Increasing the energy efficiency of industrial enterprises

Abstract

he paper analyzed the issue of increasing the energy efficiency of industrial enterprises. The author examines the issues related to the main areas of energy efficiency. To improve energy efficiency policies have been most effective, you need to clearly understand what most hinders the implementation of energy efficient technologies and behaviors. The article discusses the implementation of an energy efficiency strategy at industrial enterprises in order to increase their competitiveness. A block diagram of the implementation of energy saving programs is proposed, including the stages of an audit of the existing energy supply system of production and other business processes of the enterprise, including the promotion of the idea of energy efficiency. The strategic goal of energy saving is one and follows from its definition - it is to increase energy efficiency in all industries, in all settlements and in the country as a whole. And the task is to determine by what measures and to what extent this increase can be carried out. The goals of energy saving coincide with other goals of municipalities, such as improving the environmental situation, increasing the efficiency of energy supply systems, etc.
Reducing consumption allows connecting new consumers with minimal capital costs for infrastructure development and removes the problem of allocating land for new construction of generation facilities, the alienation of sanitary protection zones, etc., which generally has a positive impact on urban development.Solving the problems of energy efficiency at this stage, when there is a large reserve of low-cost activities, also coincides with most of the strategic goals of the state and economic entities.
Energy saving should be attributed to the strategic objectives of the state, being both the main method of ensuring energy security and the only real way to maintain high revenues from the export of hydrocarbons. The energy resources required for internal development can be obtained not only by increasing the production of raw materials in hard-to-reach areas and building new energy facilities, but also, at lower cost, by saving energy directly in the centers of energy consumption - large and small settlements.
