DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaim Energy Advisors created GenMAX to help its customers remain fully powered during grid emergencies, and to earn significant revenue and utility savings through demand response programs. In 2013, Pat Lobb Toyota dealership in Dallas, Texas became the first Acclaim customer to benefit from GenMAX.
Power outages at critical times can cripple an auto dealership. In today's interconnected world, power reliability is essential not only to maintain a safe and comfortable customer environment, but also to confirm loan applications, process service orders, and perform repairs. Over several years, the frequency and duration of power outages at Lobb Toyota increasingly cost business because of seemingly continuous road construction, weather events and other factors. Loss of power brought operations to a standstill and resulted in lost customer sales. Lobb Toyota was determined to correct this problem by installing whole-house standby generation, but wanted to do so in a sustainable and cost effective manner.
Acclaim's GenMAX provided the perfect solution for Lobb Toyota with a high efficiency, top emissions rated diesel generator system and parallel switchgear, services that include continuous maintenance and monitoring, and revenues and utility savings from Acclaim's integrated demand response and power supply management program. Revenues and utility savings from this program pay for the equipment and services over a seven year period, and effectively offset more than 50% of utility costs. The system maintains 36 hours of fuel at all times and can respond to an outage within 10 seconds.
Key benefits of GenMAX to Lobb Toyota include:
- Reliability to operate through extended outages
- Effectively minimizes costs of energy and reliability
- Attractive revenue and utility savings streams
- Leverage to minimize costs in future power supply contracts
As demand for stable, reliable electricity continues to grow, expect innovative smart energy programs like these to become a more compelling option for more and more commercial and government electricity customers in Texas, and across the country.
