Project Experience

The modular microgrid that Scale designed for Bowery is a game-changing behind the meter system that utilizes a combination of photovoltaic solar panels, lithium ion batteries, and a natural gas generator outfitted with advanced emissions control technology.

By reducing land and water use, Fifth Season is sowing the seeds toward a more sustainable food system. Compared to typical agriculture, they use 97% less land and 95% less water. Their microgrid will save almost 1 million pounds of CO2 emissions per year.

The microgrid at Harborside is expected to provide enough clean renewable energy to offset up to 100% of the their current power consumption at the Salinas Campus. It will immediately lower operating costs, with an estimated cumulative net energy savings of more than $11.8 million over a 20 year period. It's also expected to allow Harborside to avoid purchasing carbon offset credits, which would otherwise be required by CA regulations beginning on January 1, 2023. This is expected to be the largest renewable energy project in the US cannabis industry.

Scale's Microgrid

Scale's Microgrid

Microgrids can power a greater percentage of a facility’s critical infrastructure in a more cost effective manner by utilizing multiple distributed energy resources.

Generate additional savings by operating in blue-sky conditions to turn your cost center into a profit center.

Scale owns, operates, and maintains the equipment, allowing you to focus on delivering core services.

Scale can utilize renewable energy during outages to reduce fuel costs and toxic emissions.

vs. Backup Diesel Generators

vs. Backup Diesel Generators

Backup diesel generators are typically sized to back up only critical loads.

Only used in emergency scenarios. Upfront and ongoing costs accrue over time.

Diesel generators require frequent maintenance and fail often.

Releases harmful emissions which reduce air quality and contribute to climate change.
