Met us in Fairbanks? Let's keep talking.
Keep the lights on.
Burn less diesel.
We help tribal and rural communities plan, design, and run microgrids that actually perform after the ribbon-cutting.
Your community did the hard part. You found the funding, picked the site, sat through the engineering reviews, and finally cut the ribbon.
Then the system goes live and runs on setpoints somebody typed in two years ago. The battery sits full while the gensets run. The solar gets curtailed. The savings in the feasibility study quietly evaporate.
Planning tools assume perfect foresight.
Real life doesn’t give you that.
That’s the gap we close —
between the plan and the powerhouse.
PLAN IT
Community energy planning, feasibility studies, and the investment-grade analysis that makes a grant application pencil. We’ve helped partners win over $25M in federal implementation funding.
DESIGN IT
Microgrid architecture that balances fuel savings, resilience, and what your operators can actually maintain. ResilienceFIRST shows exactly how long you stay powered when things go sideways.
RUN IT
Redcloud EMS forecasts load and weather, then tells your existing controller what to do next. We don’t make the controller. We make it smart. Your operators get a dashboard, not another thing to babysit.
How long does your community stay powered?
Same generator, same fuel tank. Add solar and a battery, and the outage you have even odds of riding out gets 12 days longer.

How We Work
Your community sets the goals, we listen.
We bring the modeling, design, and controls to get there, then stick around after commissioning to make sure the system delivers what the study promised.
