ESCO Case Study
ESCO - Energy Efficiency Case Study: Smarte Energy Management System ESCO Project
The company applied for TurSEFF financing to establish energy management systems in CarrefourSA stores. CarrefourSA and Smarte signed a 5-year Energy Performance Contract for 550 stores located in various regions of Turkey. The proposed energy efficiency aims to reduce electricity consumption through appropriately managed HVAC usage in stores. The goal is to provide a win-win solution to the end-user (CarrefourSA) benefiting from reduced energy consumption in stores without taking any financial and technical risks, through a shared savings ESCO model.
The project aims to reduce energy consumption by 30% annually. With the implementation of this project, the energy savings from electricity will result in an annual financial saving of €1,357,166 and a 15% reduction in CO2e carbon emissions.
