How a White Pine Microgrid Resiliency and Savings Agreement Works

The White Pine Microgrid Resiliency and Savings Agreement (MRSA) is a long-term services contract. White Pine deploys and operates a microgrid at your place of business, providing increased electrical reliability and long-term utility bill savings.

Reliability and Savings at No Cost

White Pine covers 100% of the cost of microgrid development and construction. We also assume all expenses for maintaining and operating the microgrid over time. As a performance-based services contract, the MRSA providers reliability and savings to you without burdening your balance sheet.

An Integrated Solution

White Pine is your long-term partner in smart energy management. Our team oversees the entire process from start to finish to ensure our microgrid solution meets and exceeds your expectations. Delivering all MRSA services in a complete package results in a seamless customer experience.

Our Microgrid Resiliency and Savings Agreement incentivizes White Pine to keep your power running through utility outages and brownouts and maximizes your savings, because we don’t get paid unless your lights stay on. We work around the clock to ensure your microgrid is primed and ready to keep the lights on and industrial processes running when a grid outage occurs.

Benefits of Microgrid Resiliency and Savings Agreement

Ensure Business Continuity

The microgrid uses back up power generating equipment and/or a battery to automatically provide backup power to critical loads during a utility outage.

This guarantees that you can keep your business going even when the lights go out.

Improve your Bottom Line

The White Pine Microgrid Resiliency and Savings Agreements helps our customers:

  • Keep their business running when the utility’s power goes out
  • Reduce electricity costs and hedge against future rate increases
  • Earn revenue from battery services to the grid
  • Free up capital for investments in their core business

Eliminate Peak Demand Charges

The battery helps businesses shave peak demand to avoid costly demand charges, which can make up as much as 50% of commercial utility bills. The example below shows an battery with a daily discharge process that eliminates peak demand charges to reduce monthly demand charges by 60%.

Energy Storage Operation

The battery discharges during the middle of the day to mitigate a load spike and reduce demand charges. During the evening on peak period, the battery discharges again to reduce on peak energy and demand charges.
