Forget winter wonderland. How about winter horror show?
Snow can be fun until it takes down trees and powerlines. This just happened Tuesday in Pennsylvania. More than 115,000 people were left without power and some are still in the dark as I write this post Thursday afternoon.
The take-away is that power outages happen without warning and are not only inconvenient but downright dangerous. In our effort to decarbonize the economy, we are relying more and more on electricity with heat pumps, EV’s and basically all of the essentials of life. The impact of a loss of power is more devasting than any time in our history.
Climate change is fueling extreme weather conditions that lead to an increase in the number of outages and outages that impact a larger geographic area and longer recovery times. We have achieved nothing as it relates to climate change and the forecast is that weather will continue to get worse for at least the next couple of decades. It is vital that you prepare for increased and longer duration outages. The best way to prepare is with backup power as a service.
