
The customer is compensated with savings or reimbursements for helping support the local electric grid.
Coincident Peak Avoidance
Coincident Peak Avoidance helps reduce energy costs by managing and shifting power usage during peak demand times. By implementing this strategy, businesses can achieve significant savings on their utility bills while optimizing energy efficiency.
What Are Coincident Peak (CP) Charges?
Coincident peak (CP) charges significantly impact energy bills during high-demand periods. RPower’s energy monitoring and management services help warehousing and distribution businesses save by strategically reducing load and conserving energy during these peak times.
When Do Coincident Peak (CP) Charges Happen?
Coincident peak charges, often highest in summer, vary by state. In Texas, peak demand occurs from June to September. During these months, RPower forecasts CP events and manages load for warehousing and distribution businesses through curtailment or onsite generation to reduce demand.
What Factors Impact CP Charges and Savings?
The extent of potential savings depends on a few variables that differ from company to company, including:
Energy Dispatch and Energy Market Operations
The RPower Market Operations Center manages the interaction between the grid operator, utilities, and our managed resources (i.e. generation and storage assets). Our operators are trained to handle all aspects of Day-Ahead, Hour-Ahead, Real-Time Market, Scheduling and resource dispatch and recall.
Economic Energy Dispatch
Resources that can respond to real-time market signals and dispatch can take advantage of wholesale energy market participation. Thus, creating revenue can be realized as energy savings or as a standalone revenue stream. Each resource is unique and the RPower team will analyze and recommend the best strategy and operating parameters for your resource.
Ancillary Energy Management Services
Ancillary services maintain grid stability and address issues like unplanned outages. RPower, an ERCOT Level Four Qualified Scheduling Entity, uses advanced technology and experienced operators to manage these services.
Grid Operator and Utility Settlements
Energy market participation has several aspects that need to be properly covered. The enrollment and dispatch of a resource is just the beginning. RPower staff oversees the reconciliation and settlement of resources as they participate in energy market programs and services.
24/7 Real-Time Desk and Scheduling
The RPower ‘MOC’ is staffed to handle all aspects of energy market participation. Daily power scheduling, demand response, ancillary, and economic dispatch are at the core of our teams’ ability.
Regulation services or AGC
Ideally suited for generation, storage or controllable loads that respond in seconds to signals from the grid operator or utility.
Non-spinning reserves and ECRS
Generation, storage or controllable loads than can respond in between 10-30 minutes providing protection against unplanned generation and transmission outages.
