Across the PJM territory, from Pennsylvania and New Jersey through Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, large power consumers face two pressures at once: long waits for new grid capacity and rising capacity charges tied to peak demand. Aegis Power Solutions helps data centers, manufacturers and other large facilities in the Mid-Atlantic address both with onsite generation and storage.

 

CAPACITY CHARGES AND PEAK DEMAND

In PJM, a large share of a facility's power cost can be driven by how much it draws during a small number of peak hours. Facilities that can reduce their draw during those hours, using batteries or onsite generation, can lower their capacity obligation and the charges that follow from it. We model your load against historical peaks to show what that is worth before you commit to equipment.

 

BRIDGE POWER WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE GRID

New large-load connections in the region can take years to complete. Staged onsite generation lets a facility open and operate on a temporary basis while the permanent interconnection is built, and then transition the equipment to backup or peak-shaving duty.

 

WHAT WE BUILD AND SUPPLY

Battery storage for peak shaving and ride-through. Mobile gas turbines and gas generator sets for bridge and backup power. Gas power plants developed for longer-term supply. Combined heat and power for facilities with steady heat demand. Microgrids that coordinate the equipment and keep critical loads running through outages.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can onsite power reduce PJM capacity charges?

By lowering the facility's draw from the grid during the peak hours that set its capacity obligation, using storage or generation that runs only when needed.

Is onsite generation permitted in the Mid-Atlantic?

Permitting depends on the state, the fuel and the equipment. We handle air permits and interconnection applications as part of project development.

What should we send to get started?
