CPower will help manage this process at about 10 facilities throughout the US. Spartech will reduce its electricity consumption during critical times when blackouts and brownouts are imminent, thereby reducing stress on the grid and decreasing the need for energy providers to generate additional power to meet demand.
As we continue to look for new ways to become more energy efficient and reduce our environmental impact, it makes perfect sense to incorporate demand response programs into our sustainability efforts, said Marc Roberts, senior vice president of operations, Spartech. After evaluating several providers, it became clear that CPower’s expertise and services, especially in working with manufacturers with facilities nationwide and managing enrollment and participation in different regional programs, will help us achieve our corporate social responsibility goals.
Spartech’s commitment to sustainable business practices is well known and respected throughout the industry, said Gary Fromer, chief executive officer, CPower. We are very excited to lead their energy management program as part of the company’s on-going sustainability efforts and look forward to evolving our relationship.
Spartech is a US-based producer of engineered thermoplastic sheet materials, thermoformed packaging, polymeric compounds and concentrates, and engineered product solutions.
