When it comes to managing energy costs, businesses must explore every opportunity to maximize efficiency. For companies within PPL Electric Utilities’ service territory, significant savings can be achieved through energy-efficient compressed air systems. PPL Electric offers valuable incentives to help businesses reduce their operational costs and environmental impact.
Compressed air is a vital yet expensive resource in many industrial facilities. Despite its importance, most compressed air systems operate at only 10-15% efficiency, leading to substantial energy waste. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, around 10% of a facility’s electricity is used to generate compressed air, and in some cases, this figure can exceed 30%.
The costs associated with compressed air are often hidden, as they are generated on-site and can be challenging to quantify. However, PPL Electric provides tools and resources to help businesses calculate and manage these costs more effectively.
One of the key resources available is the Compressed Air Calculator, which can be accessed on PPL Electric’s Business Savings Program website. This tool helps businesses understand their potential savings by optimizing the performance of their compressed air systems.
For Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) compressors that are 40 horsepower or less, PPL Electric offers a prescriptive method for calculating savings. This method is integrated into the calculator, making it easier for businesses to identify and quantify potential energy savings. Additionally, the calculator features tabs showing other components PPL can incentivize, whether sold separately or as part of a larger project.
PPL Electric’s Business Energy Efficiency Program offers incentives on various compressed air equipment, allowing businesses to:
These incentives are available to businesses within PPL Electric’s service territory, which covers a wide range of counties and municipalities across Pennsylvania.
A detailed list of the covered areas can be found on PPL Electric Service Territory document and the PPL Electric Customer Verification Zip Code List.
To take advantage of these incentives, businesses should work with a qualified contractor, like Compressor Maintenance Co. for assistance. The program also offers support with the application process, ensuring businesses can easily access the savings they are eligible for.
