NEK achieved energy savings of over 1 GWh

As a legal entity liable under the Energy Efficiency Act, NEK EAD was set a goal to achieve and prove to the Agency for Sustainable Energy Development (AUER) energy savings in final consumption for the period 2017 - 2019, amounting to 483 MWh. As a result of the numerous measures implemented by NEK EAD, the company achieved energy savings in final consumption amounting to 1,011.36 MWh - more than twice the set target. The savings were confirmed after AUER issued the necessary certificates, the National Electric Company announced.

AUER is the institution that monitors compliance with legislation in the field of energy efficiency. By issuing certificates for energy savings, the agency confirms the amount of energy savings as a result of the performed energy efficient services and other measures to increase energy efficiency.

Energy saving is the amount of saved energy, determined by measuring and / or estimating the energy consumption as a difference in the consumed amounts of energy before and after the application of measures to increase energy efficiency.

An increase in energy efficiency is the result of the implementation of a measure or activity that leads to a reduction in the ratio between the amount of energy used and the output quantity of goods, services or energy produced without deterioration in quality or other characteristics.
