All PowerSurety does is develop integrated, life-cycle based energy resiliency, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects and nothing else. This is the case because we believe that the three are inextricably linked and that true real world energy resilience cannot be achieved without reducing base loads and managing peak demand. Given the ever-increasing complexity and integration requirements associated with such projects,  real world energy resiliency experience is essential to enabling economically viable, operationally sound, and financeable projects.

To ensure that resiliency-focused projects require the minimum amount of capital possible, island longer during extended grid outages, and are economically viable and financeable, it is imperative that the following items be included as key components of seamless and effective energy surety programs

A host of specialized activities are necessary to move virtually any project from concept to being financially, technically, and operationally viable. As cleantech energy project developers expand to meet the needs of a growing marketplace, most are cognizant of managing overhead costs and staffing levels.

Given that utility-scale microgrids experience is lacking due to it being a fairly nascent technologies as compared to more mature segments of the cleantech energy sector such as wind and solar generation systems, many companies approach the space more gingerly in terms of adding permanent fulltime headcount. And given the high level of technical complexity that exists in the microgrid and energy storage space combined with the fact that the industry is not yet mature, finding qualified, competent, and reasonably-priced talent can be quite challenging.

For many companies, outsourcing entire segments of or various tasks within a project makes sense as it is oftentimes faster, less expensive, and more effective than trying to recruit, hire, train, and maintain permanent in-house staff.
