Problem: The Need for New Energy Solutions

- Modern digital businesses with 24/7 operations cannot tolerate blackouts
  and power interruptions

• Outages cost $80 billion in losses each year

- The demand for environmentally-sustainable energy cannot be met by
   traditional electric suppliers

• The $38 billion in new “green power” investments in 2005 already represents 20% of investments in the electric power sector

- Certain business need higher-quality power than the traditional grid can supply

• Data centers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, movie theaters, and research labs are demanding new solutions

- Energy costs continue to escalate for electricity, heating, and cooling

• In some states, rates recently increased up to 70% in a single year

Solution: Local Power

Pareto Energy can help cities, communities, and businesses to take control over their energy supply:

• Control and install ultra-reliable “Local Power” and tailor it to your specific locations and needs
• Take optimal advantage of combined heat and power using district energy and microgrids to dramatically reduce emissions
• Invest in micro generation, high-performance energy equipment, and energy procurement strategies to reduce the cost of power
• Create electric reliability insurance that covers product loss and business interruption from power outages, surges, and other disruptions.

Organizationally, EIDs combine the tax advantages of business improvement districts with the regulatory benefits of publicly-owned power. Using the assets of energy savings and member’s purchased-power contracts, the EID improves new project balance sheets by fully financing capital outlays for energy infrastructure. The efficiency inherent in aggregating businesses in an EID provides its members with immediate cash flow via reduced energy expenditures and avoided costs of power outages.
