Universities & Schools – Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we bring the same best-in-class energy consulting services to natural gas procurement as we do for electricity supply.

Choosing the most reliable backup energy solution depends on several factors unique to your facility. We match your energy requirements with the right technology.

Our typical approach includes:

Understanding your energy load profile (ie critical loads, peak demand, backup power duration, equipment sensitivity) to determine if you need full-facility energy backup or selective load coverage.
Identifying ride-through requirements to evaluate batteries/UPS systems for momentary ride-through (seconds) or generator/BESS/hybrid power solutions (longer ride-through), all while ensuring compliance with regulatory, insurance or operational guidelines.
Evaluating on-site equipment feasibility such as available space, fuel type, noise, emissions, permitting and utility/grid interconnection requirements.
Supporting energy lifecycle cost, reliability, and operational benefits with energy solution comparisons of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), UPS systems, natural gas/diesel generators and microgrid solutions with solar, BESS and power generation for enhanced resilience.
Designing a Customized Energy Reliability Plan, to meet compliance, operational continuity, budget, site and future load growths.

There are several ways to purchase our energy solutions:

Build/Transfer: Priority Power does the build, and transfers ownership to you once the energy project is complete
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Priority Power builds, owns and operates the energy project
Operations and Maintenance: Regardless of ownership, Priority Power provides ongoing operations and maintenance of the energy project

PPM provides fully integrated energy solutions to universities and K-12 institutions nationwide, with a proven track record of generating double-digit energy cost savings across every engagement.
