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.

Proof Stack
Built for industrial uptime
Redundancy-driven design philosophy, defined Point of Delivery, and contractual performance terms aligned to real operating risk.
Cost and rate insulation
Behind-the-meter supply can reduce exposure to congestion-driven volatility and local rate impacts tied to new large loads.
Transparent boundary and metering
Revenue-grade metering at the POD and clear responsibility split reduce billing disputes and integration friction.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Process + Timeline
Share MW need, site constraints, and target go-live. We confirm fit and the critical schedule drivers.
Align on POD boundary, electrical approach, and load profile requirements.
Confirm permitting path and interconnect scope assumptions that affect schedule and cost.
Issue term sheet and capacity reservation with defined milestones and credit expectations.
Finalize engineering, long-lead procurement, and commissioning plan tied to performance testing.
Build, commission, and operate to the contracted SLA with defined reporting and maintenance planning.
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.
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.
Utilities prioritize system-wide restoration. Our approach is to put dedicated generation on-site and define responsibilities and restoration procedures at the POD.
We structure performance around the operational reality that even brief interruptions can drive scrap, rework, safety events, equipment stress, and missed deliveries.
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.
The POD is the contractual and technical demarcation. Metering, protection responsibilities, and operating protocols are defined there.
We engineer the interface for industrial loads with appropriate MV design, protection coordination, and operating procedures aligned to equipment sensitivity.
We align generation blocks and operating protocols to your ramp behavior and duty cycle, including start, step load, and steady-state expectations.
Revenue-grade metering at the POD and transparent settlement rules reduce invoice friction.
Planned maintenance windows, notice periods, and outage classifications are agreed up front and aligned to your production schedule.
Curtailment rights, deemed energy or deemed capacity where applicable, and settlement rules are defined contractually.
Pricing can be fixed, indexed, capped, or hedged depending on how you want to allocate fuel and basis risk.
Credit support is defined and proportional to exposure, using structures familiar to industrial procurement teams.
Capacity is structured in blocks so you can match commitments to real expansion timing and avoid overbuying early.
CHP is optional and pursued only when your thermal profile and utilization economics justify incremental equipment and integration complexity.
Steam and hot water interfaces are engineered to your required conditions, including duty cycle assumptions and safety protocols.
Permitting scope, monitoring, and reporting are planned early. Compliance responsibilities are defined to avoid late-stage surprises.
Noise, traffic, and site impact planning are part of early development so stakeholder issues do not become late-stage blockers.
Restoration procedures are defined, and black start capability can be included to support controlled restart after major events.
Commissioning is executed against a defined test plan with operator training, procedures, and readiness checklists before commercial operation.
A critical spares strategy and service response expectations reduce downtime exposure from long lead replacements.
Safety procedures, access controls, and emergency response coordination are defined at the facility interface.
Operating logs, metering data, and SLA reporting support audits, invoice reconciliation, and internal governance.
Optional cyber-isolated control architectures with segmentation and hardened interfaces can be tailored to customer requirements.
Site utility requirements are identified early and incorporated into the execution plan so they do not become hidden schedule drivers.
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.
Smartland Energy develops dedicated behind-the-meter natural gas power for large industrial operations that need predictable cost and higher reliability when grid timelines and restoration performance cannot support production risk. Our core offering focuses on 100 MW to 200 MW projects with optional CHP integration and optional cyber-isolated control architectures, tailored to site requirements.
