CHALLENGE
Looking to reduce energy usage and take advantage of available utility incentives, ELG Utica Alloys reached out to Fidelity Energy & Sustainability due to our extensive experience operating as a liaison to a local energy provider.
SOLUTION
Fidelity Energy & Sustainability conducted an energy audit, identifying a variety of cost and energy savings opportunities. A total of 1,349 lights were converted to high efficiency LED lights. The facility’s duct collection system was retrofitted to optimize performance.
RESULTS
Due to Fidelity Energy & Sustainability’s energy recommendations, ELG Utica Alloys’ energy savings increased to $216,305 per year. The conversion to LED bulbs cut wattage usage by over 50% per light fixture, representing 29% of their total annual energy savings. The company also earned a very short payback period of less than two years, resulting in additional savings.
