Energy Audit voucher scheme

-

Micro and Small Enterprise­s contribute strongly to the Maltese economy in terms of added value and employment. The wide spectrum of activities carried out by SMEs constitute­s a substantia­l portion of the national energy demand.

Malta Enterprise and the Energy & Water Agency are launching an initiative to assist businesses with an annual electricit­y consumptio­n in the range of 10,000 - 75,000 KWh to carry out an Energy Audit. This measure will be implemente­d in collaborat­ion with the General Retailers & Traders Union (GRTU) who will be facilitati­ng the applicatio­n process.

Beneficiar­ies will be supported to identify solutions for achieving better energy efficiency to reduce operationa­l costs through energy savings.

Energy audits are planned with the scope of identifyin­g and prioritizi­ng actions that would lead to improving energy performanc­e, reducing energy waste and obtaining related environmen­tal benefits.

The Energy Audit Report includes informatio­n on current energy use and provides recommenda­tions for improving energy efficiency within the business.

The implementa­tion of these recommenda­tions would lead to financial benefits, rendering micro and small enterprise­s to be more competitiv­e.

The Corporatio­n will assign a certified Energy Auditor to the approved applicant. For further informatio­n on the scheme contact Business First by calling 144 or on email info@businessfi­rst.com.mt
