Case Study: Four Seasons Produce reduces energy use and earns revenue with Enel X energy intelligence software

Enel X’s Energy Intelligence Software Helps Four Seasons Produce Reduce Energy Use and Generate Money Without Affecting Business

Four Seasons Produce Inc., a large independent produce wholesaler, sought to lower its substantial annual electricity costs and enhance its sustainability initiatives without disrupting its temperature-controlled operations. The company partnered with vendor Enel X to leverage its demand response programs and energy intelligence software as a strategy to reduce energy consumption.

Enel X implemented a solution involving automated curtailment of refrigeration systems and backup generation participation in grid programs. This allowed Four Seasons to reduce its energy use by 400 to 1,000 kW per event while receiving approximately $25,000 in annual payments. The program provided full visibility into energy consumption via smart metering and resulted in significant energy savings and more accurate billing forecasts, all with no operational impact.
