  - - - Power Resilience
        
        Power resilience refers to having the ability to continue your operations without impact from disruption to your power supply. As we electrify more of what we do, we put ourselves at greater risk from power disruption, which can have significant financial implications.

- Solving Grid Constraints
  - - - Solving Grid Constraints
        
        Grid constraints can come in several formats. These key types of constraints can prevent you from connecting electrical equipment on your site to the national grid. The most common are insufficient demand, authorised capacity, insufficient resilience, or incorrect permissions

  - - - Microgrids
        
        A microgrid is a localised energy system with the capacity to disconnect from the grid and operate as a standalone system. While the majority of the time a microgrid operates while connected to the grid, it is able to switch to its own, on-site generation indefinitely to prevent power outages on the grid from disrupting the site.
