Why We Founded Concierge Power & Capital
Energy has been at the core of our co-founder David March’s career since the beginning. When he was vice president of R&D and Chief Operating Officer for three high tech manufacturing companies, he focused on developing and getting new products out the door. Energy was an essential aspect of his operations, yet it was also inconsequential.
As David puts it, “Things were easier then; I didn’t really worry that much about energy. Electricity and natural gas were inexpensive – typically less than 5% of my cost of goods – and we didn’t suffer from outages, except for the occasional hurricane or blizzard when we shut down anyway for the safety of our employees. Power quality was a big concern as some of our processes were extremely sensitive. One such process involved a several-ton machine floating on a pool of mercury whose metrology was controlled by 27 lasers. The machine was set up, started, and the door was locked because the process took three weeks of automated 24 x 7 machining. Power quality issues were always self-generated, not imported from the grid. We caused them and we fixed them.”
Life as an operating executive was easy, at least from an energy perspective. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case, and diligent energy management is now required to be successful. Concierge Power & Capital (CPC), was formed to provide energy management services to busy executives and help unburden operations and maintenance personnel.
The energy transition is in full swing, and it is important to remember that the transition affects both the generators of energy and the consumers of energy. Almost everyone is focused on the generation side of the transition – they add solar, wind, and batteries to their operations believing that will solve their problems. But the energy transition is creating significant challenges for energy consumers, and CPC is here to help you manage and prosper. Only CPC is focused on the impacts of the energy transition on you.
The increase in intermittent renewables on the grid, coupled with extreme weather due to climate change, has resulted in a less reliable grid and a significant decline in power quality. Outages have more than doubled over the past five years and incidents of power quality issues are up 14-fold. Both are forecasted to get worse for at least the next decade.
Organizations need to protect themselves, but there are too many variables and unknowns: What do I need? A battery or a genset? What size? What fuel? How much will this cost, and where will the money come from? Most companies lack the experience and domain knowledge to manage their energy demand in this complex and changing energy market.
Concierge Power & Capital makes the decision easy: We provide the capital, we select the equipment, and we own, operate and maintain the equipment. We supply the power you need to be successful. We are your concierge energy management department.
