Hybrid Generation
MATURE GENERATION SOLUTIONS AROUND GRID + SOLAR + BATTERY + NATURAL GAS
Elyctrica's solution integrates grid-sourced power with mature solar, battery, and natural gas electricity generation technology for onsite generation.The objective of these solutions is to- provide a lower levelized cost of power over a longer contract term as compared to current power supply contracts from utilities or IPPs We use operating leases (OL) and power purchase agreement (PPA) structures to reduce electricity procurement costs to protect from cost escalations and drift due to renegotiated contracts.- provide clean stable power preventing unplanned outages and associated losses.- help customers achieve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals by reducing their Scope 2 emissions not within their control. We substitute grid power with onsite deployment of clean technologies to reduce carbon footprint and emissions.

OPERATING MODELS
30 YEAR TERM
Operating
Lease
In the operating lease structure, Elyctrica's customers enter into a long-term 30-year lease contract for the power plant. Clients use all power as-generated. All this power is generated behind the meter and at the client's discretion can be sold to the utility for credits or based on agreements with the utility independent of the operating lease with Elyctrica.A client pays a fixed monthly for the block of power generated. Any excess power generated is provided to the customer at no extra cost.This structure creates a predictable cost structure with no exposure to market volatility.
30 YEAR TERM
Energy Service Agreements or Power Purchase Agreements
In the Energy Service Agreement structure, clients enter into 30-year contracts where Elyctrica will build a custom asset onsite and behind the meter to supply a block of power determined by the client's current load.Client pays a fixed monthly for the block of power generated. Any excess power generated is provided to the customer at no extra cost.This structure creates a predictable cost structure with no exposure to market volatility.
FAQ
What are Elyctrica's operating models ?
We develop, finance, build, own, and maintain assets for connected loads. Elyctrica uses Energy Services Agreements and Operating Leases. Both models involve 30-year terms. A custom behind-the-meter solution developed using ground-mounted, roof-mounted, or canopy-mounted solar, utility-scale battery, and natural gas-fired baseload and peaker generation, guarantees the customer a block of power over the term of the contract at a fixed price contracted as a lease or energy services agreement or power purchase agreement with defined escalation at appropriate times. These agreements are fixed-price contracts providing a predictable levelized cost of energy. We do not enter in short term 3 - 5 year contracts as we are building a dedicated behind the meter asset.
WHAT current and future technologies do you build solutions around ?
Elyctrica is an independent power producer focused on distributed power generation assets serving a specific load behind the meter.
Most current solutions are built around solar arrays, battery energy storage systems, natural gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and smaller gensets. Given the 30-year term of our contracts, we chose to use mature proven generation technology in our current solutions. That said, we continue to explore relationships and new technology that we can incorporate into our solutions to cheapen power supplied to our customers. We partner with innovators focused on wind power, geothermal generation, evolving solar panel technologies, promising battery chemistries, small hydro projects, electrolyzers for hydrogen generation tied to fuel cell power generation, and small modular reactors for nuclear-based base load.
How do we get started as a customer ?
We do a preliminary analysis and design free of cost and send you a summary detailing the feasibility of the project, distributed generation design best suited to your needs, estimated electricity cost reductions in your operating expenses, and emissions reductions.You need to send us
- 24 months of metered electricity consumption at facilities requiring distributed generation that is readily obtained from your utility representative.
- Multiple utility bills ( preferably 12 contiguous months ) to identify potential savings on the current rate structure.
- Address of the site/s or latitude and longitude.
- choice of generation technologies
- specific objectives or electricity issues that you are looking to solve.Fill out the form at the top of this page and an Elyctrica solution engineer will contact you to set up a preliminary conversation.
Why do I need an Elyctrica behind the meter power generation solution ?
Based on customer feedback and solutions we have built in the recent past, three objectives are common with current customers.
- cost reduction and predictability compared to sourcing power from utility providers. Customers have reported price escalation on renewals and significant volatility in power price contracts. We provide long-term fixed prices with defined escalation over a 30-year term.
- inability of the utility to support rapid customer load growth. Some of our customers have turned to behind-the-meter solutions due to the utility's inability to keep pace with business and associated load growth due to constraints on aging transmission infrastructure. Onsite generation is the answer to the lack of transmission.
- with the new focus on achieving ESG goals, Elyctrica's solution provides a viable alternative to existing efforts centered around the grid. Manage Scope 1 emissions using Elyctrica on site while reducing Scope 2 emissions by reducing dependency on grid power wherever possible.
