Dedicated behind-the-meter power for large industrial loads
Dedicated 100 MW to 200 MW on-site power supply built for uptime-sensitive operations
Electricity demand is rising sharply in constrained regions, driven in part by AI related data center growth, and some jurisdictions are seeing local rate increases tied to new large loads. At the same time, outages and unpredictable restoration create real downtime risk for manufacturers and heavy industry. Behind the meter power puts dedicated generation on site so critical loads can ride through grid disturbances, curtailments, and congestion events, with maintenance planned around your schedule.
Target delivery: Target delivery: power online approximately 24 months after Notice to Proceed, subject to permitting, interconnect scope, and final engineering.
Core operating principle: Power generation must equal demand.

Who is this for
This is a fit when downtime is expensive, utility timelines are too slow, or rate and congestion volatility is becoming operationally material.
- Manufacturing lines where even brief interruptions create lost production, scrap, equipment stress, safety exposure, and missed delivery commitments
- Plants facing unpredictable restoration times after grid events and limited utility control over local uptime
- Sites expanding electrified process loads, new lines, or campus-scale capacity in constrained regions
- Operators seeking a clear boundary at the POD with accountable performance terms and transparent settlement
- Facilities with stable thermal demand where CHP can lower total energy cost
- Operators that want maintenance planned around production, not utility schedules
What you get
1 Dedicated supply built to your operating profile
Capacity is structured around your load shape, ramp behavior, and critical load requirements. Delivery is defined at a POD with metering, performance definitions, and clear responsibilities.
2 Commercial predictability
We structure terms to match industrial procurement preferences. Examples include fixed energy, indexed fuel pass-through with caps or collars, capacity reservation plus energy, and tolling-style structures where you want dispatch influence.
3 Integration-first engineering
We align early on voltage, protection, fault duty, and interface requirements so the project integrates cleanly with your facility distribution and critical systems.
4 Execution discipline
Permitting gates, interconnect scope, and procurement lead times are addressed early. Milestones and schedule drivers are made visible so you can plan expansion with confidence.
Note: Availability guarantees, planned maintenance windows, exclusions, and remedies are defined in the offtake agreement to match your risk profile and facility architecture.

Common questions (Industrial)
Below are the most common questions from industrial procurement, engineering, and finance teams. Each answer is framed around the specific problem it solves.
We solve utility timeline risk
Grid upgrades can take years. Behind-the-meter delivery reduces dependency on long transmission and substation upgrade cycles. Schedule is driven by permitting, interconnect scope, and equipment lead times surfaced early.
We solve outage and restoration exposure
Utilities prioritize system-wide restoration. Our approach is to put dedicated generation on-site and define responsibilities and restoration procedures at the POD.
We solve production downtime cost
We structure performance around the operational reality that even brief interruptions can drive scrap, rework, safety events, equipment stress, and missed deliveries.
We solve rate and congestion volatility
AI-driven data center growth is increasing demand sharply in parts of the grid. Some jurisdictions have seen local rate increases connected to new loads. Behind-the-meter supply can reduce exposure to those dynamics.
We solve unclear boundaries
The POD is the contractual and technical demarcation. Metering, protection responsibilities, and operating protocols are defined there.
We solve power quality concerns
We engineer the interface for industrial loads with appropriate MV design, protection coordination, and operating procedures aligned to equipment sensitivity.
We solve ramping and load swing needs
We align generation blocks and operating protocols to your ramp behavior and duty cycle, including start, step load, and steady-state expectations.
We solve billing disputes
Revenue-grade metering at the POD and transparent settlement rules reduce invoice friction.
We solve planned maintenance conflict
Planned maintenance windows, notice periods, and outage classifications are agreed up front and aligned to your production schedule.
We solve curtailment and availability ambiguity
Curtailment rights, deemed energy or deemed capacity where applicable, and settlement rules are defined contractually.
We solve fuel price risk
Pricing can be fixed, indexed, capped, or hedged depending on how you want to allocate fuel and basis risk.
We solve credit and contract friction
Credit support is defined and proportional to exposure, using structures familiar to industrial procurement teams.
We solve expansion uncertainty
Capacity is structured in blocks so you can match commitments to real expansion timing and avoid overbuying early.
We solve CHP decision uncertainty
CHP is optional and pursued only when your thermal profile and utilization economics justify incremental equipment and integration complexity.
We solve thermal integration risk
Steam and hot water interfaces are engineered to your required conditions, including duty cycle assumptions and safety protocols.
We solve environmental compliance planning gaps
Permitting scope, monitoring, and reporting are planned early. Compliance responsibilities are defined to avoid late-stage surprises.
We solve community and stakeholder risk
Noise, traffic, and site impact planning are part of early development so stakeholder issues do not become late-stage blockers.
We solve black start and restoration ambiguity
Restoration procedures are defined, and black start capability can be included to support controlled restart after major events.
We solve operational readiness risk
Commissioning is executed against a defined test plan with operator training, procedures, and readiness checklists before commercial operation.
We solve long lead parts delays
A critical spares strategy and service response expectations reduce downtime exposure from long lead replacements.
We solve interface safety concerns
Safety procedures, access controls, and emergency response coordination are defined at the facility interface.
We solve data and reporting needs
Operating logs, metering data, and SLA reporting support audits, invoice reconciliation, and internal governance.
We solve OT security requirements
Optional cyber-isolated control architectures with segmentation and hardened interfaces can be tailored to customer requirements.
We solve site utility planning
Site utility requirements are identified early and incorporated into the execution plan so they do not become hidden schedule drivers.
We solve diligence friction
We provide a clear POD boundary definition, metering approach, integration assumptions, fuel and pricing framework, permitting path, and milestone plan suitable for procurement and investment committees.
