Great time to be grid-independent
Forecast peak #electricity usage for Oct. 14 in #PJM region: 113,312 MW at 5 p.m. (Eastern); total scheduled capacity 118,687 MW (data as of 6 a.m.)
PSPS events are getting longer, more frequent, and hitting larger zones.
Energy resilience is no longer optional.
We’re engineering the next layer of energy infrastructure to keep critical loads online.
Scale is working overtime to build resilient microgrids across California.
Large commercial and industrial loads in PG&E should all have behind-the-meter microgrids to help relieve stress on the grid.
PG&E said it’s shutting off power to some customers in northern and central California after dry weather and gusty winds elevated the risk of wildfires. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Walking around without any streetlights makes you realize how amazing electricity must have been at first just for this simple reason.
We're excited to welcome David Vickerman as Scale's new Chief Financial Officer!
David brings 25+ years of energy and infrastructure finance experience to the team, including 12 years as CFO for private equity-backed energy infrastructure and power platform companies. Over his career, he has overseen more than $7 billion in financing for new projects, platforms, acquisitions, and divestments.
In his new role, David will lead finance, accounting, and capital markets across both our Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Data Center Solutions platforms. He joins at a pivotal moment of rapid growth for Scale, as we pursue billions in new financing to power the next generation of on-site energy.
Welcome to the team, David!

Fun Fact: Santa Barbara is powered by one 40-mile power line through wildfire, earthquake and landslide terrain. Outages there last 2X longer than the rest of SoCal Edison.
That’s why Scale is building a solar + BESS + EV microgrid at Santa Barbara City College to convert it into a Community Resilience Hub that keeps the lights on, phones charger and medical care running when the grid goes down.
This is what community-scale energy security looks like.
☀️⚡️BREAKING:
Brand new 2.8 MW rooftop solar now live in Pennsylvania and projected to produce an insane 3.5M kWh/year.
The best part?
Mid-sized distributed solar projects like this one ease pressure on the grid by adding localized generation capacity where it’s needed and per Aurora Energy Research, could save Pennsylvania residents nearly $1 billion in electricity costs over the next decade by cutting wholesale power costs and buffering against natural gas price swings.
“Commercial real estate companies have a tremendous opportunity to drive energy affordability and reliability for their tenants and the entire grid,” said Kristel Watson, the head of Scale’s Commercial and Industrial business.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
We’re looking to hire an exceptional Microgrid Controls Engineer.
