Establish a more GREEN facility
As the nation's utility grid is stressed to the limit, there are social and legislative imperatives to reduce energy consumption.
Power factor correction enables your organization to become more environmentally responsible without reducing the amount of working power available.
This efficiency gain is a key part of energy reduction for organizations seeking certification in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) GREEN Building Rating System, the nationally accepted benchmark for design, construction and operation of GREEN buildings.
GREEN Benefits
PFC application provides:
It's now evident to see how much less fuel needs to be burned for the power plant to generate energy.

- Reduced I2R losses
- Less heat generation
- Less kVA draw
- Energy Savings
- Equipment Life Extension
- Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions (CO2)
- Points toward LEED certification
- 58 percent of carbon dioxide production (causing global warming),
- 66 percent of sulfur dioxide (acid rain), and
- 35.4 percent of nitrogen oxides (smog) comes from electric generation by utilities.
- SAVING 53,000 kWh per year would eliminate 54.6 barrels of oil !
Power factor correction not only saves money but also dramatically impacts the environment. According to the EPA,
