Auberge Resorts Turns to Reliable Power with New Generator Power Module
Mill Valley, CA – November 8, 2023 – Auberge Resorts LLC, known for its portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts, is quietly rolling out a new solution to ensure uninterrupted power for its discerning guests: a robust, in-house designed generator power module. While Auberge is famed for providing exceptional guest experiences, the company realized a key element often overlooked – consistent, dependable power – was critical to maintaining that standard. “Look, we’re in the hospitality business,” explains a spokesperson for Auberge Resorts, headquartered in Mill Valley, California. “People come to us to escape, to relax, to be pampered. The last thing we want is a power outage ruining a special occasion. It’s not just about keeping the lights on; it’s about ensuring climate control, maintaining the quality of food storage, and keeping all the amenities functioning smoothly.” For years, Auberge Resorts relied on traditional generator solutions, often involving large, noisy, and sometimes unreliable equipment. These systems required significant maintenance, frequent fuel deliveries, and often clashed with the serene, upscale atmosphere Auberge strives to create. “We’d get complaints about the noise, concerns about fumes, and honestly, just the general disruption,” the spokesperson admits. “We knew there had to be a better way.” That 'better way' came in the form of an internal initiative to develop a custom generator power module. After nearly two years of research, design, and testing, Auberge Resorts now boasts a solution uniquely tailored to the needs of its properties. What Makes This Power Module Different? The core of the innovation isn't about reinventing the generator, but how it's packaged and deployed. Instead of massive, centralized generators, Auberge opted for a modular approach. These modules, built in-house at their Mill Valley facility (reachable at 317-869-7879), are significantly smaller, more efficient, and quieter than conventional systems. “Think Lego blocks,” explains a lead engineer on the project. “We can add modules as needed to scale up power capacity. If a resort needs 500kW, we can deploy five 100kW modules. If they need 1MW, we use ten. It’s all about flexibility and redundancy.” Several key features set Auberge’s generator power module apart: Compact Design: The modules are roughly the size of a large refrigerator, making them easier to integrate into existing building infrastructure. This minimizes the need for dedicated generator rooms and reduces the visual impact on the resort grounds. Sound Dampening Technology: Auberge invested heavily in advanced sound dampening materials and engineering. The result is a unit that operates at a significantly lower decibel level than traditional generators, preserving the peaceful ambiance of its resorts. “Guests shouldn’t know we have a backup power system,” the spokesperson emphasizes. Fuel Efficiency: The modules utilize modern engine technology and optimized fuel management systems to minimize fuel consumption and reduce operating costs. Auberge is also exploring the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and battery storage, to further enhance sustainability. Remote Monitoring & Control: Each module is equipped with a sophisticated monitoring system that allows Auberge’s central engineering team to remotely monitor performance, diagnose issues, and perform preventative maintenance. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and ensures reliable power delivery. Parallel Operation & Scalability: The modules can be seamlessly connected in parallel, allowing Auberge to easily scale up power capacity as needed. This is particularly important for resorts that host large events or experience seasonal fluctuations in energy demand. Automatic Transfer Switching: The modules are integrated with automatic transfer switches, ensuring a seamless transition to backup power in the event of a utility outage. Guests won't even notice a flicker of the lights. Pilot Program Success & Rollout Plans The generator power module underwent a successful pilot program at Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford, California. Resort staff and guests alike praised the system’s quiet operation and reliable performance. Following the success of the pilot, Auberge Resorts has begun rolling out the modules to its other properties across the United States and beyond. “We’re not just selling luxury accommodations; we’re selling peace of mind,” says the spokesperson. “Knowing that we have a dependable, quiet, and efficient power backup system in place allows us to focus on what we do best – creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.” The company isn't currently planning to sell these modules commercially, preferring to keep the technology in-house as a competitive advantage. However, they haven’t ruled out the possibility in the future if demand warrants it.
