Complete implementation of an energy-planning system at all factories that sets energy-efficiency targets for thermal and electrical energy use for the next five years. This planning system is based on the following elements:
- Establishing the baseline of energy use at each operation. This includes baselining electrical energy use at cement and lime operations in response to expected energy rationing for large energy users. All baselines for large energy users in the organisation have been submitted to the relevant licensees.
- High-level electrical energy monitoring has been implemented at all major operations. This system will be expanded into the operations in the next financial year to enable real-time management of operational electrical energy use. This will assist significantly in identifying energy-saving opportunities
Roll out projects identified in the energy strategy.
