The Case for Enterprise Energy Management

Nigel Griffiths20 July 2011

Engage & Explore

Familiarise yourself with your current activities.

Understand what is working and what is not.

Appreciate the needs and drivers of different stakeholders

Aggregate, organize, analyse and compare

Put in place single system of record:

Reduce administrative costs on reporting & compliance

Meet the demands from your supply chain

Enterprise environmental and energy management needs to be managed

as a new system of record with its own set of business processes, rules

for accountability among all the major stakeholders with systems that are

designed specifically for this purpose

Key Principles of Environmental Data:

Data: Do it right, do it once

Understand existing systems/processes within your business so that you don’t reinvent the wheel but complement and support

Fit for Purpose – too little, too much - perception vs reality

Accuracy - take estimating out of the equation

Benchmark – how far off the mark are you? What is the potential to improve? What should be disposed of!!

Assess & Plan

Identify your key sources/emission activity

Identify and prioritize strategies

Build the business case according to what your stakeholders understand: Payback, NPV, IRR, ROI, life cycle carbon cost accounting.

Set targets on known information – allows both top down and bottom up to meet in the middle

Provide a plan for the implementation of the actions required to meet any targets

Build in flexibility within your opportunity management system to take account of tariffs, carbon floor price etc. And keep up to date with developments

AND the mechanisms required to monitor them

Pre & Post measurement verification plan

Act

This is not just about implementation of measures:

Track energy efficiency and other clean technology initiatives,

Establish governance:

KPIs, benchmarking, performance management

Report progress

Verify results – share knowledge of successes

Internally & externally

Re-invest!!

Innovate

Engage partners upstream and downstream of value chain

Make it easier to engage partners in resource efficiency and sustainability initiatives without causing survey fatigue

Broaden your horizons

Waste, water, transport, community, health & wellbeing

Build a knowledge base and library of best practices

What worked... What didn’t work!
