Faronics Marks Earth Day by Exceeding BC Hydro Savings Goals
Faronics Marks Earth Day by Exceeding BC Hydro Savings Goals
SAN RAMON, CA, April 22nd, 2010 - [@PR2WEB] - Faronics, a global leader in computer
power management and cost reducing IT solutions, announced today that
Faronics Power Save customer, BC Hydro Power Authority, has outperformed
preliminary predictions by saving an extra 200,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of
energy a year. In a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted in 2009
with industry expert Forrester Consulting and commissioned by Faronics, BC
Hydro initially estimated they would save 1 Gigawatt hour (GWh) of
electricity from reducing their computer energy waste via Faronics Power
Save. Recent research has now revealed the Canadian based company has
saved 1.2 GWh.
The TEI study was based on the deployment of Power Save on over 8000
computers at BC Hydro, who generates up to 54,000 GWh of electricity and
serve 1.8 million customers in British Columbia. BC Hydro was able to
realize a risk-adjusted ROI of 35%, with a payback period of 20 months.
Over the next three years they will save an estimated three million
kilowatt hours (kWh), valued at over $240,000.
TEI not only measures fully burdened costs and cost reduction (areas that
are typically accounted for within IT) but also weighs the enabling value
of a technology in increasing the effectiveness of overall business
processes.
BC Hydro had already adopted significant improvements in its PC power
consumption prior to using Power Save. The ROI represents significant
incremental gains on a relatively efficient base level of electricity
consumption. Organizations at an earlier stage of green IT maturity could
see a significantly higher ROI and faster payback.
Power Save works by analyzing CPU, application activity, disk, keyboard,
network, and mouse status before taking power management actions, and
delivers enterprise-wide desktop computer energy management. The fast
implementation and quick ROI payback enable companies to leverage Power
Save to immediately deliver true business value. Since its release in
2007, Power Save has earned numerous accolades for its ease-of-use,
flexibility, and quick time-to-value.
"We were thrilled to learn Power Save has outperformed BC Hydro's initial
expectations," said Farid Ali, Faronics CEO. "Employing a dedicated PC
power management strategy is one of the most immediate and cost-effective
ways for any organization to reduce their energy consumption and power
bill, and is a great way to celebrate Earth Day."

computers.
