Our work at PowerGas Corporation falls into two main service categories as we work to assist clients with energy management: PowerGas Consulting (PGC) and PowerGas Solutions (PGS).
PowerGas Consulting (PGC) provides energy management advisory services and automated energy management software which delivers actionable data driven results. This information will assist in directing decisions to create and sustain energy cost mitigation and long-term strategic energy value. At PGC, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies couple best in class reporting and data management analytics to promote a platform for long-term facility/portfolio sustainability and resiliency. PGC’s team also offers certified Energy Star® Data Management Scoring and Energy Star® Certifications for facilities requiring this service.
Our Energy Information Suite (EIS) is a cloud-based system that utilizes a facility tree, providing a hierarchy of data at the meter level organization-wide.
The 10 questions below may provide some insight as you determine if the PowerGas Energy Information Suite is the right fit for your organization:
PowerGas Solutions (PGS) provides energy procurement advisory services as well as on-site electric generation and thermal heating and cooling solutions (including microgrid projects). In addition, PGS works with “behind the fence” (i.e., off-grid and/or backup grid) renewable and low carbon generation with heating and cooling solutions from our alliance partners. PowerGas Solutions uses a variety of approaches in securing long-term and cost-effective procurement of energy supply.
PGS offers contract negotiation and energy procurement services. Furthermore, PGS can consult with clients seeking advisory services in acquiring or restructuring electric power and natural gas supply and associated contracts. Being able to offer a comprehensive suite of services allows PowerGas Corporation to serve clients from start to finish.
PowerGas Solutions (PGS) uses a variety of approaches in securing long-term and cost-effective procurement of energy supply. It is important to note that the lowest commodity cost may, in fact, not be the lowest cost solution. Actually, it represents only one measure of overall cost savings and efficiency.
This component of our work involves energy solutions for facilities seeking combined heat and power (CHP) coupled with renewable resources such as solar, battery, and wind—integrating primary “off-grid” alternatives for sourcing electricity, heat and cooling. We Build, Own, Operate, Maintain (BOOM), and may provide 100% financing for projects greater than 5 MW with qualified counterparties. Smaller projects may qualify for 100% financing dependent on certain criteria.
PowerGas Corporation is dedicated to building partnerships with various companies in the energy world so we can provide enhanced services and solutions to our clients. Our clients can be assured that they are gaining access to world-class, on-site energy reliability—at a price generally better than the utility.
Our alliance with Seguro Energy Development LLC allows us to provide clients with access to the best on-site Combined Heath Power (CHP) and Microgrid energy solutions.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a clean approach to generating electric power and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source—thus making it highly efficient. The use of CHP allows a facility to eliminate the need to purchase electricity from the distribution grid and separately burning fuel in an on-site furnace or boil for thermal energy. With CHP, a facility can use heat and power to provide both services in a single, energy-efficient step.
Per the Department of Energy (DOE), CHP is a clean energy solution that directly addresses a number of national priorities. This includes improving the competitiveness of the United States. In March of 2016, the DOE issued a statement that Combined Heat and Power achieves this by:
A microgrid is a localized group of electricity sources and loads that operate connected to and synchronized with the traditional wide-area synchronous grid (macrogrid). Microgrids can also operate in an “island mode”—functioning independently as physical or economic conditions dictate.
Microgrids have the ability to effectively integrate various sources of distributed generation (DG). This is especially true for renewable energy sources (RES). Microgrids can also supply emergency power, as well as enabling the ability to transition between island and connected macrogrid modes.
When it comes to executing the offerings and strategies discussed above, PowerGas Corporation relies on the resources of our partner Seguro Energy Development LLC. Using their management team, equipment partners, and their vast array of experience, our power project strategies focus on large-scale commercial/industrial/governmental projects that seek CHP applications and/or microgrid solutions.
Seguro Energy Development capabilities involve projects using gas-fired reciprocating engines, gas-fired turbines, solar or photovoltaic systems, wind, and battery backup systems. These systems are available in various configurations and are integrated with a singular control system to offer seamless and reliable on-site energy solutions. Seguro Energy Development leverages its strategic alliance with Caterpillar’s Electric Power Group to successfully complete and ensure long-term reliability of power projects.
The projects of Seguro Energy Development LLC primarily range between 5 and 100 MW. Seguro’s customer markets include the following groups:
The technology deployed by Seguro Energy Development can scale to smaller or larger installations as well, depending on type, location, and other factors that must meet their established core criteria.
