Enigin Update - Energy Efficiency the Smart Choice for Russia
Russia has an enormous energy resource, namely its energy efficiency potential - according to Jean-Louis Stasi of Schneider Electric writing a post for The Moscow Times.
Stasi claims that energy efficiency could ensure Russia's economic growth, and provide enough energy to even exceed expected energy production increase by twofold to fourfold by 2020.
According to data from McKinsey it is vital for Russia to improve its energy efficiency, with industrial energy consumption per euro of gross domestic product about seven times higher in Russia than in the United States and Europe.
Russia’s State Duma passed a federal law in 2009, on energy conservation and energy efficiency, with the aim of reducing energy consumption nationwide. This law impacts on a wide range of companies and industries across the country.
Stasi argues that many define two approaches to energy efficiency: passive energy efficiency and, more significantly, active energy efficiency.
He describes passive energy efficiency as the installation of countermeasures against losses, the use of low consumption equipment, and these largely reduce energy loss rather than the energy deployed.
Stasi explains that active energy efficiency is achieved through installing energy-saving devices and equipment that are also controlled to use only the energy required.
Stasi adds that energy saving companies that offer active energy efficiency should also provide services, which involve advice, implementation strategies, monitoring and control solutions and compliant products, backed by excellent service to help maintain the savings.
Enigin Distributors offer exactly this level of service to both the public and private sector, with leading-edge energy efficiency technology from Enigin, including Eniscope Real-time and Analytics, which provides a powerful level of control over energy use along with unsurpassed energy monitoring.
The blog post in The Moscow Times highlights four sustainability steps that energy saving companies can offer to achieve successful energy efficiency for their clients:
- Measure energy use to identify potential savings and malfunctions.
- Install low consumption equipment and systems.
- Improve long-term use by deploying automation management, consulting, training and tracking resources while maintaining high performance.
- Continuously analyse energy savings through maintenance, supervision and monitoring.
The article claims that by Russia implementing integrated energy management solutions in industrial, commercial and residential spheres today, could result in up to 30 percent of the world's energy consumption being saved.
