Dedicated BTM Power For Large Industrial Loads

Dedicated 100 to 300 MW on-site for robotics and automation factories, advanced manufacturing, and other uptime-sensitive operations. RICE for ramp behavior and rolling maintenance, CCGT for steady baseload. CHP available where beneficial.

Outages, curtailments, and rate volatility translate into real downtime risk for manufacturers. Grid upgrades can take years; dedicated on-site generation targets power online approximately 24 months from Notice to Proceed, so production keeps running and maintenance is planned around your schedule.

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. Decentralized generation built at the load - dedicated, behind-the-meter, and independent of centralized grid expansion - lets critical loads ride through grid disturbances, curtailments, and congestion events, with maintenance planned around your schedule. We size every project to your actual load shape using modular 10 MW RICE units for fast ramp and rolling maintenance, or combined-cycle gas turbines for steady high-efficiency baseload. CHP integration is available where beneficial - particularly meaningful for industrial campuses with stable thermal demand.

Target delivery
Power online approximately 24 months after Notice to Proceed, subject to permitting, interconnect scope, and final engineering. Initial capacity is targeted to come online in Q3 2028.
Core operating principle
On-site generation, battery energy storage, and intelligent control systems work together to continuously balance customer demand while delivering very high reliability, power quality, and operational flexibility.

Proof Stack

Built for industrial uptime

Modular 10 MW RICE redundancy or CCGT-based design philosophy, defined Point of Delivery, and contractual performance terms aligned to real operating risk.

CHP available where beneficial

For industrial loads with stable thermal demand - process steam, hot water, drying, sterilization, district heating - CHP is a direct path to lower total energy cost over the contract life.

Cost and rate insulation

On-site supply can reduce exposure to congestion-driven volatility and local rate impacts tied to new large loads. Revenue-grade metering at the POD and defined settlement rules make every invoice auditable.

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 optional CHP reduces total energy cost over the contract life
  • Operators that want maintenance planned around production, not utility schedules

What You Get

1

Dedicated supply built to your operating profile

Capacity is sized to your load shape, ramp behavior, and critical-load requirements. Modular 10 MW RICE units deliver native N+2 and support rolling maintenance for plants where production cannot pause for plant-wide outages. Combined-cycle gas turbines are used where steady high-efficiency baseload is the better fit. Delivery is defined at a POD with metering, performance definitions, and clear responsibilities.

2

CHP available where beneficial

Where your thermal-load profile supports it, combined heat and power is scoped into the project during development. For industrial campuses with stable thermal demand, CHP is a real economic lever - captured waste heat reduces process fuel cost, lowers total carbon intensity, and improves the marginal economics of the offtake.

3

Commercial predictability

We structure terms to match industrial procurement preferences - fixed energy, indexed fuel pass-through with caps or collars, capacity reservation plus energy, and tolling-style structures where you want dispatch influence.

4

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.

5

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.

Build, commission, and operate to the contracted SLA with defined reporting and maintenance planning.

Common Questions (Industrial)

Strategy, Schedule, & Architecture

Utility timeline risk

Grid upgrades can take years. Dedicated on-site delivery reduces dependency on long transmission and substation upgrade cycles. Schedule is driven by permitting, interconnect scope, and equipment lead times surfaced early.

What about 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.

How we handle 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.

On 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. Dedicated on-site supply can reduce exposure to those dynamics.

The question of modular RICE versus CCGT

We propose architecture against your actual load shape rather than forcing one technology onto every site. Modular 10 MW RICE units fit ramp-heavy duty cycles and plants where rolling maintenance matters. Combined-cycle gas turbines fit steady, high-efficiency baseload. Both can integrate CHP where beneficial.

On 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. Modular RICE topology is particularly suited to swinging loads because individual engines start, sync, and unload faster than large frame turbines.

Operations & Reliability

What about unclear boundaries?

The POD is the contractual and technical demarcation. Metering, protection responsibilities, and operating protocols are defined there.

How we handle power quality concerns

We engineer the interface for industrial loads with appropriate MV design, protection coordination, and operating procedures aligned to equipment sensitivity.

What about planned maintenance conflict?

Planned maintenance windows, notice periods, and outage classifications are agreed up front and aligned to your production schedule. Modular RICE topology supports rolling maintenance - individual engines can be serviced without taking the site offline.

How we handle curtailment and availability ambiguity

Curtailment rights, deemed energy or deemed capacity where applicable, and settlement rules are defined contractually.

How we handle CHP

CHP is available where beneficial, not by default. We evaluate your thermal utilization economics during development; where the numbers support it, combined heat and power is scoped into the project with the permitting path identified up front.

On thermal integration risk

Steam and hot water interfaces are engineered to your required conditions, including duty cycle assumptions and safety protocols.

How we handle black start and restoration ambiguity

Restoration procedures are defined, and black start capability can be included to support controlled restart after major events.

On operational readiness risk

Commissioning is executed against a defined test plan with operator training, procedures, and readiness checklists before commercial operation.

Long-lead parts delays

A critical spares strategy and service response expectations reduce downtime exposure from long lead replacements. Modular RICE engines are smaller, more interchangeable, and faster to replace than large frame turbines.

What about interface safety concerns?

Safety procedures, access controls, and emergency response coordination are defined at the facility interface.

On OT security requirements

Optional cyber-isolated control architectures with segmentation and hardened interfaces can be tailored to customer requirements.

Site utility planning

Site utility requirements are identified early and incorporated into the execution plan so they do not become hidden schedule drivers.

Commercial, Permitting, & Diligence

Billing disputes

Revenue-grade metering at the POD and transparent settlement rules reduce invoice friction.

On fuel price risk

Pricing can be fixed, indexed, capped, or hedged depending on how you want to allocate fuel and basis risk.

Credit and contract friction

Credit support is defined and proportional to exposure, using structures familiar to industrial procurement teams.

What about expansion uncertainty?

Capacity is delivered in modular 10 MW increments so you can match commitments to real expansion timing and avoid overbuying early. Modular RICE makes this especially clean - additional 10 MW units are added as new lines come online.

Environmental compliance planning gaps

Permitting scope, monitoring, and reporting are planned early. Compliance responsibilities are defined to avoid late-stage surprises.

What about community and stakeholder risk?

Noise, traffic, and site impact planning are part of early development so stakeholder issues do not become late-stage blockers. Modern enclosed RICE plants run quieter than equivalent open-frame turbine plants, which materially reduces community-acceptance friction.

How we handle data and reporting needs

Operating logs, metering data, and SLA reporting support audits, invoice reconciliation, and internal governance.

What about 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.
