Interview: How H-E-B Secures Reliable Backup Power

How Enchanted Rock’s dual-purpose microgrid solution transformed H-E-B’s resiliency planning and storm response

If Hurricane Beryl taught us anything, it’s that the time to secure weatherproof backup power for your business is before a storm hits and the grid fails.

By partnering with Enchanted Rock to secure worry-free resilient backup power that enables them to serve their customers when supplies are needed most, the stalwart Texas grocery chain earned a reputation as a backbone of the community—especially during severe weather events and grid failures—all while eliminating the need for mobile generators, complicated forecasting to predict where to put them, and the logistical and supply chain complications of securing diesel fuel in during flooding and other inclement weather.

“Texans needed food and comfort after a brutal storm. As usual, they found it at H-E-B.”
- New York Times

This insightful and informative discussion breaks down H-E-B’s innovative approach to energy resilience and emergency preparation and response. It explores how Enchanted Rock provided 8,200 hours of outage coverage to businesses and critical infrastructure across Texas during Hurricane Beryl. Viewers will learn more about Enchanted Rock’s dual-purpose microgrid solution—powered by natural gas generators and monitored and maintained by our 24/7/365 network operations center (NOC)—and its proven ability to deliver reliable backup power with 99.995% combined reliability.
