The Ally Energy Solutions team would like to extend warm season’s greetings to our friends and clients as we celebrate the Holidays and ring in the new year. As we head into 2019, we are filled with gratitude for the people and partners who have supported our business and helped us grow. It’s because of you that we have enjoyed such a stellar year of opportunity and success.
There are individuals within any organization that are worth their weight in gold. You can identify them by their enthusiasm, their can-do attitude, and their willingness to take on any task whether or not it’s in their job description. Here at Ally Energy Solutions, we’re fortunate to have many such individuals, and Tim Begnoche is a great example.
As the head of Ally Energy’s Lighting and Electrical Division, Troy Weston is responsible for the successful implementation of Ally projects and ground-up installations in over 30 states in 2017 alone. Projects that are already saving those industrial facilities millions!
When Troy Moran set out to co-found his own energy solutions company, one of his biggest motivators was to work with good people who put results first, “…doing a good job is just good business”.
Colorado developers, building owners, and contractors interested in learning more about the state’s C-PACE financing program (also referred to as Co-PACE) won’t want to miss this informative four-hour conference scheduled for April 26 from 7am to 11:45am at the Hyatt Regency Aurora-Denver Conference Center.
When it comes to developing multi-faceted energy management solutions for complex facilities, there is simply no room for mediocrity. Ours is a complicated industry with many moving parts, numerous stakeholders and various opportunities for savings that can register in the millions of dollars for our clients – but only if you know where to look. That’s why the Ally team of engineers, project managers and support staff are among the best in the business – they have to be.
Are you a business owner looking for places to cut operational costs? Are you interested in looking for ways to increase profits? By investing in energy efficiency upgrades with dollars you’re already spending on utility costs, you can tap into operational savings that over time will result in millions more $ in your pocket.
Acknowledgement from the PPL Business Energy Efficiency Program, for highest KWh saved in August of 2017, is the result of multiple stakeholders coming together to complete a project that will reduce energy consumption by more than 5,000,000 kWh annually plus the benefit of related HVAC and maintenance savings.
If you are on this page you may have noticed that the Ally Energy website has a new look. We’re pretty excited about it and hope you’ll click around a bit, and maybe even find something useful!
If you know the Ally team, then you might know that we’re as busy as a one-armed paper hanger right now. It’s the end of the year, and in the energy business, that means it’s our busiest time as clients seek to wrap up their capital projects by year’s end.
When Lynxspring Chief Communications Officer Marc Petock asked if we would like to join thought leaders from the Systems Integration and Building Intelligence communities to share a few Ally Energy insights and to talk about today’s energy solutions market, we jumped at the chance.
