Identified Problem

Historically, standard and typical mission critical energy infrastructure models have been planned, engineered and entirely dependent upon unstable and unsecured grid-supplied power systems, with generation and end-use being hundreds, or thousands of miles separated from each other. This antiquated, inefficient and unreliable power solution is not sustainable either presently or in the future, especially within the highly sensitive mission critical sectors, with further definition of the “why” provided below:

Power Generation

Globally, 84% of all power generated is derived from high-carbon sources, most of which have not been decarbonized

Cybersecurity Threats

Undisputedly, cyberattacks on the electric grid are increasing every day, with new and more disruptive actors appearing constantly.

System Failure Risking

As energy travels through multiple grid systems, substations and interconnections, there are an exponential number of single points of system failure

Minimal Customer Control

Utility-scale power generation is monopolized by large energy companies, where customers are left with very few levels of control.

Aged Infrastructure

Within the United States alone, the average age of electrical grid-dependent infrastructure is more than forty (40) years old.

Product Losses

In 2021, more than 200,350,000 megawatt hours of electric energy was lost due to inefficient transmission and distribution systems.
