Ensuring Uninterrupted Power for Government and Military Facilities

Enchanted Rock’s Resiliency-as-a-Service

At  Enchanted Rock, we understand the need for reliable power at government facilities. Military bases, research centers, and other vital installations require uninterrupted energy to safeguard operations and ensure national security. Yet, dependence on an aging utility grid exposes these facilities to the risk of outages caused by weather events, cyberattacks, or equipment failure.

Enchanted Rock’s Proven Solution

We offer a revolutionary, turnkey approach to backup power: electrical resiliency-as-a-service.

  • Industrial-scale, long-duration power: Patented natural gas generators ensure extended operation during outages, lasting from minutes to weeks.
  • Community-friendly technology: Unlike traditional diesel generators, our solution boasts ultra-low emissions, quiet operation, and a low visual impact, facilitating rapid permitting.
  • Awardable Solution: Enchanted Rock has achieved “Awardable” status on the Department of Defense (DoD) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, signifying our technology meets stringent government contracting requirements.
  • Low upfront costs: Unlike diesel backup, upfront costs can be as little as 10-20% of the system cost due to our participation in energy markets when the system is not needed for backup.
  • Expert O&M and 24/7 monitoring included: Enchanted Rock provides ongoing operations & maintenance (O&M) throughout the typical 15 or 20-year contract lifespan.
  • Turnkey solution: Enchanted Rock designs, builds, finances, owns, operates, and maintains the entire backup generation solution.
