SALT LAKE CITY - s4story -- In its 2026 Summer Reliability Assessment, released May 19, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation reported that load growth has increased by 11 GW since 2025. That builds on 10 GW the prior year, which itself doubled the 2023 to 2024 increase.

For manufacturers and industrial operators, downtime is unbilled production. A turbine or generator set closes that exposure, but it competes with everything else in the capital budget. Paying cash for standby capacity leaves less available for the work that generates revenue.

Equipment Leases, Inc. funds the full project scope, including equipment, shipping, installation, commissioning, and warranties. Working capital stays in production rather than tied up in equipment that runs only during an outage.

"We understand that even strong, bankable companies often don't get everything they need from their banks. That's where we come in, to help them grow responsibly and achieve more," said Buddy Zarbock, CEO and Founder of Commercial Funding Partners.
