Empowering Critical Infrastructure Resilience: Why Energy Storage is Essential for 24/7 Operations

Power interruptions are becoming more commonⁱ as global electricity demand grows and extreme weather events occur more frequently. According to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), organizations should expect more frequent and prolonged power outages in the coming decade.ⁱⁱ Forecasts like these underscore the urgent need for energy resilience. From healthcare facilities to data centers, energy storage is no longer optional – it’s essential. To address these challenges and maximize the value of energy storage, solutions must be tailored to each organization’s unique needs, usage patterns and resilience goals. Energy needs can vary significantly across different sites within the same organization. Factors like operational function, existing infrastructure, energy needs and local climate all influence which storage solution is best suited for each location.

In this eBook, you’ll learn how energy storage systems can:

• Provide a range of benefits from operational continuity to balancing energy supply and demand
• Be tailored for a specific site and how to navigate the full implementation journey from initial planning to long-term performance.

You’ll also learn considerations for choosing the right partner to support deployment.
