Webinar | When the grid isn’t enough with HiVolt Energy

Deploying Microgrids With Gas Generators & Batteries

Full webinar recording now available to watch on-demand.


As grid constraints, long interconnection timelines, and reliability concerns become increasingly common, operators across industries are turning to hybrid systems that blend conventional generation with battery storage to deliver reliable, efficient, and scalable power.

In this session, GridVest Managing Partner Alex Shoer and HiVolt Energy COO Tyler Beard went beyond theory — sharing operational experience, real project examples, and lessons learned from live deployments.

Key Takeaways

Here are some of the practical insights covered in the session:

  • Batteries smooth transient loads so generators operate more efficiently, reducing wear, fuel burn, and emissions.

  • Integrating batteries often means fewer generators are needed onsite, lowering upfront capex and ongoing maintenance costs.

  • In real-world deployments, battery integration has delivered paybacks in ~2 years through operational savings.

  • Proper load sizing upfront is critical — oversizing generators can create economic and performance tradeoffs in these systems.

  • Hybrid gas + battery microgrids are helping operators unlock capacity years faster than waiting on utility upgrades.

These insights are illustrated with examples from HiVolt Energy’s deployments across oil & gas and data center sites — providing both tactical lessons and strategic guidance.
