Economics of Poles vs. Containers

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Economics of Poles vs. Containers

3 or more poles → On-site generation

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Economics of Poles vs. Containers

3 or more poles → On-site generation Gas vs. Renewables:

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Economics of Poles vs. Containers

3 or more poles → On-site generation Gas vs. Renewables: ▪ Fuel source costs ▪ Fuel supply line ▪ Renewables incentives
