"Your program not only produced rebates, but it led to many projects that otherwise wouldn't have happened. You helped us quantify the opportunities and then guided us through to their completion."

California Energy Commission

"The diversity of so many energy technologies was another added value. [EIG's guidance] led to participants taking a more comprehensive approach to energy efficiency, rather than a single measure through a contractor."

Cushman & Wakefield

“We have found the incentive program operated by Energy Innovation Group to be a valuable combination of rebate, access to emerging technologies, and having a single source to manage all aspects of developing and implementing energy strategies”.

BOMA – Greater Los Angeles

"We are changing the way an association thinks and acts. We are securing opportunities for our membership that individual companies might not be able to find on their own."

City of Redondo Beach

“I wish to express on behalf of the City of Redondo Beach and the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (COG) our appreciation of the benefit Energy Innovation Group (EIG) has brought to our communities through special energy rebate programs and innovative strategies to reduce energy costs."

 

 

About EIG

Overview

Energy Innovation Group, LLC (EIG) is the nation’s only Energy Program Integrator, bringing the latest advances in traditional and emerging technologies, special utility incentives, a ‘big picture’ strategy, and a highly efficient one-stop service to help companies, cities and schools reduce cost and qualify for major incentives, far beyond standard conservation measures.

EIG typically can guide the most energy efficient companies to achieve a further 8% to 12% reduction in energy cost, beyond everything they have already implemented. For companies with less advanced conservation efforts in place, EIG often can identify and implement reductions of 30% to 50% of the entire energy bill.

EIG is recognized for its innovative programs to benefit energy users, including clients and members of management companies and trade associations, by integrating:

Innovative Opportunities To Save

EIG has for more than three decades specialized in pairing the latest advances in traditional and emerging technologies with special rebates for you, to cost-effectively reduce energy demand, often up to 40% with typical return on investment between 12 and 30 months.

Energy efficiency encompasses hundreds of individual and unrelated energy saving opportunities, which need to be organized into a cohesive solution for a meaningful result. EIG’s integrated ‘big picture’ programs enable you to achieve extraordinary reductions in energy cost for your buildings, regardless of the level of efficiency you may have already achieved.

Emerging Technologies

EIG works with product development companies to bring the latest advances in technologies to the mainstream marketplace. This enables energy users to stay ahead of the technology curve and enjoy savings far beyond standard energy management. We evaluate technologies for reliability, energy savings, cost effectiveness, and are often able to arrange special rebates.

To identify the ‘gems’, EIG communicates with: utilities which review technologies for rebate qualification … venture capital firms that finance new technologies … universities which develop technologies … engineering firms which consult in product design … testing labs which test technologies … and contractors and customers who have been presented with technologies.

Exclusive Utility Incentives

EIG makes available special incentives and benefits which we negotiate with utilities. Often these rebates are not offered through the standard utility programs. These incentives generally cover up to 50% of the cost of energy projects. Through these programs, EIG may also be able to provide funds to offset such project costs as audits, engineering and specifications.

Big-Picture Approach

EIG guides energy users to look at the ‘big picture’ of what is possible for energy savings, and take advantage of incentives. Utilizing this approach, companies are reducing total energy cost, often 20% to 25%, rather than limiting themselves to the benefit of an individual project.

One-Stop Turnkey Service

For many companies, a major impediment to energy efficiency is simply the ‘hassle factor.’ They lack the staff and know-how to identify and qualify technologies, deal with multiple companies, develop, manage and complete energy projects, seek out available rebate and grant programs, and structure and arrange project financing.

EIG eliminates the hassle factor by providing a turnkey service; we take projects from concept through completion, providing fast, efficient, customer-friendly and comprehensive service.

We manage every step, starting with strategy development and facility audits. We analyze customer needs and evaluate technology options, oversee engineering and specification of opportunities, and report our recommendations and project economics. We take responsibility for bringing in contractors with the required expertise, and we oversee installation, project management, rebate handling and (upon request) no-capital-outlay project financing.

No-Capital-Outlay Programs

The EIG ‘savings-funded’ programs enable energy users to complete projects without capital outlay. Project cost is partially offset by rebates, with the balance paid monthly, generally over a 24- to 48-month period, funded from a portion of energy and maintenance savings. Thus there is no capital outlay, and there are immediate and ongoing net reductions in utility and maintenance expense. Upon completion of the savings funded period the customer retains all future savings, and without ever having invested any of their own capital.

Another major advantage of completing a comprehensive no-cash-outlay energy upgrade program is that installing new, highly efficient equipment today not only maximizes the reduction of operating costs, it also eliminates the future capital outlay that would be required to replace current equipment, nearing the end of its useful life.

These programs conserve cash flow and working capital, helping energy users maintain liquidity. Programs can be tailored to meet specific requirements, including budget, and cyclical fluctuations, while positive cash flow is generated from the project. Payments can often be written off 100%, since they typically are operating expenses.

Property Management and Trade Association Programs

EIG recognizes that many energy users reach out for advice to trusted affinity groups such as trade associations, property management companies, chambers of commerce and others. EIG has created special programs for these groups, enabling them to provide a pathway for clients and members to capitalize on these extraordinary savings and incentive opportunities.

City and School Energy Programs

Budgets of municipalities, agencies and school districts are today under unprecedented strain. By utilizing special utility incentives and no-capital-outlay energy project financing opportunities, EIG can help city and school officials implement highly effective energy cost control programs with meaningful benefits without impacting operating or capital budgets.
