Drive applications, which account for nearly two thirds of industrial electricity use, represent one of the biggest opportunities for electricity and cost savings. Savings of up to 30 percent can be achieved within drive applications. The projects are structured so that only a portion of the savings are used for the service rate and the rest of the savings remains as a direct benefit for the customer.
Energy Performance Contracting entails low risk in the project development phase and offers strong savings certainty. All this makes Siemens Energy the perfect partner for your next energy efficiency project!
