Large enterprises to have to carry out energy audit every 4 years, according to regulation approved by government
Chisinau, Dec. 11 /MOLDPRES/- Energy Ministry is stepping up energy efficiency efforts among the country's companies. In this context, the Cabinet of Ministers approved today the regulation on energy audit of large enterprises. The initiative responds to the critical need to reduce excessive energy consumption, as more than 50% of the energy consumed in the country is used for building maintenance.
In this context, the regulation introduces a strict framework for monitoring and reporting energy consumption, based on the latest measurement and evaluation technologies. The document sets the obligation for large enterprises to conduct energy audits every four years. The audits are essential for identifying energy saving potential and implementing effective measures to reduce consumption. The Regulation also encourages the implementation of energy or environmental management systems, which will contribute to the continuous optimization of the use of energy resources, according to the Energy Ministry.
The regulation also provides for the creation of support mechanisms for the targeted enterprises, including the possibility to access funds in the form of grants for the implementation of energy efficiency measures.
Thus, by approving the Regulation, the aim is to optimize the consumption of energy resources by large industrial consumers, which would lead to reducing in energy consumption at the national level, increase the competitiveness of products and services provided by these entities, as well as increase the energy security of the state.
The list of large enterprises that will be obliged to perform energy audits will be generated by the National Statistics Bureau, and the National Center for Sustainable Energy and the Ministry of Energy will have key roles in monitoring and implementing the regulation.
In the Republic of Moldova, twice as much energy is consumed to maintain one square meter of building as in EU countries.
