What is an Energy Management Program

An Energy Management Program (EMP) is a management strategy designed to reduce wasteful and expensive use of energy. EMPs are tailored to your locations, usage and unique business goals. Our goal at CDE Energy is work with your small or large, commercial or industrial business to develop an effective EMP specific to your situation.

Financial

The primary reason for developing an EMP is to realise financial benefits. Typically these will be reduced costs through lower energy consumption. Other savings may be realised through lower maintenance costs, reduced process waste and greater workforce productivity.

In some cases savings can be achieved without any change to current operations by reviewing the current tariff and switching to a more suitable supply contract.

Operational
Initiating an EMP and reviewing current energy practices may offer operational gains. These are realised through optimisation of business processes, plant layout and design. The information collected in an energy audit will provide you with energy knowledge that is critical for planning and decision making.

Your EMP will provide recommendations that will improve plant reliability and availability, positively impact working practices, improve employee safety, and encourage staff ownership and employee driven changes.

Projection of energy consumption is useful for budgeting, energy purchase negotiation and accurately costing services and internal activities. This information will assist in the identification of opportunities where investment or additional research offer the greatest potential.

Environmental
Implementation of a well designed EMP offer considerable environmental benefits. Reduced energy consumption means reduced Carbon Dioxide and other emissions, conservation of natural resources.
