Sunset for Carbon

Scientists now agree that a virtual replacement of our energy system is required to avert catastrophic changes in the Earth's climate. While many are focused on greening the existing power supply with green mega-projects like wind farms and massive new transmission lines to connect them to cities, the climate benefits of such plans are limited by intermittency. Power localization and demand side technologies are the key to reducing a City's carbon footprint.


Local Power uniquely recognizes the singular importance of relocalization and demand reduction to achieve meaningful carbon reductions in the power sector. That is why we are partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratory, California Energy Commission, and two California counties to design Renewable Energy-based Secure Communities. Local Power means not just solar and renewable distributed generation but smart grid, battery capacity balancing and other innovations that dramatically improve capacity factor, resilience, and Return on Investment, enabling a new scale of growth curve and greenhouse gas reductions that are unimaginable without the integration tools that LPI has developed. Call us today to get an estimate of how you can move beyond fossil-fueled "fires and wires" with a transition to reliable, affordable, clean and local resources. Here. Now.
