The 238-acre Missionary Learning Center is located in a rural setting near Richmond, VA alongside a 15-acre lake. Since the center opened in 1984, more than 10,700 new International Mission Board missionaries have trained there. The center includes housing, other community facilities, a school for missionary children and also offers training for missionaries throughout their careers and returning short-term workers.

In 2007, Northside Electric was tasked with the design/build of a standby power system that would allow the campus to continue their day-to-day activities and training with zero interruptions during power outages. The main hurdle to overcome was the requirement of power the campus grid needed with high voltage electricity for distribution to widely dispersed facilities.

Working with Bay Power Solutions and Generac Power Systems, Northside worked out a way to use four standard Generac 500kW gensets in an MPS configuration, in conjunction with a step-up transformer. This solution enabled faster delivery and significantly lower cost than available and more orthodox alternatives.
