Effect of High Energy Cost on
ProfitabilityIn many companies energy cost account for up to 30 % of their
operation cost.
1. J.P.S (Electrical Bill)
2. Fuel Charge (Diesel, LPG and other fuel source)
This often reduces the competitiveness of the business
What can be done to help reduce how much we spend on energy ?

Energy Management Program
Definition
• Energy management is the discipline and measures executed to achieve the minimum possible energy use and cost while meeting the true needs of the activities occurring within a facility.
• Actions intended to achieve this energy efficiency focus on reducing necessary end-use, increasing efficiency, reducing wasted energy, and finding superior energy alternatives.Read more:

Plant assessment
• A critical part of an energy management program
– Looks for opportunities to improve the bottom line of a company
– Without assessments, an energy management program would have difficulty identifying energy savings and would fail to show improvement

Energy management• Can be:
– Informal
– Decentralized, not centrally coordinated or managed
– Project-oriented
– Ongoing Process
• Many companies:Miss important savings opportunities because they lack
the means for addressing energy use across the business

Effective energy management
• How to Have a effective Energy Management Program:
1. A top-down commitment to energy management
2. A commitment to continuous improvement
3. Embraced an approach that integrates energy management across all
aspects of the business
4. Management systems in place
5. A system to regularly assess and track energy performance
6. Set measurable performance goals
7. An effective reward system for energy performance
8. An empowered energy staff

Effective energy management
Make the Commitment:
Management and business
owner/s have to be serious
about energy usage reduction,
they must be willing to provide
the resource needed for the
success of the Project
![Page 8: Energy management & audits](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020101/546f2334b4af9f130c8b45d7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Effective energy management
Assess Performance & Set Goals:
If you don’t have a target that you
are trying to meet you will not
know if the project is successful or
not.

Create and Action Plan:
The action plan will come
from the audit that is
conducted at your facility

Implement Action Plan
You will not realize any savings
by just conducting an energy
audit. The recommendations that
are made must be executed

Evaluate Progress
Tracking of the results from the
actions/ recommendations that
were implemented is
absolutely necessary. This will
inform you at to your success
or failure rate.

Recognize Achievement:
It is good to celebrate the
successes that arise from
the project.

Energy Audit Definition
• An energy audit is a systematic study or survey to identify how energy is being used in a building or plant. It also identify energy saving opportunities

Stages of a Energy Audit
Gather Preliminary Data
• This can be in the form of a simple walk through
of the facility
• Historical usage data is also gathered during this
process
• It set the stage for a detail audit
![Page 17: Energy management & audits](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020101/546f2334b4af9f130c8b45d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Plant Visit/ Detail Audit
• Detail evaluation of Energy use patterns
• Review of Equipment operation characteristics
• Will provide technical solutions and economic
analysis
• A priority listing of energy saving
recommendations
• Report generation
![Page 18: Energy management & audits](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020101/546f2334b4af9f130c8b45d7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The data that is collected from the detailed audit must be reviewed and recommendations made
• Report generation
• After the recommendation have being implemented then a follow up is necessary to evaluate ho effective the
recommendation were
Analyze the report and results and Follow up

Clients Responsibilities
1. Must provide the auditors with the relevant data that will be requested. E.g. Monthly JPS bills
2. Have a person who is familiar with the daily operations to accompany the auditors
3. If equipment is left at the premises for the purpose of data collection the client is responsible for those equipment until retrieved by the auditor
4. The client must be willing to invest in implementation the recommendations
