How Site Energy Works
📌

What is site energy?

You’re probably already familiar with site energy, which is the amount of heat and electricity consumed by a building as reflected in your utility bills. Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time.

📌

Why is site energy important?

Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time. Site energy may be delivered to a building in one of two forms: primary or secondary energy. Primary energy is the raw fuel that is burned to create heat and electricity, such as natural gas or fuel oil used in onsite generation.

📌

What is on-site energy & how does it work?

On-site generation reduces these risks by producing energy directly at the facility, lowering transmission losses and offering the flexibility to operate in tandem with or independently from the grid. What’s Driving The Shift To On-Site Energy? There are several factors contributing to the widespread adoption of distributed generation, including:

📌

What are the benefits of on-site energy?

Cost Savings: On-site energy can lead to significant cost savings for businesses and organizations, thanks to renewable energy and reduced transmission losses that occur when electricity travels over long distances.

📌

What is on-site power generation & why is it important?

On-site power generation is becoming a core strategy for large energy users to manage rising capacity costs, protect against outages, and advance sustainability initiatives. Whether through solar, CHP, batteries, or a hybrid approach, businesses have more tools than ever to take control of their energy future.

📌

Why should a business generate power on-site?

Generating power on-site can help end users lock in more predictable long-term operating expenses. Extreme weather events, equipment failures, and cyberattacks have all led to high-profile blackouts in recent years. On-site generation gives businesses a safeguard against outages that can halt operations and cost millions.
