Located in the heart of Brooklyn, ACME is one of the largest smoked fish manufacturers in the country. The project included the design, engineering, and installation services for an 815kW CHP system that provides electricity and hot water to the company’s processing facility. The system is paired with ACME’s existing on-site generation system and leverages Scale’s microgrid software and remote monitoring platform.
Of particular note, this configuration has allowed ACME to completely disconnect their facility from the utility, earning a unique distinction as one of the only industrial facilities in New York to operate completely “off grid”. ACME has never lost power for more than a few seconds since disconnecting from the utility.
Microgrid Capacity at ACME
This operating facility is completely autonomous from ConEdison. It has kept the facility 100% operational throughout all major storms and grid outages over the course of the project’s life. At times, it’s even been asked to produce food for other competing facilities that have lost power.
