Exergy Energy operates in the United States and Canada. The greatest value of Exergy’s services are obtained in the energy deregulated states and provinces. For the United States the most attractive areas are highlighted in blue and blue striped on the following map:
Exergy warrants the following:
1. Generator sized appropriate for customer’s loads.
2. Service and maintenance performed according to manufacturer’s specifications.
3. 24 x 7 monitoring of the equipment.
4. Automatic dispatch of service personnel if a repair is required.
5. Participation in all applicable grid programs approved by customer.
6. All new or zero-hour equipment.
7. Automated Transfer Switch to automatically start generator when there is an outage.
8. Compliance with all utility regulations and emission requirements.
9. Monthly activity reports.
10. Service and maintenance processes and records compliant with NFPA 110, 2014 ASHE, and JACO standards, when appropriate.
11. Exergy will operate the generator for the benefit of the customer.
Exergy warrants that the savings estimates are based on industry best practices, our best understanding of the available grid programs, and the load information provided by the customer. Exergy does not guarantee any specific dollar savings for loads under 50 MW. For loads above 50 MW, savings guarantees are contained in a separate negotiated contract.
Specific dollar savings cannot be guaranteed since the pricing of grid programs is determined by the public utility commission (PUC), federal regulations, and through open market auctions. While reasonable estimates and expectations are possible, exact values are unattainable.
The profit generated from participation in grid services, such as demand response, is inherently uncertain because it is based on the market price of energy at any specific time. Savings estimates provided are based on our best knowledge of market dynamics, historical data, and forward market curves.
Yes! Exergy installs or contracts sufficient solar and wind resources to generate the same number of kWhs as your facility consumes. In this way, your facility becomes a 100% renewable energy consumer.
No. Your operation remains connected to the grid. Exergy only “takes you off grid” (island mode) if the grid goes down, in which case our resiliency solutions power your operations.
Your operations will not change with Exergy; you won’t even know Exergy is there.
But you may notice our presence when the grid fails and your operations continue unabated, or perhaps when you receive lower energy bills due to the savings we offer.
Understanding the cost of renewable electricity can be confusing, and some folks have convoluted ways to calculate its all-in costs.
But here is the indisputable fact: the ‘fuel’ (sun and wind) for renewables are free. So the total delivered cost of energy is due to the one-time installation costs (which continue to fall), and the operation and maintenance expenses (which Exergy pays). And here is the really good news: on a cost per kWh-basis, solar and wind are the least expensive energy sources available.
However, since renewables are intermittent, they need to be supported by grid generation. As responsible providers of renewable energy, Exergy also installs a natural gas generator at your facility (and, when appropriate, energy storage). This generator is used to provide your facility with resiliency and to supply the grid with energy services to accommodate the inherent variability of renewable power.
Use of the natural gas generator will be limited to providing resiliency for your operations and to supplying the grid with energy services. Your total annual energy consumption will be supplied by renewable generation provided by Exergy. So, if your operations consume 1.1 GWh of energy per year, Exergy supplies 1.1 GWh of renewable energy!
Nope, that’s Exergy’s responsibility.
At our cost, Exergy provides a turnkey power generation system that supplies 100% renewable energy, resiliency for your Always-On business, and savings from Day 1. Exergy operates and maintains the system so you can focus on running your business.
Your company simply makes fixed monthly payments for Backup-as-a-Service.
Exergy is a Concierge Utility®, so we offer contracts that meet our customers’ needs. Our agreements typically 10 years, but they can range from 5 to 20 years. They are fixed monthly payments with no surprises, so you know exactly how much your services will be.
It depends upon several factors, and we will provide a free budgetary quote upon request. Our customers defray part (or in some cases, all) of their fixed monthly payments by sharing in our profits earned from participation in any available Grid programs.
If Exergy ceases to manage your account for any reason, you still maintain your energy supply contract so there will be no interruption in energy delivery. The backup facility will continue to operate (it’s fully automated) protecting your operations from outages. Since Exergy and its affiliates supply all the capital for your system, there is no risk of capital loss to you.
Capital and time are precious resources that every company must allocate. Given the special knowledge, time, and significant capital required to build, own, operate, maintain, and supply grid services, Exergy is best positioned to provide these services and pass the savings on to you.
No, but we hear that a lot!
Exergy is responding to i) falling renewable generation costs, ii) tax credit (and other) incentives, and iii) grid service programs and price signals provided by the wholesale and retail energy markets.
Some very large organizations (think: Google) already do this themselves using large in-house energy management teams. Exergy is a Concierge Utility® bringing these same services to you.
Exergy’s business model incentivizes you to be as energy efficient as possible.
Energy is Exergy’s business; we have greater resources and capabilities to provide efficiency and resiliency solutions than if you attempted to secure them yourself. With Exergy as your Concierge Utility™ you can feel confident that we are doing everything economically possible to maximize the sustainability of your operations.
Exergy has a stable of capital partners with attractive capital costs and strong interest to finance our projects. We bring the entire capital stack: equity, debt (if necessary), and tax credit financing.
No, Exergy is responding to the programs, incentives, benefits, and market signals provided by the regional transmission operators whose job it is to create a stable energy delivery network at an affordable cost.
