Entergy Texas CEO, Healthcare CEO and CFO Roundtable: Microgrids and Resilience
In this latest edition of Video Roundtables Fortnightly, Sallie Rainer, CEO of Entergy Texas, Mike Olson, CEO and Duane Woods, CFO of Citizens Medical Center of Victoria, Texas, and Allan Schurr, CCO of Enchanted Rock talk about advanced microgrid strategies for enhancing resilience, particularly in areas like the Gulf Coast that are vulnerable to disruptive storms. For major commercial and industrial customers, as in the case of hospitals, customers are aiming for economical solutions that at the same time can ensure continued full service for all their normal operations. This engaging discussion is moderated by Public Utilities Fortnightly editor-in-chief Steve Mitnick.
Beyond Closing the Doors: Innovations in Cold Storage Electrical Resilience
In an era of power outages and grid instabilities, how can you safeguard your cold storage and EV fleet solutions?
Navigating Power Challenges: Broadening the Scope of Red Plug Life Safety
What happens when a hospital loses electricity? Most hospitals have red plug only, life safety backup for their facilities. While this will keep the power on short term for respirators and ventilators, significant gaps remain. Essential systems such as HVAC and electronic health records often lie beyond this safety net, integral to preserving a conducive care environment. These shortfalls can quickly contribute to rapid declines in patient health.
Breaking Power Gridlock: How Data Centers and Utilities Can Partner to Power New Load Growth
Data centers are facing a power challenge. By 2028, electric utilities expect their projected additional power needs will double. Some areas don’t have enough generation, while others have energy supply but lack the transmission and distribution to get it to customers. New and expanding power-hungry facilities, like data centers, cannot secure 24/7 firm power in markets across the U.S.
Interview: How H-E-B Secures Reliable Backup Power
If Hurricane Beryl taught us anything, it’s that the time to secure weatherproof backup power for your business is before a storm hits and the grid fails.
Enchanted Rock – Microgrids for Water and Wastewater Facilities
The availability of clean water is critical to today’s society. With the increasing number of electrical outages from extreme weather and an aging grid, water and wastewater treatment plants are challenged to remain operational 24/7/365 and are turning to microgrids as a diesel alternative for backup power generation.
