Energy Efficiency

Industrial Installations required to carry out audits

The industrial installations required to carry out energy audits must send a written communication to the department of the Autonomous Community Administration competent in matters of energy efficiency, within three months since the audit took place.

In general, these are the conditions that render necessary an energy audit:

Companies with more than 250 workers and/or
Companies whose turnover is higher than 50 million euros and whose balance sheet is higher than 43 million.
Groups of societies that, taking into account all the magnitudes of the societies forming the group, have more than 250 workers and/or whose turnover is higher than 50 million euros and whose balance sheet is higher than 43 million.

Keep in mind

They must cover, at least, an 85% of the total consumption of the final energy of all the installations in the nation that are part of the industrial, commercial and service activities developed by the companies in the course of their economic activity.
The first audit must have taken place before November 12^th, 2016.
It must take place once every four years since the date of the last energy audit.
It must be based on updated, measured and verifiable operation data about the consumption of energy and, in the case of power supply, load profiles if they are available.
It will include a detailed examination of the energy consumption profile of the buildings or group of buildings, of industrial or commercial installations or operations, or of private or public services, including transport inside the installations or vehicle fleets.
It will be based, if possible, on profitability criteria, on the analysis of the life cycle costs better than on simple amortisation periods. Thus, long-term savings, residual values of long-term investments and discount fees will be taken into account.
It will be proportioned and representative enough to present a reliable picture of the global energy performance, so that opportunities for improvement may be determined in a most reliable and significant way.
