Warehouse Lighting and the Pennsylvania power rate increases

Generally speaking this is often overlooked, but in light of the recent rate increases in Pennsylvania this is now taking a priority for many businesses.

Many citizens and businesses in Pennsylvania were greeted with a dramatic electric rate increase. The problem is that this rate increase comes at a time of fairly extreme economic difficulties for many companies. .

So what’s the solution?

As noted above, an overlooked part of the electric bill (and fairly expensive one) is warehouse lighting. In recent years there has been more and more advanced technology regarding lighting, and to make this more attractive there are currently many tax benefits and a cost reduction program that come from the power company themselves.

In a nutshell a significant part of the cost of upgrading to energy efficient lighting for your warehouse may be offset by these programs.

Aelux can assist you though the entire process and reduce your electric bills by taking advantage of the existing programs. You really have nothing to lose by exploring this option.

The alternative of course is to continue to pay the huge increase from the electric companies with no reduction in power usage to offset the increased rates.

It’s typically a pretty clear cut option, see what a firm like Aelux can do for you and your company. If the solution presented will reduce your monthly power bill, and due to the tax benefits and financial assistance from the power companies reduce your total cost, then clearly it’s something that your company needs to explore.

Energy Efficiency Programs Are Expanding

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has created incredible opportunities for energy savings. More and more areas of the country now have rebates available for commercial lighting upgrades. Organizations in 42 states currently have rebate programs available for energy efficiency lighting in commercial buildings.

Buildings in thousands of municipalities across the US are now eligible for lighting efficiency rebates from state organizations and local utilities. Programs like these provide customers with incentives to upgrade inefficient lighting systems to new energy efficient ones. The incentives range anywhere from $.50 per lamp to $450 per fixture and include lights such as T8 lamps, as well as LED exit signs, sensors and more.

Pennsylvania Utility Commission Approves Three Energy Conservation Plans

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Aelux has been continuously monitoring events related to Pennsylvania’s Act 129 which requires each of the seven major Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs) in Pennsylvania to adopt a plan to reduce energy demand and consumption within its service territory. The minimum saving requirements for each EDC is 1% by May 2011 and 3% by May 2013.

The Pennsylvania Utility Commission (PUC) has now approved three of the plans – Allegheny, PECO and PPL Electric Utilities Corp.

The approved Energy Efficiency and Conservation plans (EE&Cs) include various programs for commercial, industrial, government and non-profit customers to increase energy efficiency and conservation efforts that the Aelux team is exploring so as to make them available to every customer who qualifies.
