Schneider Electric recently announced it has launched the California Energy Action Program to help California building owners and operators find energy solutions to prepare for future wildfire and climate events, manage rising energy costs and enable more energy independence.

The program’s cornerstone is the launch of GreenStruxure, a new company specifically designed to provide targeted energy solutions to the thousands of medium-sized buildings that deliver critical community services, such as hospitals and health care facilities, food and beverage operations, refrigerated warehouses, governmental buildings and universities, as well as critical economic engines such as agriculture and wine regions.

Unlike large corporations or residential customers, these medium-sized building owners and operators currently have few options available to them that give them assurance their power will be on when they need it most. The company is focusing on customers with demanding sustainability targets, a need for reliable power to run their business, and spend of at least $30,000/month or about $350,000/year in electricity.

In addition, the California Energy Action Program will use analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to help identify and prioritize communities where solutions are particularly viable. The company will use the data to identify specific patterns, geographies and classifications of buildings that have the greatest need for resiliency. It will also share this data with local decision-makers, regulators and others, beginning in high-fire threat zones, to create dialogue and spur action on readily available options.
