Did you know that industrial facilities can achieve substantial energy savings through simple, low- to no-cost changes? We explore the main ways commercial and industrial facilities can reduce energy use in our recent post: https://lnkd.in/dcFQzMKC Here are some key takeaways: Focus on the facility first: Before purchasing carbon credits or investing in offsite renewables, look at your brick-and-mortar locations. There's trapped value in bloated energy costs! The human element is crucial: Even state-of-the-art systems can be underutilized without proper training and processes. Financial gains are significant: Companies like Sysco have reduced energy intensity by 40%, effectively getting years of free energy. Combine tech and behavior: From VFDs to sensor calibration, small changes add up to big savings. Electrification is key: Industrial heat pumps are emerging as a game-changer in reducing GHG emissions. Data analytics and AI are transforming energy management: Real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance are revolutionizing efficiency. Leadership buy-in is essential: Bold proposals and structured programs can turn executive mandates into actionable outcomes. The goal? Not just net-zero, but absolute zero emissions with transformative reductions in energy intensity and clean onsite generation. It's ambitious, but achievable. #IndustrialEfficiency #EnergyManagement #Sustainability #CleanEnergy

In our final episode of the Pain Point series - we review the 3 primary financing paths for commercial solar/storage systems. The discussion navigates the pros, cons, and critical considerations of each. Here's the short of it: Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eG-puhzM 1. Self-Financing: Self-financing involves using your own balance sheet to fund your energy projects. The major advantage here is ownership, which means reaping the full future savings and tax incentives. For instance, utilizing the 30% tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act. However, this requires an initial capital outlay that might tie up funds needed for other areas of the business. 2. Debt Financing: Debt financing can be spread over time, mitigating the need for a significant upfront investment. There are both secured and unsecured loans. Secured loans, such as those under Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs, offer benefits but come with the caveat of a lien on your property. Unsecured loans might have higher interest rates, increasing overall costs. 3. Trade-Offs and Risks: One must carefully weigh the benefits of retaining ownership and the capacity for higher tax incentives against the new debt obligations, which add to the monthly expenses and the liabilities on your books. These obligations are justified only if the savings on energy costs outweigh the debt service. 4. Capital Leases: This option allows for consistent monthly payments while keeping the asset on your balance sheet – enabling tax advantages while not having to put up the entire investment upfront. Incorporating new energy systems is not fundamentally a technological or capital challenge, it is also about aligning stakeholders within the organization and strategically utilizing the available capital for long-term financial benefits. Ultimately, energy projects are strategic investments with significant long-term gains. By understanding the financial frameworks, we can better align our financial decisions with our business values and commercial goals. #energytransition #solarenergy #solarfinance
