Keeping your facility up and running during a power crisis is critical to your organization’s success, and the Depco team can help you achieve it. What’s better than backing up your power sources? Backing them up with more efficient power solutions!

Energy efficiency, facility management and greener power sources play a large role in determining emergency generation costs and capacities. This is because the more energy-efficient your power source, you can extend the operating hours of your emergency generator’s fuel tank. By integrating your power needs with your facility management solutions, you can build an integrated backup power plan for your emergency power needs. 

Who should build an integrating backup power plan? You. Meaning anyone with a facility requiring critical backup power needs. That includes hospitals, contact centers, first responders, nursing homes, water and waste management facilities, data centers, manufacturing plants, and more.  

Some of the key components to building a more efficient backup power plan include: 

  • Identifying your equipment by critical and non-critical importance.
  • Measure your power use by each critical piece of equipment, then calculate your emergency power requirements
  • Factor your power generation runtime, in an emergency situation, on your backup power source.

Now you can target your power efficiency options and calculate the energy and cost savings from these measures. 

Taking these steps are an important part of preparing for blackouts, brownouts and emergencies. Sustaining critical operations requires uninterruptible power generation and distribution to keep you up and running. By carefully planning your integrated backup power, you can extend the life of your backup power. In critical backup power applications such as data centers or telecommunications, even brief power outages can be costly. In hospitals and nursing homes, it can create life threatening scenarios.

Depco can help you select standby power generators to run when there is an outage to the grid or the main power source. Contact us to discuss your integrated plan, the efficiencies you desire and we can help you select a generator to meet your needs. Our experienced team can help!
