Success Story

Saving A Regional Supermarket $750,000 in One Year through Fiscal Control and Energy Conservation

SITUATION
The energy management program of a 53-store regional supermarket chain lacked direction and organization. The company's energy accounting was based strictly on cost rather than usage; energy bills were simply paid without being audited and historical consumption records were non-existent. In short, the company was not prepared to take advantage of the new opportunities presented by energy deregulation, With no on-staff resources to implement an energy program, management turned to energy expert Gary Markowitz for assistance.
