The impact of energy efficiency interventions on industry – the Industrial Energy Efficiency Project in South Africa

Abstract

The IEE Project was set up in 2010 to help transform the energy-use patterns of South African industry by means of energy management systems and energy systems optimisation. Through IEE Project implementation, around 100 industry plants have saved 1 300GWh of energy thus far, equivalent to a financial saving of R1.1 billion and an emissions savings of 2 million tonnes of CO2. In his talk, Hartzenburg will speak on the methodologies, successes and lessons of the IEE Project and outline how industry can benefit from the second phase of the project launching in October 2015.
