Standby generation provides electricity in the event of a power outage and thereby enhances service reliability on critical loads. Jackson Electric Cooperative offers for sale a full line of generation and switchgear products. Standby generation can be sized for any application — residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural. Our staff will provide technical assistance to help you identify critical loads and motor starting amperages, in order to determine the current equipment needed for your application.

In the case of some applications, like large commercial and industrial loads, a standby generator may allow you to enter a special agreement with the cooperative. If the generator can be called upon to produce electricity during times of peak demand on the utility grid, there is a possibility that we can lower your energy costs. Since utility system peak demand determines a large portion of the cost of electricity, a mutually beneficial arrangement may qualify your facility for a lower electrical rate.
