Large users are being driven to the ARES market. ` Energy efficiency and renewable energy are a large part of the solution. p

` Reduce energy usage at your facility:

◦ Typical buildings can save 10 to 20% with best practices and up to 30% with major mods.

` Reduce R d environmental i t l iimpactt off energy usage:

◦ Energy efficiency is by far the most cost effective solution. ◦ Focus on energy sources that yield the most savings.

` Reduce the impacts of future rate increases:

◦ The less energy you use use, the lower your total cost increases will be. ◦ Energy efficiency costs
