Peak Demand & Distributed Generation


More than just providing the prospect of lower prices, electric deregulation has stimulated the development of new and improved technologies aimed at providing alternatives to the current standard – a web of large power plants with transmission and distribution lines supplying electric to all companies and residences. Distributed generation technologies provide onsite alternatives for supplying electric. The alternatives include:

  • Natural gas driven turbines & micro-turbines
  • Cogeneration
  • Waste heat generation
  • Fuel cells
  • Wind and solar generation

Don't forget; distributed generation can solve power quality and back-up power issues as well.

Peak Demand™ is American PowerNet's total energy solution emphasizing flexibility of energy sources. Developing and installing on-site generation systems not only provides high reliability back-up, but also the ability to negotiate better energy contracts and ultimately produce your own power during times when it is cheaper than buying power off the grid.

Keep your options open with Peak Demand™.
