Challenges faced

BC Hydro is an organization with extensive expertise in the field of electricity conservation and energy economics. BC Hydro is a commercial Crown corporation owned by the Province of British Columbia, the largest electric utility in British Columbia, and one of North America’s leading providers of renewable energy.

A Solution That Worked

In April 2009, Faronics commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying Power Save. This study illustrates the financial impact of deploying Power Save PC power management software for 8,068 (as of early December 2009) PCs at BC Hydro. In conducting in-depth interviews with an existing Faronics enterprise customer, Forrester found that the Power Save product helped the company achieve significant savings on energy costs, beyond the efficiency savings that BC Hydro had already realized prior to installing Power Save.
