<p>Kaiser Electric has taken a giant step forward in helping its customers reduce energy consumption, while supporting renewable energy sources through its new P2 Green Initiative and enrollment in AmerenUE\'s Pure Power Program.</p>
<p>Kaiser has achieved Platinum Pure Power Leader status through AmerenUE, which means that 100 percent of the electricity used by Kaiser\'s offices is generated by wind farms in Missouri.</p>
<p>\"We felt that if we were going to go into the marketplace and partner with clients and vendors to help customers reduce their energy consumption, stepping up to the plate within our own company to reduce our own energy consumption would set the tone immediately from a credibility standpoint,\" said Kaiser Electric President Steve Giacin.</p>
<p>Kaiser Electric has also taken the lead in helping its customers reduce energy consumption through its P2 Green Initiative. Under the program, Kaiser partners with the client and the end- user to conduct a complete analysis of their facility\'s energy consumption, whether new construction or an existing facility. Once the analysis is complete, Kaiser provides a plan on how the customer can reduce their carbon footprint and what rebates are available to them through the E-Pact Energy Policy Act of 2005 to help offset the cost for improvements.</p>
<p>\"We are one of the only ones in our industry that are being this aggressive with reducing energy consumption for our customers,\" said Dennis Naumann, P2 Green Initiative coordinator. \"We see this as the future of the industry and it is an opportunity for us to bring down the carbon footprint and help our partners become more energy efficient. We are out there every day constructing buildings anyway, so why not make them as energy efficient as possible from the start of the design process?\"</p>
