Microgrids for Retail
Your store is more than a place to shop; it’s a vital part of the community. Whether you’re providing groceries, home essentials, or pharmacy services, your customers rely on you to be there, especially when the unexpected happens. PowerSecure partners with leading grocery and big box retailers to deliver energy solutions that ensure your stores stay open, your inventory stays protected, and your customers stay served.
Why PowerSecure?
Built for Retail. Backed by Experience.
We don’t just install systems; we build long-term partnerships. PowerSecure surrounds you with a team of energy experts, engineers, and market strategists who understand the complexity of retail operations. Whether you operate 50 stores or 500, our modular, scalable microgrids are tailored to your footprint and growth plans.
From point-of-sale systems to refrigeration and food prep, your operations depend on uninterrupted power. Our microgrids are engineered to deliver dependable energy, even during grid outages. Spoiled inventory, missed sales and damaged reputation can cost millions. Our microgrids ensure your systems stay online.
Tailored Solutions, Minimal Footprint
At PowerSecure, we understand that no two retail locations are the same. That’s why our microgrid systems are designed to be modular, scalable, and space-conscious, fitting seamlessly into your existing footprint without disrupting operations. Whether you're working with a compact urban area or a sprawling structure, we engineer solutions that align with your physical space, energy goals, and operational priorities. Our systems are built to integrate smoothly with your infrastructure, delivering maximum resilience with minimal intrusion.
Energy That Pays You Back
Your energy infrastructure can do more than power your store; it can support your bottom line. By participating in available utility demand response programs, your business can earn financial incentives simply by shifting or reducing energy use during peak demand periods. This not only helps stabilize the grid but also creates a new revenue stream that can offset capital costs and reduce operating expenses over time.
Management For The Full Equipment Lifecycle
Energy systems are long-term investments, and how they’re maintained over time can make all the difference. At PowerSecure, we take a proactive approach to equipment lifecycle management, ensuring your microgrid and backup systems continue to perform at peak efficiency for years to come. From the moment your system is installed, we provide ongoing monitoring, preventive maintenance, and performance optimization to extend equipment life, reduce unplanned downtime, and avoid costly repairs. Our long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) agreements are designed to give you peace of mind—so your energy infrastructure remains reliable, compliant, and aligned with your evolving business needs.
Smarter Energy Management with PowerControl®
Supporting your system over its full lifecycle means more than just maintenance—it means giving you the tools to manage energy smarter every day. That’s where PowerControl® comes in. This intelligent platform simplifies the complexity of energy oversight across your retail network. It provides real-time monitoring so you can track system performance, energy usage, and potential issues from anywhere.
When severe weather is approaching, PowerControl® can enable Storm Mode with certain microgrid configurations, allowing your stores to proactively switch to backup power before the grid experiences instability or an outage. It also streamlines participation in demand response programs by automating transitions and optimizing timing, so you can earn utility incentives without disrupting operations. And with built-in diagnostics and remote oversight, PowerControl® supports proactive maintenance that helps extend equipment life and reduce costly downtime. It’s not required to run your system—but it makes managing it easier, smarter, and more efficient.
From Concept to Continuity—
A True Turnkey Partner
When you partner with PowerSecure, you’re not just getting a product—you’re gaining a full-service energy partner. We handle 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 quality, speed, and accountability at every stage, so you can focus on running your stores while we power your resilience. Whether you're upgrading a single location or rolling out a nationwide strategy, we’re with you every step of the way.
“We had 34 stores without power and 31 stores running on generators. Being able to monitor generators before, during, and after a storm is essential. With a monitoring platform, you can watch the disruption in real-time. As soon as a store loses power, I see that as early detection, which closes our response gap."
