- Energy efficiency improvements result in near-term cost savings
that can be reinvested to purchase on-site electric generating
assets.
- On-site power systems offer long-term and highly reliable supplies
of low/no pollution electricity that hedge against rising power
costs, particularly during peak periods.
- Controlling energy costs can be a strategic, competitive edge
- combining efficiency and on-site generation increases scale
and economic benefits.
- Environmental benefits of energy conservation, CHP and renewable
energy include reduced air emissions known to create adverse health
effects and contribute to smog and global climate change.
- Robust markets for "green tags" or renewable energy
credits (RECs) are emerging and will increase the upside of investing
in solar power.
- Incorporating efficiency upgrades with on-site power projects
shortens the combined payback, enhances project "financability"
and can result in net positive cash flow.
- Increased efficiency, CHP and renewable energy help lessen
the depletion of natural resources and reduce our dependence on
politically destabilizing foreign sources of fuel.
- Energy conservation and clean sources of power have a strong,
common sense appeal that resonates with customers, employees,
shareholders and the public.
