Our Client Couldn’t Wait to Capture $5.6M in Accelerated Cash Flow

How Energy Management Collaborative (EMC) Helped Speed Up the Project Timeline
“Good things come to those who wait.”
So goes the old saying. It may be good advice for many situations, but not when you can generate the kind of numbers our banking client did by speeding up their project timeline.
A national banking system with more than 1,200 branches had planned to convert 200 locations to LED lighting over a 10-year period and retrofit the remaining locations gradually.
They came to EMC for help and our analysts instantly recognized a significant opportunity. They discovered that retrofitting all 1,204 branches within one year, rather than spreading it out over a decade, would generate $5.6 million in incremental cash flow.
That substantial amount of savings was the result of accelerating the kilowatt-hour reductions that would have been realized gradually under the original timeline.
Our client recognized that this was an opportunity they shouldn’t pass up and decided to invest in doing all of their branches in a single year. Using EMC’s proprietary EnergyMAXX® system, we were able to leverage competitive advantages in project prioritization, auditing, and rapid deployment at scale.
Most energy management companies would have been happy to work with an extended schedule, but we saw an opportunity for our client to benefit from accelerating the process. And because we can scale quickly, EMC not only delivered the project on schedule, but we also helped the client capture $5.6 million in accelerated cash flow that they strategically invested into additional energy efficiency initiatives across their entire portfolio.
