Industry and Energy Consumption

For years, the industrial sector has been making progress in energy-saving and energy-efficiency plans due to the significant impact that energy costs have on production, which can represent between 25% and 50%. However, small and medium-sized industries still show a lower adoption of these measures and therefore require special attention.

Regarding energy consumption, three major areas stand out:

  • Lighting: 10%
  • Climate control: 25%
  • Machinery and production processes: 65%

The sector has access to a variety of energy-efficiency technologies, including:

  • High-efficiency motors: up to 10% savings
  • Variable-speed drives: up to 25%
  • Optimisation of air compressors: up to 30%
  • Improvements to heat pumps: around 40%

Tips and Best Practices
