Sector applications

Different manufacturing operations.{' '} Different energy profiles.

Manufacturing spans very different operating profiles — from continuous-process food and beverage to discrete-part fabrication to controlled-environment pharma. Each calls for a different sequencing of efficiency and generation.

{MFG_SUBSECTORS.map((s) => )}

Not sure which sub-sector best describes your operation?{' '} That's usually the right place to start a conversation. {' '} A 20-minute call is enough to map your load profile against the right scope of work.

Our discovery process

Start with a baseline.{' '} Not a commitment.

Most manufacturing facilities already have enough operational and utility data to identify meaningful energy-saving opportunities. The first step is understanding how the facility consumes power across shifts — and where the strongest financial positioning exists.

{/* Step 01 */}

STEP 01

Quick 20-minute discovery call.

We review your facility type, shift patterns, equipment loads, BEPS exposure, and current priorities. No commitment required.

{/* Step 02 */}

STEP 02

12 months of utility bills.

Interval and utility billing data help identify:

{/* Step 03 */}

STEP 03

Documented facility baseline.

We produce a facility-specific baseline covering consumption, demand, GHG emissions, and a ranked list of measures — the reference point for every subsequent decision in the programme.

No commitment required.

Ontario electricity rates include a demand charge component calculated against this figure — meaning a single production spike can set the demand charge for the entire month.\n\nFor manufacturing facilities running continuous production, demand charges can represent 30–50% of the total electricity bill. Identifying and reducing peak demand — through load scheduling, HVAC optimisation, or battery storage — is often the highest-return energy investment available before solar is considered.", }, { q: "How does solar work for a facility running 24 hours a day?", a: "Solar generation is highest during daytime hours and zero at night. For facilities running continuous 24/7 production schedules, solar typically offsets daytime consumption and reduces the amount of electricity purchased from the grid during peak rate periods.\n\nBattery storage can extend the value of solar into evening and overnight periods by capturing excess daytime generation and discharging it when solar output is unavailable. The specific economics depend on the facility's load profile, shift patterns, and rate structure — which is why the assessment starts with utility interval data, not a roof measurement.", }, { q: "Does it make sense to address efficiency before installing solar?", a: "For manufacturing facilities where full or near-full electricity offset is the goal, looking at efficiency and generation together tends to produce better outcomes.\n\nIf a facility has addressable demand charges, poorly scheduled HVAC, or aging lighting across large production areas, reducing that load first means a solar system can be sized for the optimized facility rather than the current one. The Ce De Candy programme delivered $7.2M in lifetime savings using exactly this sequence — efficiency and generation planned across 11 projects over several years.", }, { q: "What payback period should manufacturing facilities expect?", a: "On completed GI manufacturing projects, payback has ranged from approximately 4–7 years depending on system size, facility consumption, and incentive access.\n\nManufacturing facilities with high daytime electricity loads and significant peak demand charges tend to achieve payback toward the lower end of that range — because the project addresses both energy volume and demand charges simultaneously. The Ce De Candy programme achieved a blended payback of 4.2 years across all 11 projects.\n\nA project-specific financial model is required to determine where your facility lands — the variables are too facility-specific for a generic estimate to be meaningful.", }, { q: "How does BEPS compliance affect Ontario manufacturing facilities?", a: "Ontario's Building Emissions Performance Standard (BEPS) sets emissions intensity limits for large commercial and industrial buildings. Manufacturing facilities above the size threshold will be required to demonstrate emissions reductions on a defined compliance schedule.\n\nOn-site solar generation directly reduces a facility's grid electricity consumption and the associated GHG emissions — both inputs to BEPS calculations. An energy programme that combines demand reduction and solar generation is also the programme that produces the documented emissions data required for BEPS reporting.\n\nThe earlier a facility begins, the more flexibility it has in how the compliance target is met.", }, ]; const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(0); return (
