The U.S. Department of Energy recently warned that national blackout hours could rise by more than 100 times by 2030 if firm generation fails to keep pace with demand. The report projects that outage hours could jump from single digits today to over 800 hours per year as older plants retire and power demand surges from data centers, electrification, and AI.
The gap between new load growth and dependable capacity is widening. DOE estimates 104 GW of plant retirements by 2030, but only 22 GW of new firm generation being added. Data centers can be built in 18 months, while new power projects can take years longer to complete. This mismatch leaves the grid exposed to reliability risks across multiple regions.
Behind-the-Meter Power
Behind-the-meter generation produces electricity directly at the site of consumption. It gives facilities energy, independence, faster deployment, and resilience during grid stress or outages. By generating power on-site, businesses reduce transmission losses and avoid waiting for grid expansion.
Mobile Gas Turbines
Mobile gas turbines are one of the fastest and most reliable forms of behind-the-meter power. Life Cycle Power’s trailer-mounted turbines can be deployed within days to deliver firm capacity where it is needed most. These units operate on natural gas or diesel and offer low emissions, quick installation, and scalable output.
Mobile turbines are ideal for bridging power, backup generation, or long-term on-site supply. They allow critical operations such as data centers and industrial facilities to maintain uptime during grid disruptions.
Bridging the Reliability Gap
DOE estimates the U.S. needs roughly 100 GW of new dependable capacity by 2030. Life Cycle Power helps meet that need now. By reducing dependence on the bulk grid, facilities can manage growing demand without compromising reliability.
Life Cycle Power’s Advantage
