introduction
Monarch had just undergone a state audit and reducing overhead expenses became a major priority. Monarch was reluctant to use to use an energy consultant but wanted another set of eyes to see if there was any way to reduce its energy expenses.
Solution
MES audited all of the Monarch facilities and subsidiaries. There were over a dozen opportunities related to sales tax exemptions, electric and natural gas rates, and power factor correction.
MES collaborated with Monarch in establishing an improved way to nominate gas usage and championed many other projects to achieve costs savings and refunds.
