Enchanted Rock’s solutions are designed to help customers overcome these challenges and maintain operations even when grid conditions are strained.
Enchanted Rock Preps Microgrids for Ice Storm with 2021 Lessons
Winter Storm Fern, which caused icy precipitation to fall across much of the country and threatened widespread power outages in January 2026, invited comparisons to 2021’s Winter Storm Uri. In an interview with the Houston Business Journal conducted less than 24 hours before Fern arrived, Enchanted Rock Chief Commercial Officer Allan Schurr outlined steps technicians were taking to ensure readiness, from expediting maintenance needs to advancing some construction work, and reinforced natural gas supply readiness to ensure the fleet was prepared.
Wider view of risk, resiliency needed to thrive in an era that promises uncertainty
Risk management and resilience are becoming more interconnected, requiring facilities teams to coordinate across infrastructure, technology, and operational planning rather than addressing threats in isolation. Growing electricity demand, driven in part by the expansion of data centers and other energy-intensive facilities, is placing additional strain on the power grid and raising concerns about outages and reliability. As a result, more organizations are evaluating how they can maintain operations during grid disruptions and periods of uncertainty.
Natural-Gas Prices Soar as U.S. Braces for Arctic Blast
Natural gas prices surged as forecasts of a major Arctic blast raised concerns about energy supply disruptions across much of the United States. Energy producers, utilities, and federal officials prepared for potential strain on fuel supplies and power systems as heating demand rises. Texas has emerged as a central concern in energy markets, and grid operators there are closely monitoring conditions as electricity demand is expected to peak early in the week.
Energy demand curves and bridge power for data centers: Conversations at POWERGEN 2026
At POWERGEN 2026 in San Antonio, leaders from utilities, engineering firms, technology companies, and industry organizations discussed how rapidly changing demand profiles, especially from data centers and AI workloads, are reshaping power generation, grid planning, and energy infrastructure.
What’s Ahead in 2026: Evan Pittman and Anthony Oni
Experts highlight the critical need for both execution and innovation in the year ahead, emphasizing that speed to energization and cost pressures will shape decisions across the industry, with organizations looking for practical solutions that can be deployed at scale.
NEMA Adds Three New Manufacturing Companies to Membership
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has added three new manufacturing companies to its membership, broadening the organization’s expertise in areas such as power resilience, intelligent building systems, and advanced power distribution technologies. The new members—Enchanted Rock, Rollease Acmeda, and VoltServer—bring experience in electrical resiliency services, energy-efficient building components, and innovative power delivery solutions.
Insatiable demand for data centers is pushing development to high-risk areas
Data center construction continues booming across the U.S. as demand for AI, cloud services, and digital infrastructure climbs, even in areas historically considered high-risk for hurricanes and flooding. As utilities struggle to scale transmission capacity fast enough to keep up, the industry is increasingly turning toward alternative power solutions and resilient design to support demand growth.
