Look Closer at Power Efficiency
GE Critical Power Industrial Solutions
See how just a 1% gain saves
you millions in TCO.
Data Centers Use Approximately 3% of all Electricity Generated in the U.S.
When You Talk UPS Efficiency, You Have to Understand TCO
What is TCO? Total Cost of Ownership
To realize long-term benefits and cost savings of a TCO evaluation and purchase model, data center managers have an opportunity to align their CapEx-centric purchasing team to the OpEx goals of their operational teams.

A TCO evaluation of the OpEx costs of operating a UPS over 10 years creates an operational savings of $1.4 million when energy efficiency improves a single percent − from 93 to 94 percent efficiency. With newer UPS technologies that offer up to
96.5 percent efficiency, that savings jumps to almost $3.4 million. Therefore, a one percent gain in energy
efficiency matters.
TCO vs. Efficiency
Total cost of ownership (TCO), the sum of capital expenditures (CapEx) and operational expenditures (OpEx), is a critical metric to understanding true and long-term costs when designing a new facility or selecting equipment. Yet with the explosion of data center expansion, identifying TCO variables when specifying, building and operating a data center may be more elusive, costing companies millions of dollars every year.
