Lime Energy was recently awarded a major regional energy efficiency upgrade contract with United States Cold Storage Inc (USCS). The contract involves lighting and lighting automation control retrofits at the company’s six facilities in Texas. Once completed, the project is expected to save USCS about $225,000 per year by reducing its electrical consumption by 1.7 million kilowatt-hours.

Working with the local utility, Lime Energy has secured and will administer approximately $45,000 worth of incentives that will offset capital expenditures by USCS. This project comes after implementation of similar projects at each of the USCS facilities in California in 2006. Those projects cumulatively reduced energy consumption by almost 1 million kWh per year, saving USCS $120,000 annually.
