On-site Generator Program

On-site Generator Rate Saving Program

MVEC can lower your electric rate by 30% or more for most members with an On-Site Generator Program. Many business (commercial, industrial and agricultural) members choose this progrm for two important reasons:

1. On-site generation provides a secondary source of power during unexpected outages for your business. By continually monitoring utility power, an on-site generator will automatically start and transfer your facility to the generator if loss of power is detected. Benefits include:
• Minimize business downtime and lost revenue
• Eliminate lost labor hours waiting for power to return
2. On-site generation provides monthly rate saving opportunities over MVEC’s standard business rates through the “Peak Alert” load management program.

How Does the Peak Alert Program Work?

• During peak (or high) energy demand periods, MVEC will remotely and automatically start your generator and transfer your energy source from the utility to your generator. When the peak demand period is over, we remotely send a signal to the generator to return to normal utility service.
• Transferring your facility reduces demand on the system during peak usage times. A large portion of electricity costs is based on peak demand usage.

Examples of Businesses Taking Advantage of On-site Generators

• Car dealerships
• City governments
• Convenience stores
• Entertainment complexes
• Manufacturers
• Retail operations
• Schools
• Service providers
