Enchanted Rock

Big news from the City of Houston! The City of Houston Mayor's Office just announced that the Kashmere Multi-Service Center will receive a permanently installed Enchanted Rock #generator to ensure critical services for the community during extended power outages. As part of Houston’s #resilience hub initiative, this is the first of several locations that will serve the city’s most vulnerable communities. Residents of Kashmere Gardens have endured repeated power outages during extreme weather events like May’s Derecho and #HurricaneBeryl. These outages left the neighborhood in the dark, and the resilience hub was unable to fulfill its mission as a cooling and warming center where residents had access to Wi-Fi, food, and water. While this project brings much-needed reliability to the center, the system also has the potential to provide excess power back to the grid during times of stress. The project not only serves as a model for resilience and equity, but it also paves the way for similar upgrades at other multi-service centers and critical infrastructure across Houston. We commend Mayor John Whitmire, the Houston City Council, and community advocates for their tireless work in bringing #powergeneration resources to Kashmere Gardens. We are honored to be part of the solution that will keep the lights on for our neighbors, and we’re excited to work together on a model for resilience that can be replicated citywide. #energyresilience #houstonstrong #communitypowered #cleanenergy

Interesting article from Bisnow covers the recent collaboration between tech giants, developers, and utilities on a breakthrough approach that integrates flexibility and “islanding” capabilities into #datacenters to ensure they can operate independently during grid stress or power outages. Allan Schurr, PE also offers his perspective on the need for resilient, flexible solutions, pointing out that the time is now for data centers to take advantage of proven distributed energy resources (#DERs) for reliable #powergeneration. Cooperation like this is absolutely essential for the future of our power-hungry #digitalinfrastructure, and we’re excited to see how EPRI's DCFlex initiative can benefit the industry. Check out the article and learn how these groups are exploring new ways for data centers to function autonomously while enhancing grid stability. https://bit.ly/4fxTn28 #datacenterflexibility #energyresilience #gridstability #microgrids #generators
