Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESC) 101
Reed Brown, of the Alliance to Save Energy, explains the benefits of utility energy service contracts (UESC) and why their full worth isn't always recognized.
About a century ago we began switching from fire to electricity as our main source of energy. Now, electric outlets, lights, wires and poles abound. So job done, right? Far from it. In some ways, electrification has just begun.
We offer a global view of reciprocating engines in remote communities in this excerpt from the Microgrid Knowledge guide, Reciprocating Engine Generators and Microgrids: The Last Defense Against a Power Outage.
