Zenergy Brands, Inc. announced that it has closed a Zero Cost contract with a Texas-based franchisee of a well-known fast food restaurant chain, in a deal worth an aggregate contract value of $393,969.60. The Managed Energy Services Agreement ('MESA') encompasses a 7-year agreement for energy efficiency and conservation technology installations across eight of the franchisee’s locations in the South East Texas area. Through its Zero Cost Program, the company continues to provide conservation and sustainability products and services to commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers at no upfront cost while giving them an economic benefit and reducing demand on the respective power grid via a reduction of utility consumption. These MESAs are designed to decrease the company's clients’ utility consumption by 20% to 60% courtesy of the various smart controls and energy conservation and smart control technologies that the Company installs at their respective service locations. This win-win solution enables the company's clients to upgrade their older, inefficient energy infrastructure while leaving a lasting positive impact on the environment, all without incurring any upfront capital expenses. Instead, the clients make a monthly service payment, which is calculated from the forecasted savings to the company in exchange for the benefits of the installed energy conservation and efficiency technologies. For this particular Zero Cost contract, post-installation of their energy conservation and efficiency technologies, which include Lighting, HVAC Controls and Refrigeration upgrades, the franchisee is forecasted to experience a 27% reduction in annual energy consumption (kWh usage), which represents over a half-million in gross dollar savings over a 10-year period. The company's analysis also estimates that this reduction is equivalent to removing 1.4 million pounds of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere – or not burning over 710,000 pounds of coal each year.
