Hitachi Consulting Leads Industry Energy Savings Efforts

Cable industry icon Maggie Bellville introduced Hitachi Consulting’s ground breaking energy savings program to the cable industry to a standing-room-only crowd of 1,500 executives during a luncheon at the annual SCTE Cable Tec Expo – held this year in Denver.

The former COO of Charter Communications and EVP of operations at Cox explained how, with rising programming costs and salaries, operators could significantly cut their energy bills by 30-50% using Hitachi’s expertise and technologies to reduce power consumption in headends, network operations centers and business offices.

How big a savings you may ask? Bellville estimates more than $40 million can be cut from MSO energy bills in one year – and grow as more facilities are brought online.

Hitachi Consulting’s solutions have helped its customers cut CO2 emissions significantly:  as if they’ve taken 72,000 cars off the road!
