business-wise – it became a no-brainer for us." -Harvey Cohen, President, MAGID Glove & Safety
Medical Center Company (MCCo) - Cleveland
Type: Utilities
Size: 30 MWh Storage
The Medical Center Company (MCCo) in Cleveland is a district energy provider, supplying essential utilities like steam, electricity, and chilled water to the non-profit institutions in University Circle. They have strategically partnered to install a pilot iron slurry flow battery system integrated with their 1MW solar plant. This was a good idea because it enhances the reliability and resilience of their energy supply, crucial for supporting critical healthcare and educational facilities. The battery storage allows them to better manage intermittent renewable energy generation, optimize energy costs through demand management, and further their commitment to environmental responsibility by reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
ARCO/Murray
Type: Construction
Size: 250 kW Solar PV, 500 kW Storage
ARCO/Murray is a prominent design-build general contractor specializing in a wide range of commercial and industrial facilities, including manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and cold storage. 1 They installed a state-of-the-art solar and battery system at their new Downers Grove office, leveraging their own ARCO/Murray Power Solutions (AMPS) division for the project. 2 Installing battery storage was a smart decision because it allows them to maximize energy savings by storing excess solar power, provide reliable backup power for their operations, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainable construction practices. 3 This also aligns with their expertise in constructing energy-efficient and sustainable facilities for their clients.
AMS Industries
Type: Contractor
Size: 200 kW Solar PV, 500 kW Storage
AMS Industries is an MEP+ (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing plus industrial services) contractor. They are known for their involvement in large-scale battery storage projects, often partnering with companies like Advanced Microgrid Solutions. Installing battery storage was a smart strategic move for their industrial clients, as it enables significant energy cost savings through demand management and provides crucial backup power for critical operations. This also helps integrate more renewable energy and offers opportunities for participating in grid services.
Advanced Data Technologies
Type: Telecommunications
Size: 300 kW Solar PV, 1 MW Storage
Advanced Data Technologies is a telecommunications and cabling solutions provider, specializing in designing and installing structured connectivity solutions for networks. 1 Installing battery storage was a shrewd decision for them as it directly addresses the critical need for uninterrupted power supply in the data infrastructure they build and maintain. This ensures that their clients' networks remain operational even during grid outages, enhancing reliability and preventing costly downtime. Furthermore, battery storage allows for energy cost management through peak shaving and can support the integration of renewable energy, aligning with modern sustainability goals.
The Delong Company (9 Locations)
Type: Agriculture
Size: 3.3 MW Solar PV, 4.5 MW Storage
In a strategic move to protect the environment and optimize financial performance of the energy spend, The DeLong Company partnered with Intelligent Generation in 2023 to implement a multi-site portfolio of battery storage solutions across nine grain silo facilities. The project entailed the installation of nine Tesla 530 kW batteries, one at each site. Currently, eight of these batteries are fully operational, with the final installation schedule to start in summer 2024.
Convergence Energy is the developer of record for the projects, while Continental Energy Solutions provided the expertise for installation and construction of each battery system.
G&W Electric
Type: Manufacturing
Size: 2.4 MW solar PV, 2 MW Flow battery storage, 1 MW flywheel, 2 MW generator
In 2022, G&W Electric commissioned a large industrial microgrid at its headquarter and manufacturing site in Bolingbrook, IL. The microgrid is optimized and monetized by Intelligent Generation. IG deploys its POWR:Suite against its Earn, Save, Protect strategy with bill savings, resource revenue generation in the PJM wholesale market, and seamless backup to operations in the event of an outage.

Type: Manufacturing
Size: 3.5 MW solar PV, 2 MW storage
In 2019, MAGID built a 3.5 MW rooftop solar system, the largest of its kind in Illinois. In the course of the project, MAGID decided to add two batteries from TESLA Energy, managed by Intelligent Generation's POWR:Suite engine to enable microgrid backup for the site and accelerate payback through bill reduction strategies and participation in the wholesale market.
Type: Retail Microgrid
Size: 508 kW solar PV, 500 kW storage
In 2017 Intelligent Generation signed a long-term agreement with Chicagoland’s premier retailer Abt Electronics to maximize bill reductions and wholesale market revenues from energy management services.
Rock River Lumber & Grain
Type: Agriculture
Size: 0.6 MW solar PV, 500 kW storage
Rock River Lumber & Grain has opted in for a greener, more profitable future. As a key economic engine of Whiteside County for over 80 years, Rock River operates many grain storage silo and dryer facilities. These have a very uneven usage of electrical power along the season. Rock River decided to green its operations and manage its loads while at the same time generating cash revenue from their renewable investment. A combination of solar and energy storage was selected and deployed, managed for optimum value generation by Intelligent Generation.
Type: Office
Size: 50 kW solar pV, 100 kW storage
Continental Electrical Construction Company (CECCO) and Intelligent Generation developed a commercial-sized, smart solar energy system on the rooftop at CECCO's headquarters in Oak Brook, IL. The Continental building exemplifies cutting-edge conservation practices. Currently, the battery component of this system is in the middle of being upgraded and replaced. Once this process is complete, the Intelligent Solar software will continue to direct the new battery and PV system to maximize energy savings and provide back-up power.
