Weatherproof power when you need it most
End the cycle of long outages and big losses from strong storms.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl making landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast, over 2 million people were left without power in the city of Houston alone.
In the two weeks after the Category 1 storm’s impact, Enchanted Rock’s microgrid systems and fully staffed Network Operations Center provided more than 8,200 hours of power – equivalent to almost 342 days – for customers experiencing storm-related outages at 168 sites across Texas.
Statewide Impact
- 6,900+ hours supporting retail establishments enabling people to purchase food, water, ice, gas, medications and more (H-E-B, Walmart, Buc-ee’s)
- 470+ hours supporting industrial facilities
- 340+ hours supporting assisted living/senior/retirement facilities
- 290+ hours supporting water plants/metropolitan utility districts
- 150+ hours supporting other critical services
- 140+ microgrid sites operated simultaneously at peak
That proactive protection prevented costly downtime and mitigated losses across a variety of industries and businesses who trust Enchanted Rock’s natural gas generators and microgrids:
- Retailers, including H-E-B, Bucee’s, and Walmart, who provided life-saving medications, ice, bottled water during boil water advisories, and other essential supplies
- Assisted living and senior care facilities, who kept residents safe and comfortable in their homes, providing uninterrupted care while avoiding costly and risky staff evacuations
- Critical infrastructure like levee improvement districts and water treatment plants, which keep our communities safe by remaining operational
Since 2009, Enchanted Rock has been the trusted source for natural gas microgrid innovation, helping businesses across Texas and the nation combat the effects of increasingly volatile weather on aging energy infrastructure.
“Enchanted Rock provides a fabulous example of how demand response from small, distributed generators can provide affordable, reliable power… [while fighting climate change.]”
-Chris Tomlinson, Houston Chronicle (2023)
Unlike diesel generators, the natural gas generators that power Enchanted Rock’s multipurpose microgrids don’t need refueling and come with unparalleled 24/7 monitoring and planning that take the stress out of preparing for the unexpected. Long before Beryl made landfall, Enchanted Rock took proactive steps to ensure uninterrupted power for our customers.
As we head into peak hurricane season, don’t wait for the next storm to protect your business from disaster. With reliable power comes peace of mind, and with Enchanted Rock, The Power Is On.
