Regulatory clock
A minor-source path runs on a statutory clock measured in months, against 270 days plus public process for a major new source.
Fabric is a portfolio of small behind-the-meter blocks built inside operating industrial sites. Each block is engineered to stay on the fast regulatory clock, to be delivered in months, and to be redeployed if a tenant changes plans.
Fuel, a fleet of small reciprocating units, paralleling switchgear, a metered point of delivery, and your load. Redundancy and ride-through are options bolted onto that line.
Design standards, not a quotation. Every number is confirmed against the specific site, ambient conditions, fuel quality and your load profile before it appears in a term sheet.
| Parameter | Design standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Block size | 1–20 MW net | Sized in ~1.9 MW increments; multiple blocks per site where land and permit allow |
| Prime mover | Lean-burn reciprocating gas | Fast start, granular maintenance, holds heat rate at part load, redeployable |
| Net heat rate | ≤ 8,500 Btu/kWh HHV | At full load and site conditions; part-load curve provided per configuration |
| Availability classes | Flex ~95% · Balanced ~99% · Firm 99.9%+ | Class is contracted per block; Firm requires N+1 on the generation train |
| Capacity measurement | Net at the point of delivery | Design summer ambient, after parasitic load and step-up losses |
| Fuel | Wellhead, CNG, renewable diesel/HVO, or local network | Bridge fuel available at rungs 01–02; contracted separately and passed through |
| Grid interface | Behind the meter | No interconnection queue; islanded operation with optional grid backup where available |
| Air permitting | Minor-source path targeted | Engineered to the threshold; attainment status and aggregate-site treatment screened first |
| Commercial form | Tariff or dry lease | Capacity plus energy, or a dry lease where the customer wants to operate |
| Tenor | Short to medium | Shorter tenor is priced against redeployment risk, not penalised arbitrarily |
Fabric is not a scaled-down campus. It sits on land whose industrial cost basis is already sunk, and small enough to avoid the processes that make large projects slow.
A minor-source path runs on a statutory clock measured in months, against 270 days plus public process for a major new source.
Behind the meter means no interconnection study, no queue position and no dependence on a transmission upgrade you do not control.
Units move. If a tenant changes plans the asset goes to another site or back to field service.
Yard, water, road access, gas and workforce already exist on an operating site.
Small is not a compromise on this fabric. It is the reason the block exists at all — and the reason it can be energized while a campus is still in review.
