Who Benefits From
Distributed Energy?
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM DISTRIBUTED
ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Rising Energy Costs Affect Nearly Every Property Type Electricity costs are projected to rise significantly across many U.S. markets over the coming years. For property owners, operators, and facility managers, rising utility expenses can negatively impact operating budgets, net operating income (NOI), competitiveness, and long-term asset value.
Distributed energy solutions—including battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar energy systems,
microgrids, and energy management strategies—can help organizations reduce costs, improve resilience, create new revenue opportunities, and better control future energy expenses.
REV Energy Ventures helps owners evaluate, develop, implement, and manage distributed energy
projects that create measurable business value.
