With electricity powering so much of what we do every day, the demand is growing at levels once unimaginable. AI, the demand for zero-emissions trucks and the need for more automated warehouses are reshaping power consumption patterns.

Utilities remain the backbone of reliable supply. Their investment in a more modern grid takes time to complete. Distributed, on-demand power solutions provide a complementary pathway, ensuring businesses have the electricity they need today while giving utilities the time and flexibility to deliver tomorrow’s infrastructure.

Case studies from the Denker Avenue microgrid to distributed energy–powered data centers demonstrate that these solutions are not theoretical. They are being deployed now, building a more resilient, efficient and secure energy system. In an electrified economy, partnership between utilities and distributed resources will be essential to sustaining growth.
