Benefits
Generate new revenue
while lowering electricity costs
A typical grocery-anchored site generates $20,000–$40,000+ in incremental annual profit, with no capital cost or operational change. Over a typical project life, this adds up to $300,000–$600,000+ in cumulative profit per site.
Across a 50-store portfolio, that scales to $1M–$2M+ in annual profit that goes directly to the bottom line.
Financial Benefits
Where the value comes from.
OpenGrid generates value from two sources: new revenue from grid participation and reduced electricity costs.
For typical grocery sites, this results in $20,000–$40,000+ in incremental annual profit, representing ~3–6% improvement in store-level profitability — with no cost or operational effort, and scales across your entire portfolio.
