Onsite power generation makes a significant difference in the face of increasing renewable energy use. Just like a backup generator works differently from grid power, onsite generation systems will become far more crucial as the U.S. power grid faces growing reliability challenges.

With energy storage still costly, onsite generation systems, such as natural gas or diesel-powered units, offer a reliable solution. Not only will these systems guarantee power when the grid falters, but they will also allow users to avoid high peak pricing and become more valuable over time.
