Drivers for Energy Management
• Competitiveness
• Environment
• Security of Supply
Irish Targets (2020):
40% renewable electricity
20% GHG reduction
20% energy efficiency (33% in public
sector)

Business Case for Energy Management
Retail Example: €100,000 p/a
• If you make 5% energy savings (~€5,000), where does that 5% / €5,000 go?
• How many retail items would you need to sell to make €5,000 in profit? - Could be worth an extra week of trade?

Understanding your Energy Bills
• Power: kilowatt (kW)
• Energy: kilowatt hour (kWh)
• 1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts
1 L 2.68 kg
10.161 kWh =
![Page 19: Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve ... · Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Profitability Brian Scannell MSc Eng SEAI Energy Advisor . Topics •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022090605/605acbc1a6fccb31902af3fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Understanding your Energy Bills
• A 100W light bulb = 100W
• Ten 100W light bulbs = 1000W or 1kW
• kW multiplied by hours = Units of energy (kWh)
• 1kW x 8670hrs = 8670kWh p/a
• @ 16c/kWh = €1400 p/a

Understanding your Energy Bills
• Simple
• Cheap
• Awareness

Understanding your Energy Bills
• We always start with the energy bills …….
• When you go back to your office dig out some
electricity bills…….

Excess MIC Penalties
• MIC -
– HEAVILY PENALISED for the excess – ONCE for 15 minutes in a month. – Measured in kVA
![Page 29: Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve ... · Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Profitability Brian Scannell MSc Eng SEAI Energy Advisor . Topics •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022090605/605acbc1a6fccb31902af3fe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Example of Excess MIC Penalties
• This is an EXTREME example !!!
![Page 30: Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve ... · Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Profitability Brian Scannell MSc Eng SEAI Energy Advisor . Topics •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022090605/605acbc1a6fccb31902af3fe/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Excess MIC ? What should you do ?
• If possible reduce peak demand
• If not - seek an Increase in MIC from ESB Networks – Possible capital cost – Payback varies – Increase in capacity charge – TALK to ESB Networks, NOT your supplier !
![Page 31: Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve ... · Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Profitability Brian Scannell MSc Eng SEAI Energy Advisor . Topics •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022090605/605acbc1a6fccb31902af3fe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What if my MIC is too High ?
• MICs too high will attract additional ‘ Fixed ‘ Charges !
• You could be paying for capacity you will never use ..
• Capacity Charge & PSO levy is based on your MIC level

What should you do ?
• What should you do to eliminate these penalties ?
• Ask your Electrician 3 Questions: – Do we have a Power Factor Correction installed? – If we have one, is it working? – If it is working , is it big enough?
• Ask yourself one final question : Is it on a regular Checklist ?

Are there financial incentives available?
• The BEW Grants are finished
• BEC Grants closing on 31st May
• Accelerated Capital Allowances
• National Energy Efficiency Fund

What is the ACA?
• It’s a tax incentive (not a grant!)
• Write-off 100% of eligible purchases against profit in the first year (normally over 8 years!).
• Must be a company, paying corporation tax. • Normal Capital Expenditure write-off rules apply
(but term is “accelerated” to one year)
![Page 50: Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve ... · Helping Business to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Profitability Brian Scannell MSc Eng SEAI Energy Advisor . Topics •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022090605/605acbc1a6fccb31902af3fe/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
How the ACA works
Consider the example where a company has €100,000 profit at the end of their accounting period, on which they must pay 12.5 % corporation tax. The same company has during that period, purchased capital equipment that cost €20,000.
