Founded with the simple mission to protect against unexpected power outages and ensure uninterrupted operations, no matter the circumstances, Enchanted Rock has gone on to set the standard for Electrical Resiliency-as-a-Service. The business started in 2006 with a focus on solving local reliability challenges in Texas.“ Our goal was to make backup power both reliable and affordable for critical facilities,” explains Allan Schurr, COO at Enchanted Rock.“ What we do is quite straightforward: we help customers that can’ t afford downtime- data centers, hospitals, manufacturers, utilities, government facilities- keep the lights on when the grid goes down, whether it’ s from extreme weather, equipment failures, or even cyberattacks. The way I see it, we’ ve simplified resiliency for our customers. They get dependable power and peace of mind, while at the same time we’ re helping strengthen the grid as a whole.”
This confidence is delivered via the operation and maintenance of natural gas fueled microgrids on behalf of customers. Customers benefit from resilient, alwayson power without taking on the capital or operational responsibilities themselves. Allan gives more details on the impressive functionality of its microgrids, which do more than just‘ sit on standby’.“ Unlike traditional diesel generators, which sit idle most of the time, our systems can be dispatched to support the grid during periods of stress or imbalance. By running frequently and at full capacity, our microgrids achieve 99.999 percent combined reliability, ensuring the performance and uptime that mission-critical operations demand.”
