Private and Public Power Plants
IRC has opportunities for both private and public power plants. The market for private power is largely untapped as a result of the projected world demand for renewable energy by 2030 (energy increase of 206.4 Qbtu and $11.2 Trillion of new investment).
We offer complete private power plant solutions providing compelling returns for self-generation of electricity. IRC will OEM or resale micro turbines (250kw to 20MW) that produce clean reliable electricity, servicing multiple industries: commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, universities, medical centers, oil and natural gas, data and business centers, food and beverages, hospitality, and mining. IRC has also developed the capability to participate in the implementation of traditional public power (20MW to 100MW) for clean and dependable energy for communities.
Our process is to finalize the implementation and installation plans and costs for each new power solution. We additionally select the manufacturers, evaluate bids, further optimize the energy and financial models, and choose the vendors (if any) that will be sub-contractors of IRC. Below is an IRC implementation plan for Biomass and Waste-to-Energy (10WM to 20MW) power solutions.
