Facility Electrification Upgrades

Organizations that want to reduce their carbon footprint will eventually electrify their operations and convert processes that use fossil fuels to electricity. On the surface this sounds easy – Simply replace the natural gas steam boiler with an electric steam boiler, or gas furnace with an electric furnace. Ignoring the potential cost differences between the equipment and operating expenses, electrification poses significant challenges to the facility’s infrastructure. 

For instance, your organization’s “heat load” can be substantially larger than your electric load. Therefore, converting that heat load to electricity will often double or triple your electrical load. To accommodate this change requires a significant upgrade to your electrical service equipment and interconnection to the grid. While not technically complicated, it can be extremely expensive and take a long time since the electric utility may not be able to supply the power for a few years. 

Exergy will take full responsibility for your electrification, including providing all the equipment, engineering, and installation at no upfront cost. We provide you with the electricity you need as a service. Unfortunately, this is not enough if the grid cannot provide the additional power you require. In that case, Exergy will provide onsite, continuous power either as a rental or as an alternative to the grid. Rather than paying and waiting for your utility, you could be up and running faster and at lower cost with onsite electrical generation.
