Case study: grocery
Raley’s replaced aging cogeneration at two stores with no money down
Raley’s stores need electricity, heating, cooling and refrigeration around the clock. Two stores had obsolete cogeneration systems. In 2011 Raley’s engaged ESD to design, deliver and commission a replacement 200 kW natural gas microturbine cogeneration system at each store.
65%of each store’s power now generated on site
$0out of pocket, through a power purchase agreement
$1.7M to $2.5Mprojected savings over 15 years
200 kWmicroturbine system per store
Each store also gained more reliable power and lower CO2 emissions, and uses PG&E power only for the remaining need.
