How to ensure proper management of energy assets

Embarking on the path toward Energy Efficiency is a great opportunity that every company should seize. The technologies and solutions already available make it possible to achieve immediate savings and sustained economic benefits over time, provided a proper energy management system is in place. Its adoption does not have to be radical, but rather incremental, and for this, it is essential to start with a comprehensive model that defines a roadmap for each client and accompanies them along the way. A system that provides the right solution for each client, who generally have different needs and urgencies. In many cases, it is even necessary to have the financial capacity of a provider, such as EDF Fenice, which may assume 100% of the necessary investment, which is amortized over time and based on the savings achieved. This model is based on a four-step plan that can be summarized as follows: 1. Energy Consulting: conducting an energy audit not only allows for evaluating the savings potential of facilities in terms of Energy Efficiency and increasing business competitiveness, but it is also an essential tool for effectively complying with the obligations established by Royal Decree 56/2016. However, given the complexity and changes in energy regulations, it is more than advisable to have advisory services to optimize energy purchasing. 2. Engineering and Construction: to guarantee energy savings, it is necessary to incorporate the most innovative and safe Energy Efficiency technologies. These comprehensive engineering solutions range from HVAC to energy generation or heat recovery. 3. Operation and Maintenance: energy facilities require exhaustive control of their activity and periodic review of their operation. This technical assistance, carried out by highly qualified professionals, is the only thing that guarantees the proper functioning of the facilities. 4. Energy Management: real-time monitoring of energy consumption trends and remote management of energy processes can serve as examples of tools that help manage energy facilities. At EDF Fenice, we are committed to this comprehensive model, accompanying our clients throughout the entire process, reinforcing our commitment to the environment through high-efficiency electricity generation.
