Utility Company Incentives and Financing

Utility companies in New England and NY are leading the way in helping organizations achieve a higher level of energy efficiency by providing incentives geared toward lowering the cost of energy efficiency projects.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Once we have determined the potential savings and costs associated, most customers begin to evaluate the cost of the project vs. their return on investment. On average, our solutions are able to save the typical organization between 10% and 60% off of their annual utility expenses.

Let's assume that your annual utility expenses were $100,000 per year. Let's also assume that you we were able to implement a lighting or HVAC control system that will save 20% per year. In the first five years, your organization would save $100,000. If the solution costs $30,000, you would still save $70,000 and your system would be paid for in 18 months! 		 
     
 

Return on Investment Example

 

Keep in mind that these incentives help reduce the overall cost and can ensure a very quick return on your investment. The following is an example of a utility company incentive on a project with cost savings/ROI:
   
Lighting Control System: $125,000
Utility Company Paid: $052,000
Customer Paid via Savings: $072,500
   

Once the system is up and running, our customer saved a minimum of $2500/month in electrical costs. Guardian's Savings Payment option allows the customer to pay based upon the cost savings over a set period of time. The total payment does not exceed the annual cost savings.

 

In this case, the customer paid for the new system through savings in 29 months. On top of this cost savings, the company was also able to take a tax credit for the fiscal year that the new system went into service.
