The article lays out the stakes for commercial property owners but also provides a path forward, offering advice on generator sizing and fuel types, and laying out the benefits of propane-fueled units. “Propane’s distinction as a cleaner fuel is making propane generators more popular for commercial properties,” she writes. “Propane generators are ideal for more remote locations where other fuel sources might not be easily accessible.”
Whether you have a role in property or facility management or architecture and engineering, a foundational knowledge or standby power generation options is critical to make sure your projects maintain resilience in the face of of increasing power outages. Check out our Ultimate Guide to Power Generation to learn how propane-fueled generators can get the job done reliably, affordably, and with minimal environmental impact.
