Our Customers
RPower serves customers across North America in a variety of different industries and environments. We’re proud to be the experts they trust to meet their energy and resiliency demands.
Industries We Serve
Grocery and Cold Storage
As large power consumers with ever-increasing temperature controlled products grocery and cold storage facilities are excellent candidates for the resiliency and energy savings that an on-site microgrid can provide. Our team has helped major grocery chains reduce the impact of power outages at hundreds of their stores by installing backup power generation solutions, with many more locations on the way. Be the beacon to the communities you serve during and in the aftermath of major weather events and sustained power outages.
Similarly, food production and distribution operations with critical vulnerabilities to power outages benefit enormously from the resiliency offered by behind-the-meter generation solutions.
Data Centers
As the number of internet-connected devices in the world today mushrooms past 7 billion, and companies incorporate data analytics and digital processing into everything from french fries to baseball, the demand for data centers is stronger than ever. But a power outage at a single center can have a massive ripple effect on thousands or even millions of downstream customers at once.
RPower can help data center owners and operators achieve power system redundancy requirements and accelerate development timelines that are often at the mercy of utility interconnection delays. Reciprocating engine generator sets and gas turbine generators, fueled by natural gas, renewable natural gas, or even hydrogen, combined with other clean energy technologies, are helping data center customers decarbonize their backup power systems. Whether your data center load is less than 1MW or more than 250MW, RPower can help engineer, develop and optimize the right solution to meet your objectives.
Utilities and Critical Infrastructure
The Texas power grid has been under intense scrutiny in the wake of high-profile outages, spotlighting the need for more distributed generation and load resources. Distributed energy resources (DERs) like microgrids help reduce the strain on the grid and make it more reliable for everyone. Microgrids also represent an important tool for owners of public and private infrastructure alike to keep critical services like water treatment facilities, telecommunications sites, airports, and emergency response services running during grid outages.
And as more retail power customers seek green energy solutions and push to electrify everything, microgrids can help utilities solve the intermittency challenges that higher penetrations of renewables and renewables with storage present. As the risk of outages becomes more concentrated to the early evening hours the steeper ramp rates for the generation equipment needed to bridge these gaps are a natural fit for the fast starting and ramping capabilities of engine based microgrid solutions.
Industrial Manufacturing
Industrial Manufacturing Even momentary outages and small fluctuations in the local grid frequency can disrupt today’s sensitive robotics and the industrial electronics used in state-of-the-art manufacturing operations. Disruptions equal downtime and downtime equals losses. No doubt that’s why manufacturers are leading the adoption of microgrids in North America, ensuring their automated, AI-driven, and power-hungry activities never skip a beat.
While some manufacturers have generous amounts of real estate to accommodate future growth and on-site microgrids, many do not. Minimizing the physical size of these systems and leveraging the existing site layout and infrastructure can often be the difference between a project that makes sense and one that doesn’t. Bring our combined experience of thousands of site walks to your project. As energy and distributed generation experts with an unbiased “technology and vendor agnostic” perspective, we are uniquely positioned to help commercial and industrial customers make sense of the jargon and embrace cutting-edge technologies to develop customized solutions for their businesses.
Healthcare
When lives are at risk, you can depend on an RPower resiliency solution. Whether you are a large hospital system or remote acute care facility with critical circuits, the RPower team has the experience and capabilities to help you specify the right on-site emergency power solution to meet NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code, for serving essential energy systems. Our microgrid solutions for healthcare customers deliver the ultimate in reliability and control with at least N+1 system redundancy, fueled by diesel, natural gas or both for additional fuel system redundancy and reliability.
And because human health and environmental health go hand-in-hand, the environmental benefits offered by microgrids make them an obvious fit for facilities where air quality is particularly important.
We’re Ready to Revolutionize Your Industry
No matter the energy demands your business faces, RPower is up for the challenge.
