SCE Presents Rebate Check to Trojan Battery

Southern California Edison (SCE) has presented a $576,627 energy rebate check to Trojan Battery Co. to assist with its efforts to achieve long-term energy savings at its Santa Fe Springs, California, manufacturing plant.

To date it is the single largest project completed under SCE’s Technical Assistance and Technology Incentives Program, which provides financial incentives for the installation of technologies that reduce electricity use during high-demand periods. Along with other improvements at the plant, Trojan now can completely automate its demand-response options and shed 3.4MW of its 4MW (85%) load within minutes with a short-term impact to production.

SCE’s business customer division, tariff programs and services, and electric transportation department worked closely with Chad Bentley, manager of manufacturing technology for Trojan Battery, as part of a complete upgrade of its battery formation charging process.
