We specialize in world class energy solutions. So you can specialize in world class cultivation. We are Grow Energy, an energy services company whose sole focus is providing unique energy solutions to controlled environment horticulture projects.
We know being a successful cultivator of plants is an extremely complex process where light, temperature, humidity, CO2 levels – among numerous other factors – have to be continually monitored. That’s why you need a partner who understands the energy demands of year-round, intensive horticulture.
Grow Energy has partnered with industry stalwarts like AB to deliver the electricity, thermal requirements, and supplemental CO2 needed for lighting, ventilation, dehumidification, heating, cooling, thereby maximizing your growth potential.
Our combined team fully understands all related technologies and can confidently make energy efficiency recommendations that will decrease your project’s footprint leading to the correct mix of first costs and long-term operating costs.
From Project Management to Finance, we provide the infrastructure, services and know-how needed to power your dreams.
Experience matters. That’s why our experienced project management team is poised to handle feasibility, pre-engineering, site supervision, building integration, installation, commissioning and service agreements. This is all backed by our staff and suppliers’ collective experience in the construction and maintenance of Cogeneration plants.
AB brings the highest level of know-how and experience in pre-engineered cogeneration solutions. In fact, AB is the global leader in controlled environment horticulture Cogeneration. Their power plants – truly the workhorses trusted by growers throughout the industry – combined with our turn-key integration of Balance of Plant systems into fully operational Energy Centers, will ensure your crops won’t be exposed to disruptions from the grid and will instill peace of mind on Day 1.
We love details. In fact, appreciating the intricacies of the engineering, electrical cabling and connections, switchgear, permitting and grid interconnections is what makes us stand out. If you’re ready for a smooth integration, and a partner who has a deep understanding of crop cultivation, systems architecture and control strategy, you’re ready for Grow Energy.
The only line that matters is the bottom line. That’s why our finance team goes out of their way to create the most appropriate financing arrangements possible. So, no matter if you’re looking to purchase equipment or enter into a long-term power purchase agreement, your contract will be crafted under the watchful eyes of our energy-fluent accounting and legal team.
Continuous and efficient energy is the key to any successful controlled environment horticulture operation. Get powered with our Energy Centers, driven by AB’s innovative line of Ecomax power plants.
AB is a world leader in engineering, construction, commissioning and life-cycle maintenance of integrated cogeneration units. AB has many references and decades of experience in the Horticulture Industry.
EcoMax, A fully containerized cogeneration solution: Indoor Installation.
Sound attenuated enclosure designed for easy maintenance.
EcoMax only with the Jenbacher engine which is designed for natural gas.
Engine genset from Austria, pre-engineered and containerized in Italy.
Delivered to your site in the US designed to meet your power, thermal and emissions requirements.
Every EcoMax is fully assembled in the AB factory prior to delivery.
The highly efficient Ecomax: Outdoor Installation (EcoMax 12: 1.2 MW).
Available from 300 kW to 4.4 MW in single, containerized packages, or multiples to match the load profile.
Waste heat doesn’t have to be wasted. In fact – through cogeneration – otherwise wasted heat from electricity created on-site can now be repurposed to heat water rather than escaping to the atmosphere. In addition, hot water can be used for space heating or converted into chilled water for cooling and dehumidification.
Quad-generation – By using an Ecomax genset and the appropriate ancillaries we can simultaneously and efficiently generate: on-site electricity, useful heat, cooling and CO2 for the plants.
Crop Dehumidification – Humidity control is typically a growers biggest concern. Hot water can be used to re-concentrate liquid desiccants. Cold water can be used in dehumidification for condensing or to chill desiccants.
Absorption Chillers – Using a thermochemical process which consumes little electricity, where waste heat is available, they're ideal replacements for compressor based chillers.
Direct Heating – Greenhouses are excellent for light transmission but are poorly insulated and require significant heat at night.
We’re extremely nimble and able to create, source or partner to find the right solution. So no matter the project, we have the ideas and components to make your microgrid a success.
Thermal distribution & integration – Piping manifolds, pump skids, and cooling towers are all pre-engineered and packaged.
Thermal distribution & integration – Pre-engineered and packaged systems make on-site assembly a breeze, reduce overall project time and risk, and increase financeability.
Control systems – Critical for environmental controls, engine and lighting controls, metering of energy elements, invoicing, and even monitoring markets when power is sold or energy credits are accumulated.
Project Approach – Unique project through a systematic process.
This has 5 Jenbacher generators connected to 5 x 1100 Ton dual-fuel absorbers
Every project is unique. Depending on the scope and location, Grow Energy integrates the core components into an energy center with the cooperation of various regional engineers and contractors of multiple disciplines including civil, electrical, mechanical and environmental. Here are a few of our most trusted partners:
