Multi-Year Utility Bill Review & Rate Optimization
Class I Railway [Confidential]
Canada & United States
Panevo reviewed utility bills for a Class I North American railway, covering 15,000+ electricity and natural gas accounts across hundreds of different utilities and dozens of jurisdictions. A variety of zero-cost measures were identified, including rate tariff changes, utility procurement optimization, billing errors, and others. Most of these issues would have continued unchanged before this review, and the savings associated with this multi-year approach have compounded every year since. Utility bill data from these target accounts is also captured in Panevo’s ioTORQ platform for continuous verification and additional opportunity identification.
Industrial Gas Procurement Optimization
Heavy Equipment Servicing [Confidential]
Alberta, Canada
Panevo helped a Canadian heavy equipment servicing firm restructure natural gas procurement across its Alberta operations, replacing marketer-driven contracts with an independently negotiated, active multi-year agreement. By modeling demand across 50+ sites and running a competitive vendor process, Panevo secured pricing built to outperform the market over the long term, delivering savings that grew as spot prices returned to expected levels.
Steam System Optimization & Savings Verification
Freight Rail Yard [Confidential]
New Brunswick, Canada
Panevo audited a large railyard, identifying failed underground steam lines and insulation issues, with very little steam actually reaching its intended end-use. Excavation, line replacement, drainage works and insulation repairs have cut site gas use by ~30%, with new real-time metering used to track and maintain savings.
Ammonia Refrigeration System Retrofit
Beverage Bottling [Confidential]
Toronto, Canada
Panevo comprehensively metered an ammonia refrigeration system at a beverage bottling facility, identifying a large gap in system performance and far reduced COP compared with nameplate. A rapid audit was performed in line with the IESO’s new XLerate program, which identified a suitable compressor retrofit project with <2 year payback, with a $210k incentive from the IESO resulting from the audit. This project is enabling the site to reduce its peak demand and deliver savings without a major system replacement.
Boiler Room Energy Conservation Measures
Food & Beverage Manufacturer [Confidential]
Nova Scotia, Canada
Panevo managed natural gas and water sub-metering integration throughout the facility, and identified multiple small projects which together would yield a step change in facility gas consumption, including heat exchanger reconfiguration, addition of a steam boiler economizer & improved blowdown controls. Since project initiation site production has increased, and yet natural gas usage is still ~20% lower than expected.
Air Compressor Controls Optimization
Manufacturing Facility [Confidential]
Nova Scotia, Canada
Panevo implemented power and flow metering on a compressed air system. Data analysis through ioTORQ EMIS combined with in-person auditing identified an operational savings measure by optimizing compressor sequencing, now saving the site >$70k annually for virtually no cost.
Compressed Air System Replacement
Global Dairy Processor [Confidential]
Ontario, Canada
Installed submetering and performed detailed study on legacy air compressor system, including full life cycle cost analysis and multi-vendor configuration comparison. Delivered the final project turnkey, and managed incentive generation to maximize ROI.
Submetering & Tenant Billing Recovery
Data Center [Confidential],
Vancouver, BC
Deployed revenue-grade submetering with ioTORQ EMIS to automate tenant billing across a multi-tenant data center. Recovered nearly a decade of unbilled energy charges and unlocked granular analytics that identified facility-wide efficiency opportunities, including a lighting retrofit and a misconfigured fan load.
Water Flow Submeters on Complete Production Line
Global Food Manufacturer [Confidential]
California, USA
Installed submetering on all water use points on a single food processing line (10 meters total). Found that many assets were running higher than recommended. Installed control valves and flow restrictors to reduce water usage.
Incentive Generation
Global Dairy Processor [Confidential]
Ontario, Canada
Refrigeration Upgrade Metering & Study
Installed submetering on legacy ammonia refrigeration system and performed detailed study to enable maximum incentive, while also navigating complex scope changes between original submission and final project.
Project Savings
Stone Wool Production [Confidential]
Ontario, Canada
Coal-Based Combustion Process Transformation
Performed detailed process and energy auditing to address industrial carbon tax mitigation, identifying creative fuel offset opportunities using biomass. Solution decreased fuel use and carbon-related costs by 35% without requiring major processing or equipment adjustments.
Main Meter Data Collection Automation
Food Processing [Confidential]
North America
Multi-Site Utility Metering
Designed and implemented a comprehensive main meter data capture solution across 40+ U.S. and Canadian sites to capture data from all main utility meters (gas, electricity, water), managing ~100 different utility vendors. Integrated the system with ioTORQ EMIS, allowing headquarters to monitor and evaluate performance across all sites.
