My first thought is that this is dumb, since if this made actual financial sense, the car parks would already be doing this. So by creating an additional expense, what they are actually doing is disincentivizing the creating of car parks.

My second thought was: "good"

Financially, you can save money per year on electricity, but it means you'd have to pay an upfront for installation. Which probably maths out as a very long term investment that companies hate.
