Making ROom for the next generation

Mason Denius’ career shows what can happen when young professionals are given the opportunity to learn and lead.

A few years ago, Mason Denius walked into TransTech Energy as a college intern with no background in propane and no expectation that it would become his career.

Today, at 24 years old, he is an Associate Project Manager trusted with customers, complex projects and responsibilities that continue to grow. At any given time, he can have 40 to 50 projects moving through different stages.

His path from intern to project manager happened quickly, but it did not happen by accident. Mason was given the opportunity to learn the business from the ground up, spend time with experienced people in the field and take on more responsibility as his knowledge grew.

Now, he is one of a growing number of young professionals building careers at TransTech Energy, and an example of what can happen when companies make room for the next generation.

Behind the meter: On-site power is rewriting the rules, and it all runs on fuel

On-site generation is solving the electricity problem. But the megawatts are only half the story, the other half is fuel.

Somewhere on your facility sits a utility meter. Easy to walk past, but that unassuming box marks the front line of the biggest shift underway in energy: who makes your power, and where. Everything on the utility’s side is “in front of the meter.” Everything on yours is behind it, and behind the meter is suddenly where the action is.

For decades, behind-the-meter power meant a backup generator that coughed to life a few hours a year. No longer. Manufacturers, hospitals, campuses, mining and midstream operations, and, most visibly, data centers are designing on-site generation as primary or supplemental power. Why? Interconnection queues that stretch years. Demand charges that keep climbing. Grid congestion at the worst moments. Uptime the grid can’t promise. On-site generation puts the schedule, reliability, and cost structure back in the owner’s hands, and keeps the facility’s demand off the shared grid, where it would compete with the surrounding community. It’s no longer a workaround. It’s an energy strategy.
