Case Study: ShoEi Foods USA, Inc. saves $72,000 annually with Stem solar plus storage

ShoEi Foods

ShoEi Foods USA, Inc., a food processing company, sought to reduce its energy costs and improve sustainability. Its challenge was to manage energy use at its refrigerated warehouses in order to qualify for a more cost-effective utility rate plan, which required staying below a 500kW demand limit for a full year. The vendor Stem was engaged to provide a solution using its software and solar plus storage system.

Stem implemented a system where its software monitored energy usage and automatically deployed battery storage to lower demand during spikes. This solution allowed ShoEi to successfully switch and maintain the new rate plan. As a result, Stem helped ShoEi save an estimated $6,000 per month, or $72,000 annually, achieving a total projected 10-year savings of $720,000.
