UASG / AES ( SPOTLESS GROUP ) AUSTRALIA & ASIA solution might involve a financial as well as an operational solution . The contractor funds deployment over a period of up to 15 years , under a model that delivers economic benefit to the customer from day one , with that benefit growing each year thenceforward .
A good example of this was Spotless ’ s own laundry business . The 19 sites across Australia , some of them dating from the 1950s , faced increased annual energy costs of more than A $ 1 million as of 2017 . Doing nothing was not an option , so UASG looked at replacing old and gas or electric boilers with the latest energy efficient gas micro turbines or co-generation plant as a way to generate power at a cheaper rate . Where appropriate , solar deployment is considered as well : low energy lighting , meter reconfiguration and water recycling solutions are also considered to improve efficiency . “ We can upgrade the critical infrastructure on site to provide a reduction in energy and water consumption using technology that will be able to deliver the same functionality at a much lower cost ,” he says . Though each case is unique , typically an investment of a couple of million dollars will be recovered by the customer within three years - thereafter those savings go direct to that customer ’ s bottom line . If UASG funds deployment the savings will be seen from year one , while capital costs are recovered over a longer period .
Solutions like these apply to any high
