Case Study: a Minnesota-based national retail chain accelerates net zero goals with GridPoint

National Retail Chain Accelerates Path to Net Zero

The Minnesota-based national retail chain, with a commitment to reaching net zero by 2040, faced a challenge in obtaining a clear, data-driven view of its energy consumption across its vast portfolio of stores. Lacking portfolio-wide benchmarks and asset-level data, they struggled to validate efficiency investments and measure the impact of new equipment. They engaged GridPoint to implement an enterprise energy monitoring platform to gain this critical visibility.

GridPoint provided a solution combining hardware, software, and advisory services, deploying asset-level submetering to deliver real-time data. This enabled the retailer to monitor equipment performance, identify inefficiencies, validate savings from new projects, and develop strategies for electrification and demand response. GridPoint's platform provided centralized visibility that improved operational efficiency, protected high-value equipment, and laid a cost-effective foundation for the retailer to achieve its long-term sustainability goals.
