Full Description

Ask utility managers what their biggestexpense is after staffing, and they willreply without hesitation that it's energy. Ifenergy costs could be reduced even a little,it would result in significant benefits forthe utility. Using energy optimizationtechniques, utilities can reduce their operatingcosts, lower their greenhouse gasemissions, and reduce energy use in theirfacilities - all of which also contribute tolong-term sustainability of energyresources. Energy optimization and costsavings go hand in hand, and smallchanges can have a big payoff. Energyaudits, power monitoring, equipmentefficiency, and improved operational efficiencyare valuable tools utilities can useto optimize energy use. Such strategies arenot only good business - they are alsogood for the environment.
