Many rural electric cooperatives are actively seeking ways to provide backup power to industrial sites and other entities that require steady, reliable energy. NRTC partners with PowerSecure, a Southern Company subsidiary, to deploy generators for these specialized cases. But Clay Electric Cooperative of Florida has been assisting several clients' backup power needs for decades while also curtailing load under its load management program with its G&T supplier. For Clay Electric, the question was how to address aging equipment.
Clay Electric chose to install new equipment for its members in areas with especially critical needs for constant, reliable power. Diesel-powered units have been operational for 30 years providing backup power and load management needs.
