ESU Energy partnered with a Fortune 100 processing plant for an Alpha project test. The objective was to save them a minimum of 10% on their power bill. This plant had an existing Automatic PFC bank already placed at the main disconnect giving the plant a PF of 0.98. There were 8 loads that were 1000′ away from the Automatic PFC equipment. By placing our Power Optimization system downline at the load, we increased the savings at this facility by an additional 7.27% on their electric bill. 

While we didn’t meet the 10% savings objective and notified the client accordingly, they were thrilled with the results. The test had met their internal criteria of an ROI in less than 12 months. It was 3-month ROI!

The client then contracted an additional three locations to perform a Beta project test on. Again, we sized and engineered the PFC units appropriately and strategically placed them as close to the loads as possible to maximize the ROI. This resulted in more than double the savings on two of the facilities and exceeded the initial goal of 10% reduction in power required on the third.  

To verify these savings, the client contracted with an independent third-party provider to come in and do an extensive power analysis survey of our engineered solution. They couldn’t share the details of the independent study. However, they did arrange a meeting with their US corporate engineering team about partnering with their network about duplicating the results.

This is the power of utilizing a strategic partner for your energy solutions.
