From June 23 to June 26, when the Northeast and Midwest experienced record high temperatures, Scale Microgrids kept all its microgrid customers in the region powered, offset customers’ demand by 86% and reduced demand by 9.1 MW, freeing up much-needed power for the grid.

During that time period, the company’s microgrids responded to eastern U.S. grid operator PJM’s Emergency Load Response Program event, said Spencer Bernstein, senior director, client success at the company.

For one customer, Scale Microgrids met its commitment to PJM to reduce capacity, cutting the customer’s demand by an average 4.3 MW, he said.

Over the same time period, Bloom Energy’s microgrids–which can include fuel cells, solar, wind, energy storage and combined heat and power systems–supplied over 5 GWh of electricity across the region, said Bala Naidu, vice president of energy transition at Bloom Energy.
