MOBILE ENERGY STORAGE

ENHANCES STORM-RELATED
OUTAGE RECOVERY
September 2022 was a wrenching after a similarly damaging storm
month for millions of people turned the electricity off for
impacted by extreme weather. months across the island. Not long
Hurricane Fiona devastated Puerto after, Hurricane Ian knocked out
Rico’s power grid just five years power to over 4 million Floridians.1

As climate change turbocharges extreme weather, utilities need

innovative tools to restore power quickly. Mobile energy storage gives
utilities a powerful and flexible tool to help customers when they need it
most – and a resource that delivers benefits even when the horizon is clear.
