West Coast logistics leader captures $100M in solar savings.
By deploying on-site solar across nine distribution hubs, this logistics giant locked in predictable energy costs, strengthened sustainability performance, and secured over $100M in long-term savings.
$100M in energy savings across 9 sites

in energy savings across 9 distribution hubs.
Through strategic solar deployment at nine locations–identified via a systematic down select supported by trucurrent—our logistics client has secured more than $100M in savings* through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). By locking in predictable rates, our client is hedging against volatile utility pricing while addressing sustainability goals.
*Projected energy savings across the assets’ useful life, based upon solar assets in operation or approaching permission to operate. Projected savings are based on each facility’s PPA and utility rate escalation assumptions.
Livermore: Smart Fleet Microgrid
Turning grid constraints into financial advantage
The Challenge
Utility Constraints Threatened Operations Faced with rising electricity rates and sustainability goals, a major west coast logistics company planned to electrify its fleet at Livermore after securing grant funding for trucks. But just as plans were underway, their electricity provider imposed grid restrictions, cutting access between 9 am and 9 pm—leaving a narrow window to charge trucks before overnight routes.
The Solution
Smarter Energy for Long-Term Savings trucurrent’s solution is a resilient, cost-effective system that gives our logistics client charging control, reducing reliance on an unpredictable grid andunlocking meaningful savings.
• Solar PV & BESS: On-site generation and storage reduces utility reliance and enables lower-cost charging—driving TCO below diesel. • EVSE: Charging infrastructure, integrated with solar, storage, and the utility’s flexible access program, enables on-site charging and reduces utility-rate exposure. • Microgrid Controls: Smart controls optimize charging timing, ensuringreal-time load flexibility and demand charge mitigation. • Utility Interconnection: Enables grid access—but only when combinedwith flexible assets and smart controls to take full advantage of it. Teaming with a terrific logistics leader, our team applied our breadth of knowledge to deploy a scalable, multi-asset solution that lowers TCO below diesel and delivers long-term advantage—including grant-compliant EVSE that unlocks $1M in incentives, guided by trucurrent’s policy expertise.
