Combined Heat & Power Plants (Cogen)
Our cogeneration power plants can run on natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, or propane. CHP plants are perfect for casinos, hospitals, or any buildings with large heating and cooling loads.
Battery Energy Storage Systems
Battery systems can be used to store power for release at night or anytime your primary power producers are offline.
Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems
UPS systems eliminate outages for your reservation. Colusa's home microgrid has gone over 12 years without failure, due in large part to our state of the art central UPS.
Underground Distribution Systems
When the wind blows or fires rage, overhead power lines are vulnerable to failure. All of our systems include all new underground distribution systems, installed with extreme care near culturally sensitive sites.
Central Chiller Plants
Central chiller systems provide your resort, clinic, school, cannabis operation, etc. with ultra efficient and reliable climate control.
HVAC
Energy efficiency in your HVAC systems is critical to maximizing the benefit of a new energy project on your reservation. Energy audits and HVAC upgrades complete our service package.
Training Program
Tribal energy sovereignty for Colusa means transferring all of our expertise to the Tribe's we develop with. Tribal member workforce development is a critical component of our mission. We host energy trainings at our home microgrid in Northern California and deliver all of the in person trainings your Tribe needs to successfully operate their own energy infrastructure long into the future. We also provide access to all of the top tier factory trainings from our partners at Caterpillar, Jenbacher, Rolls Royce-MTU, and more.
