Utility Products Magazine
ELITEpro Shows California How to Get the Biggest
Bang for Their Energy Buck,
October 2006

Conley

Incentive Program (SGIP) to encourage business owners--as well as
homeowners--to install solar power, wind turbines, micro turbines, engines or
fuel cells to ease their demand on the state's strained electrical grid. DENT's
ELITEpro helped make sure that the state knew exactly what it was paying

plain expensive, they are not always easily understood. Added power factor
penalty and peak demand charges on top of the energy charge can drive operating
costs through the roof. Facility managers and their staff are now finding
themselves beset with questions about why the energy bills are so high. And as
a result, there is a real sense of urgency...
