Solutions Overview

Microgrid architectures selected by operational need, not product alignment.

We start with load profile, uptime requirements, utility status, and site constraints. Then we align technology, financing, and delivery around project reality.

Fuel-cell systems

Data Center Microgrids

Our primary solution for mission-critical campuses needing schedule control, high reliability, and measurable emissions or water performance.

Typical architecture: high-efficiency fuel cells or equivalent, battery storage, and optional solar or heat recovery.

Delivery emphasis: feasibility-led design, integration planning, commissioning, and long-term operating support.

Dispatchable Biomass Power

A specialized pathway for projects where feedstock availability, permitting conditions, and operating profile support long-term fit.

When this fits: sites requiring controllable output with a validated fuel and compliance pathway.

Delivery emphasis: site-fit evaluation, compliance planning, and lifecycle accountability.

Financing Structures

Commercial structure is aligned to project constraints, counterpart risk, and long-term operating priorities rather than a fixed template.

Depending on fit, plans may include long-term energy services agreements, financing support, and phased investment pathways.

Availability: 100% financing can be available for qualified clients.

When Microgrids Are the Best Fit

  • Utility interconnection timelines create schedule risk
  • High reliability and power quality are non-negotiable
  • Water stewardship and emissions performance are priorities
  • Phased capacity growth is needed over time
  • Long-term economics favor on-site generation

When Biomass Power May Be Appropriate

  • Validated feedstock supply is locally available
  • Permitting conditions favor biomass over other generation
  • Controllable dispatchable output is a project requirement
  • Site-specific compliance pathways support long-term operation
  • Operating profile aligns with biomass fuel logistics

Power Infrastructure & Equipment

Beyond strategy, design, and project development, Lockwood provides and sources the critical infrastructure equipment that makes on-site power systems operational.

Generation Systems

  • Natural gas generator systems
  • Fuel cell power systems
  • Microgrid infrastructure
  • Modular power systems for data centers

Storage & Distribution

  • Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
  • UPS and electrical distribution infrastructure
  • Switchgear and electrical balance of plant
  • Transformers

Incentive & Tax Credits

Lockwood supports clients globally in identifying and structuring projects that may qualify for applicable investment tax credits, grants, and energy incentives.

The pathway is aligned to each jurisdiction's regulatory framework and developed to help reduce eligible capital cost on qualified infrastructure and equipment.

Approach: assumptions are modeled directionally and finalized through legal and tax advisor review.

How we decide what fits

Technology follows operating requirements, not standard product bundles.

We evaluate schedule risk, reliability targets, utility interfaces, water and emissions priorities, and long-term economics before final recommendations.

Scope is finalized only after feasibility, integration, and commercial structure are aligned.
