33. Think Outside the Bulb Thank you Joe.
To sum up, there are many opportunities that a food manufacturing facility can look to for energy savings. After previewing just a few examples today, we hope to have shown that the opportunities expand to more than just lighting.
We call this “thinking outside the bulb” - while lighting may be the top of mind energy saving item, it is not the only measure to consider. Think about the things you do every day in your process and production. Consider what changes would make your business more efficient, faster, more productive or less costly. These changes could save you energy. Get us involved in the discussion and planning of these types of projects to help you identify the potential.
Again, If a project can demonstrate kWh savings, then there is a good chance it can be qualified for a rebate from PPL.
