HOW IT
WORKS

Unlike a backup generator, PowerPlant is your primary power source. It runs continuously to produce electricity and heat fueled by clean natural gas, renewable natural gas, or propane.

Our solution

micro-combined heat and power (micro-chp)

GRIDIRON’s patented small-scale distributed power units provide “base-load” power up to total load, operating continuously 24/7. 

Our units combine:

Electricity: natural gas / propane generation

Heat: Captured for use in water/space heating

Cooling: Compressor cools just like an electric air conditioner (optional feature)

GRIDIRON PROVIDES AN INEXPENSIVE, RELIABLE, LOCAL ENERGY
SOURCE THAT RUNS 24/7/365
SAY HELLO TO affordable, SECURE, CLEAN POWER.

Micro-CHP vs.

Backup Generators

Micro-CHP

  • Standby, prime, and base load power capabilities
  • Uninterruptible 24/7
  • Highly efficient
  • Lowers annual energy costs up to 60%
  • Integrate renewable fuel sources
  • Local, onsite energy production
  • Demand responsive
  • Operates quietly

Backup Generators

  • Standby power
  • Local energy production
  • Toxic emissions and pollutants
  • Limited fuel compatibility
  • Last resort
  • Short-term energy supply
  • Loud, disruptive generation

Unique
Advantages

Unit cost is around 1/3 the cost of other similarly sized units.

Power is the primary output as opposed to heat for most competitors

Solves the intermittency problem created with renewables

Quiet operation and compact design facilitate easy installation in urban areas

Base-load power increases resilience and reduces reliance on external grid to offset power outages, grid instability, and extreme weather events

Lower total energy costs with recovered heat from the mCHP reduces gas demand from boilers and demand charges from the electric grid
