Latin American Enigin Distributors Set To Benefit
Enigin Distributors, are set to see a boost from a new focus on energy efficiency in Latin America, according to a BNamericas.com Energy Intelligence Series on energy efficiency across the continent.
The report says there will be an increase in demand for efficient lighting technologies, industrial electric motors and controls and other energy saving solutions.
While the biggest barrier to energy efficiency programs in the region is the extreme level of energy subsidies, especially in Venezuela and Argentina, the sector is seeing renewed interest because of supply problems being triggered by the El Niño weather pattern.
The web site also reports that there is government money available in some countries.
Enigin Distributors in the region need to keep abreast of what their governments, local and national, are offering as they can point their clients in the right direction when they invest in energy efficient programs from Enigin.
The idea that energy efficiency as an energy source in its own right, as it is accepted in some developed countries, is just dawning on many in South America and as the way forward environmentally and fiscally.
Emphasising the benefits of energy efficiency to commerce, industry and the public sector will become easier as realisation of its importance dawns on decision makers. The benefits are more than just a consistent supply, as money will be saved, particularly as subsidies lower, which affects budgets and profits.
Enigin Distributors need to be able to educate their clients as to these benefits so they can see the business and financial sense in becoming energy efficient.
Not that it is new to the continent; energy efficiency has gained acceptance and success in some countries in the region and is included in long term energy planning.
Energy efficiency is no longer seen as only a method of reducing peak demand or surviving an energy crisis, but is beginning to be seen as a continuous way of ensuring electricity supply, the report concluded.
