On-site generation allows customers to increase energy independence, manage risk, reduce energy costs and avoid costly problems that may result from the loss of utility. CEPS offers customers on-site generation options for reliable stand-by service, economic load shaving and load shaping and energy efficient cogeneration

• Reliability Through Standby Generation: Electrical interruptions and fluctuations strike at the core of your operations. With standby generation service, you have a backup source of electricity that provides reliable service at a moment’s notice. Standby generation can be started as soon as power goes out or when your local utility requests an interruption, eliminating production stops and lost profits.


• Energy Efficient Cogeneration: Cogeneration is an energy efficient option for customers who need an on-site source for both electricity and heat energy. The cogeneration process captures the heat normally lost to the atmosphere in typical power plants and utilizes it in the form of steam, hot water and/or hot air for your facility or operations. By capturing that heat, rather than having us use energy to generate heat at your facility, cogeneration is significantly more efficient than electricity-only generating sources.


• Economic Load Shaving and Load Shaping: If your facility carries its heaviest electric load during the daytime hours, peak generation could be a valuable option for you. Peak generation, also known as peak shaving, works well for companies that require high loads during times of peak energy pricing (usually between the hours of 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.). The automated peak generation system operates during those hours, reducing or eliminating the need for expensive on-peak energy from your local utility.


• Managing Risk: In today’s complex electricity market, smart customers turn to distributed resources or on-site generation as a financial management tool. Installation of on-site generation, or automated dispatching of existing resources, can help you maximize energy savings and reduce the impact of high prices on your operations. We can also manage this process for customers who do not have the time to watch over generation assets, facility profiles and the energy market, to help them use their distributed resources as another option for flexible, cost-effective energy.


• Additional Benefits of On-site generation:
  • Improving power quality
  • Preventing interruption
  • Protecting your equipment from damage during electrical service outages
  • Increasing the life and decreasing the maintenance of your equipment
  • Integrating your present equipment with the new system to increase capacity for your business
  • Better controlling your energy costs.
