Relying solely on your electric utility for your vital power needs can have costly and disruptive consequences. Insufficient capacity, polluting power plants and an aging power infrastructure are generating nationwide power problems and rising prices, conditions which are expected to worsen in the months and years ahead. The easy availability of an abundant supply of uninterrupted, low-priced energy is becoming a fond memory throughout America.

It is increasingly important to manage your energy needs the way you assure the supply of any product or service that is essential to your daily operations: research and evaluate the alternatives and make an intelligent, cost-effective choice.

In the past, there was basically just one source of electricity: the local electric utility - a regulated, elaborate, expensive and inefficient way to get power. However, today's digital economy requires high quality power and more of it than ever before. But the utility grid is often woefully inadequate in its ability to supply the growing power needs of the 21st century.

Onsite power generation, or distributed generation, is not just the future of power generation - it is here today. While constructing new large-scale power plants requires vast capital expenditures and takes years, distributed generation creates power now, where you want it - and when you need it. Cogeneration, or combined heat and power, is arguably the most efficient, practical and successful distributed generation application commercially available today.
