Energy Efficiency
Companies use energy every day for their office operations, heating and cooling systems, lighting, manufacturing processes and much more. Companies rely on energy to maintain their core operations. To sustain energy resources, individuals and companies need to use them wisely. The careful management of these resources includes reductions in total energy use and the more energy efficiency. Choices on how to use energy, for example turning off machines when not in use and the usage of energy efficient technology, have an increasing impact on the quality of the environment and everyone's lives.Energy efficiency includes changes in behavior that result in the use of less energy whereas energy efficiency involves the use of technology that requires less energy. A compact fluorescent light bulb that uses less energy to produce the same amount of light as an incandescent light bulb is a good example of energy efficiency. The decision to replace an incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent is an example of energy conservation.
CPower offers a variety of programs that reward clients for energy efficiency initiatives, which can improve ROI on energy projects, reduce facility operating costs, benefit society and promote energy efficient businesses. CPower energy efficiency programs include:
- Incentive Programs
Programs from New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Consolidated Edison (ConEd) that enable companies to earn money from implementing energy related upgrades or projects that encourage a permanent reduction in the demand for energy. - Other Demand Resources
Resources that compensate electricity end-users based on their project's demand reduction value, including energy efficiency, load management and distributed generation projects. - Energy Efficiency Credits
The creation and monetization of environmental credits for projects aimed at energy efficiency and renewable energy.
