Tradition Senior Living Customer Success Story

The client was a senior living facility looking for electrical reliability in an area along the Gulf Coast that is vulnerable to extreme weather events.
The client wanted a full-facility backup power system that would execute seamlessly during power outages, as opposed to partial power that only provides critical emergency function. This would allow them to continue to provide the same level of comfort and safety their residents are accustomed to and give them the ability to shelter in place in the event of weather-related emergencies.
Project Overview
Project Size: 3.6 MW
Sites: 3
Project Description
The senior care facility is located along the hurricane-prone gulf coast in Houston, Texas. Houston has been subject to many catastrophic weather events in the last few years, in addition to hurricanes. This site required power that would be used to provide life safety to residents in the event of any weather-related emergency.
ERock provided electrical backup service for the entire campus. Through their Resiliency-as-a-Service option, this campus will be able to operate normally during power outages and prevent the need for dangerous evacuations of the elderly residents. The backup power solution will supply the entire facility with full power, ranging from HVAC to being able to turn on their closet lights, preventing any disruption to their day-to-day life.
ERock will provide full backup for one of the Houston locations. The system will be operated and maintained by ERock for the life of the agreement, relieving the client of any O&M responsibility. This will allow them to focus on their core business – the well-being of its residents.
The initial project took 10 months from deal close to COD.
The solution matches diesel generators in performance and footprint, while offering greater reliability with N+1 redundancy, a secure underground natural gas supply and a significantly cleaner, quieter operation.

Standard Meat Success Story

“Following the accident, we were told that there was no estimated time for when the utility power would be reconnected. However, our facility was able to continue operating for what ended up being over 12 hours, avoiding tremendous lost revenue from production alone, in addition to any potential spoilage costs.”

TEXAS A&M Rellis Campus Success Story

“As we continue development of the RELLIS Campus to serve the educational, research and training needs of the State of Texas, the need for backup electrical power was an integral step,” said Kevin McGinnis, A&M System Executive Director of Risk Management & Benefits Administration. “Through partnering with ERock, the A&M System was able to obtain this backup capacity with minimal capital outlay compared to financing its own generation system.”

H-E-B Customer Success Story

“H-E-B Houston area stores had experienced intermittent power outages, according to George Presses, H-E-B vice president of fuel and energy. Presses felt the store needed a reliable backup power system that would keep them up and running “without any interruption to our partners, customers, or communities due to a weather event or a general, short term grid outage.”
