Microgrid Solutions Reduce Energy Costs By Half
Microgrid solutions reduce energy costs by utilizing renewables, storing energy for later use, and operating independently or in conjunction with the power grid. Read the case study below to see how Mesa used many generators to create a microgrid and reduced unplanned downtime for the customer. The Customer A prominent Permian oil and natural gas producer focused on the acquisition and development of unconventional fuel reserves in the Permian Basin. As an established Mesa Solutions customer, they were already familiar with Mesa’s superior power rental service. A less-than-satisfactory turbine rental arrangement prompted this customer to initiate a cutting-edge microgrid upgrade with Mesa. The Challenge A remote location, high peak demand, unique fuel gas characteristics, and a need to reduce unplanned downtime. This customer’s site is the central point of generation for a distributed network of 36 wells, two saltwater disposal systems, and 14 oil batteries – accounting for roughly 10MW of total power demand. With no connection available to the primary utility grid, the customer needed a power solution that could operate using only a local supply of low-pressure field
