Press Release • July 8, 2009 ATS Electric Helps St. Mary's Food Bank ‘See The Light’ and Feed The Hungry Company brightens Food Bank’s main Phoenix warehouse by securing cash donations, providing labor to “generate” huge annual energy savings ![]() ATS Electric Inc. Working off-hours to not interrupt the normal operations of the ultra-busy warehouse, ATS replaced 123 fixtures – each of them requiring 451 watts of power – with new fixtures requiring just 215 watts each. ATS secured cash donations from Ahern Rentals and Rexel Electric Supply in addition to its own which, when combined with a $14,000 rebate from Arizona Public Service (APS), completely covered the cost of installation. Moving forward, St. Mary’s will see an estimated savings of more than $10,800 annually in power usage – a decrease of more than 50 percent over 2008. The savings will be used to provide enough food for more than 75,000 meals to the hungry across Arizona. “The warehouse is twice as bright as it was before, and we’re going to use less than half as much electricity as the old system,” said Ron Watt, general manager of St. Mary’s main warehouse. “We’re very appreciative of what the people at ATS have done for us.” ![]() “It’s amazing the rebates that are out there that people don’t take advantage of,” Sutton said. “There are also great federal tax credits and reductions that, in addition to the rebates, can combine to cover 100 percent of the installation costs in the first year.” ATS Electric, Inc. earned the 2010 Express Solutions Trade Ally of the Year award. We completed 543 projects estimated to save APS customers $835,000 in annual energy costs. ATS Electric, Inc. delivered 9.4 million kWh in annual energy savings to the program that represent a lifetime savings of 151.8 million kWh, helping Express Solutions exceeed its annual goal. |
