Remco Energy Offers Advice on What Every CFO Needs to Know About the Utility Company's Cash Register...

Your electric meter is the utility company's cash register; make sure you only pay for what you consume and nothing more. If the utility company uses the wrong current transformer/ potential transformer or an improper register ratio is assigned the meter could be using 100% more electricity then your store consumes.

(PRWEB) March 14, 2008 -- Most companies and individuals assume that the meter in their store is registering accurately and that they are paying for the electricity they actually consume.

While most experts will tell you that electricity is the most accurately measured commodity. It is only accurate if the utility company chooses the right meter and assigns the proper multiplier based upon the size of your stores electrical service. In order to understand how utilities overcharge you must know how a meter works. You can think of an electric meter as a box through which electricity flows and in the process leaves a record of how much energy was delivered. The meter uses two values which it senses, electrical pressure metered in volts and electric current measured in amps. The meter takes the product of these two values and multiplies it by the power factor and over time this equals kilowatt hours...

RETAILERS WHO GO GREEN SAVE TREES!

(Princeton, NJ) June 4, 2008 -- Have you ever driven down the highway late at night and see a mall that’s all lit up and you know the stores are closed? How about an empty parking lot by a strip center with all of the lights left on?

Did you know that when store lights and parking lot lights are left on all night, often the source of this power generates carbon dioxide emissions – because 90% of all power generation plants in this country are either fired by coal or natural gas?

One company’s solution: In Princeton New Jersey there is an energy consulting company called REMCO Energy who recently teamed up with an energy monitoring equipment manufacturer to help eliminate these wasteful carbon dioxide emissions.

Mary Ann Milsop Founder and CEO of REMCO Energy, explains that through extensive analysis of their retail clients utility bills and store operations, they are able to determine which locations are using excessive amounts of electricity. By installing energy monitoring systems in these specific problem locations we are able to significantly reduce the misuse of electric power and thus reduce excessive carbon dioxide emissions.

Case in point: One client, a national retail chain, just by eliminating unnecessary lighting, reduced their annual kilowatt hour by 208,285. That’s a reduction of 156 tons of CO 2 emissions a year, and the equivalent of 781 more trees in the forest! The added bonus was that by cutting back, this retailer actually received a $2,600,000 dollar win fall...
