OCEAN BASKET GOES GREEN FOR ENERGY

Ocean Basket’s giving the green light to all franchisees to go green with energy-saving and cost-saving lighting. The company, in partnership with Genergy, will replace all their franchisees’ down-lighting and fluorescent tubes with more efficient light bulbs and tubes – at no cost!

Franchisees need to sign a maintenance contract with Genergy, who will be responsible for light bulb maintenance for the next three years.

All standard 50 watt globes will be replaced with 3 watt LED globes, which will save between 30% and 50% of lighting consumption. Since lighting represents between 15% and 18% of a restaurant’s consumption, this is a significant cost cut-back. The changeover to LED globes will be rolled out on a national scale.

This is one step in Ocean Basket’s wider commitment to more efficient electricity use. The Menlyn Ocean Basket is being used as a pilot to study further ways to save on electricity consumption in areas such as air-conditioning, motor refrigeration and geysers.
