Remove your exposure to combustion fuel cost increases by electrifying your operations.
Electrifying processes and selecting renewable or zero-carbon electricity reduces to your electricity carbon footprint to zero.
Electricity is more precise, controllable, and flexible than combustion fuels, and thus it results in better product quality.
By electrifying your operations, you remove the distractions and costs, such as maintenance, associated with combustion-related energy sources.
PowerForward is a comprehensive program to prepare students for a green and sustainable future, while simultaneously upgrading school infrastructure for a changing environment for no cost, based upon available government grants and incentive programs. This is specifically designed for schools and we work closely with the Department of Energy to provide your with the greatest possible value to your school and students.
What we need to get you a budgetary quote:
• Last 12 months electricity bills (and natural gas bills, if you use natural gas)
• A signed Letter of Authorization (LOA): permits your utility to provide Exergy your organization’s hourly interval data – This lets us determine the profile of your electricity demand so we can install a generator sized to your operation. Please contact us and we will provide you with the LOA specific to your location.
• General information about your electrical loads, including planned expansions, efficiency upgrades, etc.
