Extreme weather hits the power grid hard, and the problem is only getting worse thanks to storms turbocharged by climate change. Weather-related disasters are happening 5 times more often than they did fifty years ago. These disasters add up—power outages cost the U.S. economy $150 billion each year. 

Energy companies are turning to innovative solutions to get the power back on quickly, at a lower cost to the consumer and with a lower environmental impact. Mobile energy storage systems are powerful and flexible tools designed to help customers in emergencies and beyond. 

In this infographic, you’ll find out how companies like Green Mountain Power are using mobile energy storage systems to:

• Swiftly deliver power to emergency shelters and first responders during storms
• Smooth out intermittent generation from renewables and meet peak power needs at lower costs during routine service
• Offer flexible service to seasonal customers like ski resorts without costly investments in additional infrastructure
