Microgrids for Logistics & Distribution Centers

Your distribution network is the backbone of modern commerce. Whether you're fulfilling e-commerce orders or managing last-mile delivery, your operations depend on precision, speed, and uptime. Even a brief disruption can ripple across your supply chain by delaying shipments, damaging customer trust, and costing millions.

Explore how PowerSecure can support your energy strategy.

Why PowerSecure for Distribution Centers?

Microgrids play a critical role in ensuring business continuity for logistics and distribution centers, where even brief power disruptions can halt automated systems, delay shipments, and compromise customer commitments. By operating independently from the main grid when needed, microgrids provide a reliable, on-site energy source that keeps essential systems—like picking automation, refrigeration, and IT infrastructure—running without interruption. This resiliency helps protect throughput, maintain service levels, and safeguard revenue, even during severe weather events or grid instability. For logistics operators, microgrids are a strategic investment in operational reliability and customer trust.

At PowerSecure, we partner with leading logistics providers to deliver tailored resilient, intelligent energy solutions that keep your systems online and your operations moving. Our microgrids are engineered to support the high-performance demands of logistics infrastructure

From Design to Delivery—A True Turnkey Partner

PowerSecure we strive to go above and beyond to be your energy partner. We can manage every step of your energy journey in-house, from custom system design and precision manufacturing to expert installation and long-term maintenance. Our integrated approach ensures speed, quality, and accountability, so you can focus on logistics while we power your resilience.

We understand the complexity of logistics, from 24/7 operations and high-load automation to the demands of maintaining uptime across a national footprint. Our microgrid solutions are modular, scalable, and tailored to your facility’s unique energy profile.

Resiliency: Engineered for Uninterrupted Logistics

Our systems are designed to seamlessly transition to backup power during grid outages, ensuring that critical infrastructure remains fully operational. With PowerSecure’s proprietary controls and real-time monitoring, your facility is protected against power disruptions that could halt fulfillment or delay deliveries. Our microgrids are backed by decades of field-proven performance and supported by a dedicated team of engineers and technicians who understand the urgency of logistics continuity. When uptime is non-negotiable, PowerSecure delivers.

Experts For The Entire Lifecycle Of Your Microgrid:

PowerSecure’s commitment doesn’t end at installation. We provide full lifecycle management through long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) agreements that are tailored to the demands of logistics environments. Our in-house teams handle everything from predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics to performance optimization and compliance support. With 24/7 monitoring through our PowerControl® platform, we proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact operations. This approach extends equipment life, reduces unplanned downtime, and ensures your microgrid continues to perform at peak efficiency. With PowerSecure, you gain a partner who manages your energy infrastructure with the same precision you apply to your supply chain.

Energy Market Participation: Designed to Deliver ROI

Did you know microgrids can work for your bottom line? Our systems can be optimized to participate in local utility demand response programs and energy markets, allowing logistics operators to turn their microgrid into a flexible demand resource. This means your facility can earn incentives by reducing or shifting energy use during peak periods—without compromising operations.

PowerSecure PowerControl doesn’t stop at maintenance. We can make demand response simple, too. Our system allows for seamless transition on and off the grid during demand response events, ensuring your facility responds at the right time so you never lose a power for a moment. PowerControl can also provide real-time visibility into system performance and energy usage across your network. With PowerControl, you have a dedicated energy team to manage your microgrid’s market activity while you stay focused on your customers.

Proven Performance in Logistics and Manufacturing

PowerSecure is the energy partner behind some of leading logistics and industrial operations in the country. Our microgrid solutions are trusted by national leaders who cannot afford downtime, whether they’re moving goods, feeding the nation, or manufacturing mission-critical materials.

At Dyneema, the manufacturer of the world’s strongest fiber, PowerSecure deployed a resilient distributed energy solution that supports continuous uptime for precision manufacturing 24/7. The system ensures that Dyneema’s high-performance production lines remain operational and protects product quality and operational efficiency.

At Cargill’s protein processing facility, PowerSecure implemented a solution not only ensures uninterrupted operations but also helps offset energy costs through energy management strategies.

These are just two examples of how PowerSecure delivers more than backup power. We deliver operational continuity, cost control, and peace of mind. With a national footprint and deep experience in logistics, food processing, and advanced manufacturing, we understand the stakes of every shipment, every cycle, and every customer promise, and we’re here to help you keep them.

“In 2009, when an ice storm hit Northwest Arkansas and Kentucky, knocking out power for millions of customers, Cargill ran their generators for six days straight in order to keep producing.” - “We were the only facility in this area to continue processing products. If the plant had been closed for those six days, it would have cost about $1.2 million.”

- Jim Edwards, Cargill engineering manager
