GE’s 750kVA UPS system helps customers reduce their energy consumption and costs. Ten GE
750kVA UPS systems operating in a typical data center at 50 percent load use approximately 60kW to
100kW less power and require on average 30kW to 50kW less power for cooling than competitors’
systems. This lowers the total power required to operate and cool a data center by 90kW to 150kW
on average, reducing annual electric energy consumption by an amount equivalent to that of 70 to 120
U.S. households. Using ten GE 750kVA UPS systems, rather than competitors’ systems, in a typical
data center at 50 percent load can avoid the annual emission of 460 to 780 metric tons of CO2 on the
U.S. grid, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 90 to 150 cars on U.S. roads.
Ecomagination is GE’s commitment to imagine and build innovative technologies that help customers
address their environmental and financial needs, such as the need for cleaner, more efficient sources
of energy. The 750kVA UPS was certified as an ecomagination product on the basis of both the
operating benefits and environmental benefits it offers to energy-conscious managers of large data
centers. Using ten GE 750kVA UPS systems in a typical data center at 50 percent load can reduce
operating and cooling electric energy costs by $76,000 to $130,000 per year versus competitors’
systems, assuming an electric energy price of $0.10/kWh.
“Certifying the 750kVA UPS as an ecomagination product underscores our commitment to delivering
solutions that meet the digital world’s ever-increasing demand for more energy efficient and reliable
power supplies,” said Sollecito.
GE ecomagination Certification
The ecomagination Product Review (EPR) process provides a third-party verification of claims,
quantifying operating and environmental performance benefits that accrue to GE’s customers by
using ecomagination products relative to baselines such as competitors' best products, the installed
base of products and regulatory standards. These ecomagination claims can be found in GE's printed
materials and advertisements, and on the web at www.ge.com/ecomagination. Ecomagination
products are re-certified regularly to help ensure that claims remain accurate.
