Microgrid solutions for Commercial & Industrial

GE’s microgrid solutions can help reducing emissions and decarbonize, lowering energy costs and making those costs more predictable, improving the reliability and reducing the costs of down-time, and developing an effective energy strategy for your application.

What are the challenges commercial & industrial industry is facing?

Energy tariffs and rates continue to rise, and new demand pricing mechanisms continue to impact your facility’s OPEX. As grid resiliency is challenged by the intermittency of renewables, unplanned outages are becoming more frequent. The result: large downtime costs and threats to your productivity. You are still looking for a competitive, cost-effective strategy to help meet your corporate sustainability goals and net-zero targets. While your equipment continues to age, you are constrained by limits on the allocated capital for upgrades. There isn’t enough grid capacity to electrify your site and expand your facility.
