Risk Assessment

Life use to be a lot simpler. The reality is that we live in an age and time where a lot of what we do in our personal and business lives revolves around the use of electrical power. Being prepared does not have to be complicated. It’s just a matter of analyzing your situation and doing a risk assessment. Empower can assist you in this assessment.

Engine generators (commonly called gen-sets) play a vital role in providing critical power for people’s needs. Gen-sets are used for both stand-by (or backup) power and for prime power applications.

Why get your critical mission power issues resolved? Because you have a business to run. Because there is a high cost associated to power disturbances. Power reliability and power quality are more important than ever. This is why you should contact Empower Energy. We will help you and your company avoid the cost and inconveniences related to these disturbances.

There was a day when deciding on standby power systems was a simple process of evaluating electrical loads and staying within local, state and federal codes. The decision was usually based on the minimum requirements: operate elevators, alarm systems and make sure employees and customers could get out of the building. This was before businesses became so reliant on digital technology. A few minutes of standby power was sufficient for most facilities.

An outage today can cost tens of thousands, or even millions, of dollars. Today, sizing and specifying standby power systems is becoming a business decision, driven by economic risk assessment and a continually growing dependence on a virtually perpetual source of electric power.

Now we need to look at how much a utility outage will cost per hour in terms of lost production, lost products, lost revenues, lost data or even lost customers. The question to ask now is this, “How much is my company willing to invest in a standby power system to reduce our risks to zero?”

According to research by many contingency planning organizations, the cost of an electrical outage can exceed $1 million per hour for the average large business. Given these high-stake risks, business owners and managers are forced to evaluate new options for providing a continuous supply of power. The fact that we have virtually a 24/7 dependency on electrical power causes us to take a long hard look at the risk assessment of being without power – even for a limited amount of time.
