Microgrid Project Development

Overview

Klimate Consulting supported Scale Microgrid Solutions with business development and customer acquisition in the food and agriculture sectors, helping bring reliable, cost-competitive solar+battery+backup power to California's Central Valley.

The Challenge

California's agricultural sector faces increasing energy reliability challenges. Grid instability, rising electricity costs, and the growing threat of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) events have created urgent demand for distributed energy solutions — particularly in the Central Valley, where farming operations depend on consistent power for irrigation, cold storage, and processing.

Our Approach

We helped Scale Microgrid Solutions identify and engage agricultural customers who could benefit most from microgrid deployments. This involved analyzing energy consumption patterns across different farming operations, developing tailored value propositions, and supporting the sales process from initial outreach through project scoping.

Impact

By bridging Scale's microgrid technology expertise with deep knowledge of the agricultural sector, we helped accelerate their entry into a high-potential market — connecting farmers with clean, resilient energy solutions that reduce both costs and carbon emissions.
