Commercial and Industrial (C&I) customers are working towards their own set of Net Zero corporate goals, and it is challenging to build or modify their green/brownfield assets (buildings, factories). C&I can deploy a limited amount of RE within their premises that may meet 20-50% of their demand requirements, with direct usage or by net metering.

Energy efficiency is also at the center of energy management at C&I.

Across DER and demand, C&I customers need a flexible and adaptable microgrid solution and service to take complete control of efficiency and net zero.

C&I customer criteria for energy microgrid are as follows:

• Build and continuously improve the efficiency of present assets bringing efficiency into their largest loads and consumption
• Buildings have heating and cooling, EV charging, data center, UPS, 24×7 operations,
• Industrial demands vary based on their production schedules and equipment needs.
• Add renewable with assets deployed locally or buy RE power from remote plants.
• Observe ToD pricing from the local utility and its impact on their own consumption/ conservation.
• Achieve low energy bills per month by managing the local generation and consumption patterns

For manufacturers, Industry 4/5 digital needs are:

• Digitalization of assets like equipment, subsystem, floor, process, and product.
• Asset maintenance and reliability metrics to the center stage to ensure equipment longevity, and best maintenance, with lesser O&M costs.
• Microgrids cover Energy efficiency, net zero, and energy transition.
