“Marines need to train and hone their skills on the base, and that can’t be interrupted by natural disasters, attacks or anything that might cause the energy supply to this base to go down. This project is vital to our contribution to national security, and that’s not an overstatement.”
– Major General John Broadsmeadow, commander of Marine Corps Installations Command MCAS Yuma
A market leader in microgrid solutions and distribution generation, PowerSecure recognizes that resiliency and reliability of power systems are integral to serving the government’s energy needs. PowerSecure’s solution set has earned a significant share of the microgrid market in the US because we help minimize threats posed by external power failures, allowing government entities to fulfill their mission even when faced with serious weather and other contingency events. Microgrid solutions must have both the flexibility to add capacity as power needs grow, as well as 24/7/365 monitoring. From spending time on the ground, to evaluating the state of current assets, to devising cost reduction plans and developing approaches to renewable energy, PowerSecure is able to provide immediate solutions and services while also adopting the long-term view necessary to ensure the efficiency and quality of power for years to come. PowerSecure also develops and delivers energy efficiency solutions to create revenue streams to support investment in resiliency solutions. Our understanding of the ROI needs of government projects has been earned on more than $800 million in design-build projects throughout our history.
