The Challenge

Energy Costs Bleeding Profits

Gascor's Kempton Park facility faced a critical operational drain: their administration building was consuming massive amounts of expensive grid power during peak business hours.

With energy-intensive HVAC systems, IT infrastructure, and office equipment running from 7 AM to 6 PM daily, monthly electricity bills were spiraling upward at 12% annually—faster than revenue growth.

The Breaking Point

Energy costs were consuming 31% of the facility's operational budget, making it impossible to scale manufacturing operations profitably.

"We've essentially taken our admin building off-grid during the day. The 90% reduction in energy bills freed up capital we've reinvested into production equipment. This wasn't just an energy project—it was a business transformation."
