ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Finding Hard-to-Find Equipment

One of the key ways RESA Power supports environmental sustainability is through its ability to supply customers with equipment that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Often, when a single breaker or component needs to be substituted in a switchgear, it cannot be readily found or remanufactured. In such cases, the typical solution would involve replacing the entire switchgear lineup with a new OEM solution, which can be a costly endeavor, often running into millions of dollars.

Reduced Waste and Increased Component Lifetime

By incentivizing the reuse of products, RESA Power actively promotes waste reduction. Rather than scrapping and extracting new resources, their practices focus on giving existing components a second life. This approach greatly reduces all forms of waste, such as scrap metal and obsolete electronics.

Instead of contributing to landfills, scrapped parts are returned to the economy or used more efficiently. Consequently, the carbon footprint associated with sourcing and extracting new materials is significantly reduced.

Positive Impact on the Environment

RESA Power’s commitment to environmental sustainability extends beyond waste reduction. By remanufacturing and reusing components, we help conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions.

Our practices align with the principles of a circular economy, where resources are optimized, waste is diminished, and the lifespan of components is extended. This approach not only benefits the environment but also promotes a more sustainable electrical industry.

RESA Power is committed to achieving carbon neutrality. We will diligently work towards reducing our greenhouse gas emissions across all our operations and offsetting any remaining emissions through various sustainable practices, such as investing in renewable energy projects and supporting carbon offset initiatives.

RESA Power is dedicated to promoting a circular economy model in our industry. We will prioritize reusing and refurbishing electrical components and equipment whenever possible, reducing waste, and minimizing the extraction of new resources. By embracing circularity, we aim to extend the lifespan of products, conserve valuable resources, and reduce our overall environmental impact.

With the establishment of a baseline report, we have gained valuable insights that drive positive change within our organization. This has influenced us to reassess and optimize our fundamental business practices, including expense reporting and gas card usage. By obtaining more granular spending reports, we can now identify specific areas where we can reduce our carbon footprint, such as optimizing fuel usage in vehicles and facilities.

RESA Power is dedicated to supporting environmental responsibility and adopting sustainable initiatives. One example of our commitment to sustainability is the use of Cargill FR3® insulating fluid.

This innovative fluid is made from natural ester oil, which is biodegradable and renewable. The use of Cargill FR3® supports an eco-friendly approach to power system maintenance, leading to carbon neutrality, and reduced environmental impact. Through the usage of Cargill FR3®, RESA Power supports the environment by significantly reducing the carbon footprint of their operations, contributing to a greener future.
