Pechanga Resort & Casino Wins Big with Energy Savings

From 2006 through 2013, energy-efficiency projects saved Pechanga more than $113,000 in energy costs and qualified them for a host of incentives, including an array of interior and exterior lighting upgrades and occupancy sensors. Pechanga also installed an energy management system to further increase their participation in the Demand Bidding Program, a demand response program that earned them over $867,000 in bill credits. In addition, using our free testing services to assess overall pumping performance, Pechanga recently installed more efficient pumps with variable-frequency drives to serve the hot and cold water needs at the hotel. With Time-Of-Use rates and Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) events in effect, it’s the perfect time to learn from this hotel’s energy-saving achievements and apply similar strategies to your business.

Demand Response Programs (DR)

With these programs, receive bill credits for temporarily reducing energy use upon request during periods of high-energy demand. Choose the ones that best fit your operational needs.

Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR)

Receive energy savings by using smart technology that effortlessly and temporarily reduces the amount of energy your business uses (known as “load reduction”) during a DR event.
