Finding more revenue in your budget usually means cutting services. Not so with energy. Every energy dollar you save through conservation measures is a dollar you can use for capital improvements that generate more utility savings, reduce environmental impact, and improve occupant comfort levels. Schneider Electric can find hidden revenue in nearly any operating budget. It lies within the energy spend. We put that hidden revenue to work by implementing more efficient lighting, energy management systems, HVAC systems, water fixtures, boilers, chillers, cooling towers, and more. With performance contracting, you can finance it risk-free with your energy savings over time. If for some reason you don t achieve the estimated savings, Schneider Electric pays the difference. Where is the money? Our expertise is in uncovering hidden revenue and putting it to work to generate more funds for the city. Every situation is unique, but your solution could include some or all of the following: > Energy Conservation Measures Smart solutions include energy management systems, lighting retrofits, and mechanical and HVAC upgrades. > Energy Procurement Services We ll help you negotiate the best terms with any energy supplier, even if you are locked into a contract. > Revenue Generating Measures Is the city receiving all the revenue it is due? Accurate water metering and other measures can increase your income. > Renewable Energy Solutions Solar photovoltaic solutions can cut energy costs by 80 percent. Wind energy and electric vehicle charging stations also reduce expenses. We can even design, build, operate, and maintain an alternative energy-generating facility on your property and then guarantee production and rates. > Rebate, Incentives, and Tax Credits We ll help you determine the environmental and economic feasibility of any project, including how to leverage rebates, incentives, and tax credits offered by utilities and govenments. We ll also help evaluate financial vehicles such as performance contracts and power purchase agreements. Systems integration saves up to 36% on operating costs.
