Go Beyond The Grid

As electricity demand soars, businesses face growing risks: skyrocketing utility rates, power reliability and quality issues, and delays for new capacity. 

Scale’s advanced microgrids combine on-site energy resources, including solar, batteries, and generators, with embedded intelligence that provides resilience against all of these risks. 

‍With turnkey systems designed, operated, and financed by our team of industry-leading experts, Scale simplifies the delivery of benefits such as enhanced reliability and optimized cost savings to businesses ranging from grocery stores to cold storage facilities to steel factories.

Advantages of Scale's Approach

Scale delivers on the core speed-to-power and reliability priorities of data center operators, while also providing opportunities for additional value from the integration of multiple types of distributed energy resources (DERs). 

Growing Electricity Risks

Cold Storage facilities place a premium on electricity reliability and power quality, as disturbances to refrigeration equipment can result in extended downtime, wasted materials, and added costs from follow-on issues like supply chain disruptions.

Solar

Average US outage hours are at the highest level in over a decade, with 80% of those hours caused by increasingly-frequent extreme weather events.

Solar

Cold storage facilities can incur costs of tens or even hundreds of thousand of dollars per hour of downtime – and even losing power for a few seconds can incur major costs as sensitive processes are disrupted, product is lost, and equipment must be recalibrated and restarted.

Solar

Meanwhile, utility rates are soaring, driven largely by fixed transmission and distribution costs that can’t be hedged away by traditional retail suppliers. The shift towards time of use rates and higher demand charges also reduces the value of solar-only installations that can’t shape facility demand.
