سن رافائل و کنکورد، کالیفرنیا - Bay Area businesses are plugging in to clean energy with MCE’s Strategic Energy Management program. To date, MCE has provided $650,000 to nearly 70 businesses in Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Solano counties to support energy efficiency projects that save them an average of $34,000 a year.
"Working with an energy coach [through MCE’s program] helped us identify dozens of opportunities to reduce our energy usage and save money. Most notably, they recommended a design change on a refrigeration system upgrade that ultimately saves us 8% on operating costs,” said PJ Quesada, Vice President of Ramar Foods, a family-owned Filipino food manufacturer in Pittsburg, CA.
The no-cost energy management program provides businesses and nonprofits:
- A dedicated expert to find options that best fit the business or organization,
- A site walk-through with an energy coach and an engineer to identify energy-saving opportunities,
- Rebates for lighting, motor upgrades, refrigeration, and water heating equipment, and
- Custom-calculated incentives for larger, complex projects.
MCE expects to reduce an estimated 148,000 megawatt–hours of energy consumption, equivalent to taking 23,340 gas-powered cars off the road, and provide roughly $148 million in benefits over the next eight years.
“Participating in our Strategic Energy Management program is a smart and easy choice for local businesses,” said Alice Havenar-Daughton, MCE’s Vice President of Customer Programs. “Businesses can save 3-15% on their energy bills with little to no capital investment, making it a win-win for their bottom-line and the planet.”
“Not only are we saving thousands on our energy bills, we are prolonging the life of our equipment by tweaking our operating habits,” added Quesada. “We also used some of the rebates from MCE – over $14,000 so far – to keep on investing in our business. We have to do everything possible to make sure that we can stay competitive, and the energy management program played a central role in this effort.”
