IBM plans to make sustainable energy upgrades across four different sites in New York and North Carolina. These improvements will generate $414,000 in savings annually and reduce carbon emissions by 2,416 tons every year.

In order to implement these enhancements, IBM signed a $2.2 million Sustainable Energy Services Agreement (SESA) with California-based developer Metrus Energy. Metrus will partner with Centrica Business Solutions for engineering, construction, and monitoring; JLL for project coordination, and KeyBank Equipment Finance as the project lender.

Brody Wilson, Manager, Global Energy and Environment, IBM, said in a statement, “IBM has been focused on energy efficiency for decades, and Metrus has been a terrific partner in helping us identify new ways to fund our energy efficiency efforts at IBM.”

“Metrus is excited to be providing IBM with a financing solution that will lower their operating expenses while improving their overall sustainability,” said Anastasia Beckett, SVP, Business Development, Metrus Energy. “Our Sustainable Energy Services Agreement is a flexible solution that enables multi-site rollouts of energy efficiency upgrades that will help meet IBM’s ambitious sustainability plans.”
