Powering Communities With Smarter, More Resilient Energy
A turnkey program that helps towns and utilities deploy solar, storage, and grid-resilient infrastructure.
A Resilience Program Designed for Local Communities
Power Towns is Ovanova’s partnership model for towns, cooperatives, and small utilities that want to strengthen their energy systems quickly and affordably. We help your community analyze needs, identify the highest-value opportunities, and deploy the right mix of solar, storage, smart controls, and distributed energy assets.
Our goal: more reliable, more flexible, more resilient power for the people you serve.
We help utilities and towns unlock value from:
Smart load shedding
Peak shaving and demand management
Load shifting
VAR support
Grid infrastructure cost mitigation
EV charging + V2G integration
CAIDI / SAIFI / SAIDI / PBR / PIM performance insights
(where applicable)
With your full support, a complete analysis can be completed in under a month.
High-Value Strategies, Delivered Fast
In just a few focused sessions, we help your team identify where meaningful improvements can be made—quickly and effectively.
Peak Shaving
We analyze your load profile to identify high-demand periods and help you reduce strain on your infrastructure. The result is lower costs, greater efficiency, and less need for reactive investments.
Load Shifting
By adjusting when energy is used—not just how much—we help you make smarter use of existing capacity. This approach can improve stability, reduce risk, and open the door to new value streams.
Grid Infrastructure Deferral
Instead of defaulting to capital expansion, we explore how targeted resilience investments can reduce or delay the need for large infrastructure upgrades—saving time and resources.
EV and V2G Integration
We help you assess how electric vehicles and bidirectional charging can serve not just your customers, but your grid. Smart V2G strategies can turn load into value and build flexibility into your network.
Reliability Metric Analysis
Where applicable, we review metrics like CAIDI, SAIDI, and SAIFI to understand how your system performs today and how proposed changes will be measured. We help translate these insights into clear, board-facing recommendations that support strategic investment.
This is practical, community-centered work—grounded in your utility’s real infrastructure and focused on delivering measurable results.
Do It With You, Not For You
Our approach is based on knowledge transfer. After the initial analysis, we equip your internal team to pursue grants and direct-pay incentives, engage community leadership, and integrate new technologies into your existing systems.
We also help you prepare your organization to manage and maintain resilience assets in-house—lowering long-term costs and creating new roles for local workers.
Hands-On Support.
Long-Term Independence.

What It Takes to Begin
We start with brief conversations with:
-
Engineering / Infrastructure
To understand your grid, loads, and development roadmap.
-
Finance + Legal leads
To ensure your leadership has the clarity needed to evaluate the opportunity and present it to the board.
After that, we handle the heavy lifting.

Why Now
You already own your grid. You already manage your operations. You likely already have dollars set aside for infrastructure and resilience.
Power Towns exists to help you turn that capacity into measurable, lasting impact—with fewer delays and more local control.
