The Diesel Dilemma: Exploring the Operational Risks of Diesel Fuel
The Diesel Dilemma explores the risks, inefficiencies, and hidden costs of relying on diesel-fueled backup power for mission-critical operations, using a 500 MW data center to show how large-scale operations are impacted.
Powering the Digital Age: Propane’s Role in Low-Emission Data Center Infrastructure
Data Centers Can Procure Affordable, Sustainable Energy in Today’s Constrained Power Markets
Data centers are growing at record speed, but outdated solutions like diesel backup and delayed utility-scale generation can’t keep up with AI-driven demand. In this white paper, energy expert Peter Asmus shows how onsite, flexible generation offers a faster, cleaner, and more affordable path forward—one that supports both uptime and the grid. Download now to see why Enchanted Rock’s approach is redefining how data centers secure sustainable, reliable power.
Speed-to-Power Bottlenecks Undermine US AI Dominance & Data Center Revenue
AI needs power. The grid can’t keep up. Flexible capacity offers a scalable solution to data center power bottlenecks.
Cleaner power for California communities: Solving the state’s diesel proliferation problem
California is achieving ambitious clean energy goals, yet diesel generators still support critical infrastructure. Shifting to natural gas can cut pollution, address public health concerns, and strengthen the grid.
Rethinking Load Growth: Assessing the Potential for Integration of Large Flexible Loads in US Power Systems
The Case for Distributed and Dispatchable Capacity on Microgrids
With the imperative to provide sustainable energy increasingly joining the safe, reliable, and affordable mandate, the idea that utilities can provide value-added services beyond just delivering electricity and gas has gained momentum around the United States. Value-added services are broadly defined as a utility’s programmatic offerings to customers outside the traditional business of delivering safe, […]
Reinventing Electrical Resiliency
This paper discusses a variety of risks to electric infrastructure to demonstrate the impact on the current electric system – from equipment failure due to an aging grid, human error, natural disasters, and new threats such as cyberterrorism. It explores how commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations can address electric resiliency challenges through backup power from traditional fuels to the newest technologies. Finally, it compares the different options and discuss the advantages and drawbacks for each option.
The Case for Microgrids at Water and Wastewater Facilities
The availability of clean water is critical to today’s society. With the increasing number of electrical outages from extreme weather and an aging grid, water and wastewater treatment plants are challenged to remain operational 24/7/365 and are turning to microgrids as a diesel alternative for backup power generation.
MGK Special Report | Exploring the Frontier of Utility Value-Added Services
With the imperative to provide sustainable energy increasingly joining the safe, reliable, and affordable mandate, the idea that utilities can provide value-added services beyond just delivering electricity and gas has gained momentum around the United States. Value-added services are broadly defined as a utility’s programmatic offerings to customers outside the traditional business of delivering safe, reliable, and affordable system power and gas.
