    SmartWatt Energy recently completed a LED lighting retrofit at Americold’s temperature-controlled storage facility in Russellville, AR. The project generates higher quality lighting while reducing overall lighting-related energy consumption by 690,000 kWh—this is equivalent to removing over 95 cars from Arkansas roadways.

    Not only has Americold generated better lighting with significant, ongoing cost savings, these upgrades to its lighting system are also eligible for incentive payments from Entergy Arkansas, Inc.’s Large Commercial & Industrial Standard Offer Program. The Commercial & Industrial SOP Program offers financial support in the form of a rebate to companies seeking energy efficiency upgrade projects.

    Given SmartWatt Energy’s emphasis on preservation of the environment, Americold selected SmartWatt Energy as a partner in reducing energy consumption. “This project allows Americold to operate more efficiently—we take a value-engineered approach to our lighting designs, which allows for maximum energy savings and utility rebates,” explained Tarek El-Gohary, Vice President of East Coast Operations for SmartWatt Energy.

    “Sustainability is important to us,” said Fred Walker, Americold’s Vice President of Engineering. “The ability to reduce costs and reduce greenhouse emissions is a key reason we chose SmartWatt Energy for multiple facilities nationwide.”
