Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities
- Process equipment, compressors, and shift changes create short peaks that drive demand charges all year — even when total usage stays flat.
- We engineer the full energy system around how your plant actually runs, then operate it so peaks stay managed and the savings case holds up.
Energy Infrastructure for Manufacturing Facilities
Control demand charges without changing how you run production.
For most plants, the largest controllable line on the electric bill is not consumption.
It is demand.
A few coincident loads for minutes can set a charge that carries through the entire billing period.
Sprocket Power builds the energy system around how the site operates.
The Challenge
Most industrial sites are working through a version of the same problem:
- demand charges set by short, coincident peaks
- process and refrigeration loads that cannot be interrupted
- existing solar that lowered usage but not peak demand
- outage exposure that stops production
- interconnection, incentive, and program complexity
The equipment is rarely the issue. The issue is whether the system was designed and is being operated around the economics.
How Sprocket Power Helps
We start with your interval data and tariff to identify what is actually driving your peaks.
From there, we right-size storage, solar, controls, and interconnection strategy around the financial outcome rather than the equipment list.
Then we run it. Storage dispatch, load coordination, and grid program participation are managed continuously against production schedules, rate structures, and seasonal load.
Why It Fits Manufacturers
Many industrial sites have already invested in solar and still see high demand charges.
That is a design and operations gap, not a hardware gap.
We model conservatively against your tariff, build incentives and grid revenue into the case from the start, and stay with the system after commissioning.
What This Can Include
- interval data, tariff, and peak driver analysis
- battery storage sizing and dispatch strategy
- integration with existing solar and process loads
- interconnection and utility coordination
- incentive capture and grid program enrollment
- ongoing optimization and financial oversight
