Get Better Data for Better Energy Decisions  
 
SDG&E's Small Business Real-Time Energy Manager gives businesses, with at least three locations, an incentive to install a qualified energy management system (EMS). An automated EMS gives you control of your multiple locations and insights into your daily energy use. Enhance your facility's energy performance by integrating automated demand response capabilities into your lighting, HVAC and energy management systems. Here are more great reasons to invest in an EMS:
  1. Better understanding of how to manage your energy across multiple locations
  2. You can make informed decisions on pricing and savings during Event Days
  3. Improves system performance and productivity by automating system functions so that they work together more efficiently
  4. Optimizes system performance which may reduce electricity consumption and could increase your bottom line
Right now, an incentive for 50% of the project cost (capped at $10,000 max) is available when you install a qualified Energy Management System. For more information, visit sdge.com/RTEM or call 1.800.336.7343.
