The underlying value of our green systems will be identified at the beginning. IES collects information including the current consumption values and historical usage to include in the production of a precise simulation which generates data such as future consumption, individual rate of return and a tailored competitive analysis. The real value of this report is in ensuring the client is comfortable with their decision based on empirical evidence revealing the cost, savings and environmental benefit.
The demand for electricity over the next twenty years is expected to increase by one billion
kilowatt hours annually. However, carbon reduction legislation will likely prevent future coal
and natural gas fired plants from being produced. Moreover, additional nuclear plants could serve
as a supplement but will not begin construction, if approved, until 2017 and hydropower is a long
way away from producing the required amount of energy for utilities.
Couple this problem with the aging electric grid in NYC and the already inadequate level of power
will be diminished further as city residents suffer through rolling blackouts.
