Energy Strategies and Incentives for Existing Facilities

Running a business requires continual improvements to meet customer expectations, improve productivity, and control expenses. Energy efficiency is a key to reaching these critical success factors.

Innovative energy-efficient technologies offer business owners and operations managers numerous opportunities to enhance reliability and reduce energy use. High performance lighting systems, premium efficient motors, efficient heating/cooling, and updated mechanical systems quickly pay for themselves through improved performance and cost reductions.

At National Grid, we’re committed to offering practical and customized opportunities to upgrade the performance of existing equipment and systems.

Experienced energy efficiency professionals at National Grid can assist you to transform your business practices. We can then help defray some of the costs with incentives that reduce your overall costs for systems improvement and, at the same time, enhance your operations.

Upgrade

Think

Think Premium efficiency motors, variable speed drives, and improved compressed air systems are changing the way work gets done. This new generation of high performance equipment allows manufacturers to increase production, enhance reliability, and reduce energy consumption.

Best of all, plant managers gain greater control of the production process without compromising quality. Through consulting and financial incentives, National Grid makes it easy to increase production power with less energy.

Think Green Practicing green design allows your business to address the impacts of climate change. Better energy practices, enabled through innovative efficiency planning, not only reduce your operating costs, but make your business more sustainable for the long term.

Power

Productivity Think

A better visual environment and comfortable temperatures literally bring out the best in your people.

High efficiency lighting fixtures and controls coupled with better performing HVAC systems not only create an environment that is conducive to improved productivity, they consume up to 30% less energy.

Maximize the visual and thermal comfort of your facility with readily available technologies, while minimizing your costs with financial incentives from National Grid.

Think Benefits In addition to significant energy cost reductions, many smart energy choices also yield greater comfort for building occupants, allowing real improvements in productivity and morale.

And a smaller carbon footprint benefits the planet too.

Think

Energy-efficient technologies can make a big difference when they are cost-effective to implement.

That’s the basis for National Grid’s retrofit program, Energy Initiative.

Through this program, financial incentives and technical solutions are bundled together in several ways to enhance your operations: Incentives cover up to 45% of the equipment and labor costs of installing new, high performance equipment. These incentives accelerate the payback period and maximize the opportunity to reduce operating costs and enhance building value.

Technical studies identify the roadmap to better practices and how to get there by identifying opportunities for high performance equipment and quantifying the benefits from these investments.

We look forward to discussing your options for transforming the operations of your business through greater energy efficiency and better building practices.

Think Global Increasing energy efficiency not only saves money and improves productivity — it also addresses climate change and promotes the environmental call for action.

Think Real solutions demand solid plans.
