CCP is a processing facility in Madera, California, that provides blanched, low-moisture whole and manufactured almonds for utilization in the almond milk and almond butter industries. Because their 65,000 square-foot plant consumes a huge amount of energy, CCP was looking for ways to increase the efficiency of their equipment. Their updates included a full HVAC upgrade funded through on-bill financing.
Imperion developed the on-bill financing (OBF) application and facilitated customer and contractor meetings to explain the OBF process. In addition, we performed all baseline and post-installation measurement and verification (M&V) activities that their utility company, PG&E, required to receive OBF approval. Through this effort, we were able to secure more than $519,000 in financing for project implementation. The project is slated to deliver $52,795 in annual energy cost savings with an annual energy savings of nearly 300K kWh.
