Enhancing Energy Security
The Importance of Energy Security
Over the last decade, the importance of energy security has reached critical levels and has resulted in attempts to reduce the vulnerability of the grid to natural disasters, cyber attacks, or acts of terrorism. For mission-critical facilities that must be able to operate 24/7 during times of crisis, the risk of a catastrophic grid outage resulting from one of these vulnerabilities may be unacceptably high. The most typical approach, backup generation, on its own may not do enough to reduce the risk for mission-critical facilities, especially if the backup generators require fuel delivered from off-site.
As a leader in energy engineering and construction, CEG helps building owners and managers enhance the energy security of their buildings and campuses. We analyze existing building systems and vulnerabilities, and design and implement turnkey solutions that address demand-side and supply-side security challenges. We guarantee performance and leverage creative project financing to deliver comprehensive projects that meet sustainability and resilience goals.
CEG Approach
CEG offers a comprehensive and effective approach that addresses both the supply- and demand-side of a facility’s energy security vulnerabilities.
Demand-Side Solutions
CEG will help your facility reduce the amount of grid electricity it requires through energy efficiency retrofit solutions. We will do so in a way that preserves the site’s ability to perform mission-critical functions.
Supply-Side Solutions
CEG will first identify additional backup power supplies that can be used by mission-critical components of your facility. We then look to increase distributed renewable generation so that the energy source is as close as possible to the end user, minimizing transmission loss and vulnerability. By maximizing the amount of on-site renewable energy harvested by the facility, our solutions seek to further decrease your dependence on off-site energy.
Critical Solutions in an Uncertain World
CEG can provide the following services to enhance energy security at your facility:
Backup power for mission-critical facilities
Integration of sustainable energy resources
