Energy Conservation
Energy Conservation (through Energy Audit) is the easiest way to achieve higher profitability. Energy Audit carried out by B.E.E. Certified Energy Auditors can yield results for any type of manufacturing plant. It is mandatory for energy-intensive industries to carry out a periodic energy audit and some States like Gujarat have also mandated Gujarat Electrical Inspector Energy Audit.
One of the easiest controllable cost components in manufacturing is energy yet it is the most neglected in many cases. Manufacturers can actually improve their profitability by optimizing their energy usage.
In a manufacturing setup, Energy can be optimized through
-
Plugging leakages in the existing systems (energy saving)
-
Optimization of technical processes (energy efficiency)
-
Use of advanced technology retrofits (system efficiency)
-
Optimization of non-technical processes (process efficiency)
-
Replacement of old systems by new-age systems (system efficiency)
As per IEA (International Energy Agency) end-use energy efficiency can result in maximum mitigation of Green House Gases (GHG). It estimates that end-use fuel and electricity efficiency would be responsible for 34% of total mitigation. Whereas renewable would be responsible for 17%. So energy conservation and energy efficiency is not just beneficial in terms of cost-saving but it also helps in sustainability.
Energy savings can be in the form of direct saving of fuel being used in process or electrical power. It also leads to saving of derived energy such as Steam, Compressed Air, hot water etc. the savings of which result in saving of manufacturing costs.

Energy Audit by a competent team led by B.E.E. Certified Experts can help a plant save atleast 5% on Energy bills. This can have immense benefit for manufacturers who wish to cut down on their cost of production. Combined with data-driven intelligent automation can help a manufacturer save significant amount and directly impact their bottom-line. We did carry out an IIoT study for a steel manufacturer. See our Industry 4.0 IIoT case-study to understand the savings.

Can Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency really help in saving costs?Yes, statistically energy is one of the largest and easiest controllable costs in manufacturing. Energy-intensive manufacturing industries stand to gain the most by energy conservation but any type of manufacturing or processing plant can benefit from this and expect a saving of minimum 5%. Do check our Energy Audit case-study to see how we helped our customer save on energy costs.

Do we still need energy audit even when we have an internal energy cell?It is great to have an internal energy cell. However an external expert team brings in the following benefits - 1. Decades of experience focused on energy conservation and energy efficiency. 2. Fresh perspective. 3. New technology and solutions implemented in other plants. We have conducted energy audit for various plants which have an internal energy cell and have added significant value to the Company's energy saving efforts. Thanks to our highly experienced leadership team and highly qualified advisory board.

How much energy can my plant save through energy audit?Energy saving in every plant depends on a variety of factors such as - 1. Plant process. 2. Age of plant. 3. Equipment type. 4. Time since last audit. 5. Maintenance of equipment. Etc. Etc. However based on our experience a plant could save anywhere between 5% and 10% of energy which could translate to 3% and 5% on SEC or total energy bill. Do see our energy audit case-study to understand how we helped a customer save ~10% on their energy bill.
-
How frequently should a Energy Conservation Audit be carried out?Energy Audit should be carried out once every 2-3 years for a typical manufacturing unit. This ensures that the plant is always optimized and the momentum of energy conservation is maintained within the plant team members. Although some energy-intensive industries such as Steel, Cement, Thermal Power Plants carry out energy audit once every 15 to 24 months.
-
What should be the qualifications of Energy Audit team?Energy Audit should be carried out by B.E.E. Certified Energy Auditor, B.E.E. Certified Energy Managers and Engineers. The team composition could vary but the audit should be led by an auditor only. All the energy audits undertaken by ENERCO is led by IIT-B alumnus Energy Auditor with a rich experience across domains and sectors. We have a team of global expertswith immense experience in sustainability.
-
What type of plants benefit from Energy Audit?Any type of manufacturing plant can benefit from Energy Audit as the duration of audit and exact savings depend on various factors. Typically energy audit is recommended for any type of manufacturing or processing setup which is looking to save energy and save on production costs. Since it's inception Enerco has worked with a variety of Clients and achieved total customer satisfaction in each of the energy saving and sustainability related assignments.
