Wisconsin business owners and residents are still reeling after the southeastern region suffered the largest power outage in decades due to the devastating storms that swept through the area.
Power Outages: Investing in on-site Energy
WE Energy reported over 225,000 of their customers were without power, and many were without service for five days. These disruptions to businesses are more than an inconvenience as companies can not interact with customers or employees, run equipment, or process data.
- Businesses lose $27 billion each year due to power outages
- 4-hour power disruption = $10K to $30K in loss
- 3-day outage = $100K+ approximately*

The staggering figures above are why we urge businesses to invest in on-site energy technologies that will prevent interruptions to company operations.

All too often, emergency calls come after a company has already experienced significant loss in time and money. While our emergency services are ready to deploy, those losses could be prevented by installing the right equipment and a regular maintenance schedule.
