MarketPlace Foods recognized for energy effi ficciency
CENTURIA –MarketPlace Foods in St. Croix Falls was the first business to receive an Energy Efficiency Award from Polk County Economic Development Corporation. The award was presented by Al Bohl, energy advisor for Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative, during PC EDC’s Business Awards Night at Amery Golf Club Tuesday, May 10. Polk-Burnett is the electric service provider for MarketPlace Foods. MarketPlace Foods was recognized for incorporating energy-saving measures into their recently completed renovation and expansion project. Highlights of the project included upgrading interior lighting with high-performance, low-wattage lamps; replacing exterior neon signs with LED technology and replacing interior
signs with foam lettering for zero-energy use. The store also replaced old, inefficient coolers and freezers with modern state-of-the-art models. The new display cases use high-efficiency fan motors and compressors, no-heat doors, LED lighting and motion sensors. As a result of these measures, MarketPlace expects to save more than 600,000 kwh of electricity per year and is projecting a nearly 20-percent reduction on its monthly energy bill, for an annual savings of about $40,000. Beyond saving energy and money, the upgrades are also environmentally friendly. In addition to being recognized with an Energy Efficiency Business Award, MarketPlace Foods also earned rebate checks from Polk-Burnett Electric Coop-

erative and Focus on Energy for its commitment to energy efficiency. The store will receive $10,000 from Polk-Burnett’s EnergySense program and $32,000 from Focus on Energy, Wisconsin’s statewide program for energy efficiency and renewable energy. MarketPlace also received smaller rebates from the co-op and Focus on Energy for energy-saving measures completed last year. “Grocery stores are one of the most energy-intensive commercial businesses per square foot. They use a lot of refrigeration, lighting and equipment that operates 24 hours a day,” said Joleen Jensen, energy advisor for Focus on Energy.
“From the beginning of the project, MarketPlace took full advantage of the resources available through the electric cooperative and Focus on Energy to ensure the greatest return on its investment for energy conservation,” said Bohl. “Store Manager Art Wisner, executive assistant Donna Betts and all involved in the project should be commended for their commitment to energy efficiency.” For more information about energy efficiency savings and incentives for your home or business, contact Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative, 800-421-0283. ~ from Polk-Burnett
