Switching to a cheaper gas and electricity deal is an easy way to decrease your factory or workshop’s energy bills and maximise your profits.

If you have not switched your energy supplier in the last 12 months you are likely to be overpaying for the gas and electricity you use. Most energy suppliers will automatically switch you to a rollover once your contract ends. This can result in paying rates which are on average 80% higher.

Manufacturing energy saving tips

The UK government has established ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions in order to offset the impact of climate change and all of us will have a part to play. For businesses, becoming more energy efficient is a major way they can contribute to improving the environment.

Manufacturing businesses often have large building and industrial equipment and machinery, so reducing your energy consumption can dramatically decrease your energy bills and therefore increase your profits.

Understanding peak time usage

The first way manufacturers can lower their bills is by understanding when your business uses the most energy during the day. A smart meter reading at different points in the day can provide this information.

Once you understand when the most energy is used you can apply solutions to improve energy efficiency and reduce your power consumption, some ideas we will discuss below.

Critically, by knowing when your peak use of energy is you can ensure that you pick an energy tariff that has the cheapest unit price.

Heating and cooling

The Carbon Trust estimates that most manufacturing operations could save 20% on their energy bills by enacting some simple energy efficiency measures and heating and cooling tends to be where most power is consumed.

For example, we recommend that the thermostat in your factory or industrial spaces is set to the recommended temperature for that space so as to not waste energy overheating or cooling.

Making a simple change such as reducing your thermostat by 1°C you can save up to 8% on your energy bills. Equally, ensuring that boilers and pipes are regularly checked and maintained to ensure efficiency can generate up to 10% savings in heating costs.

If your heating and cooling systems are set to a timer, check them regularly and liaise with staff to ensure they still match your operational hours and are only when they need to be.

Checking your machinery, such as; freezers and coolers, furnaces and compressors are regularly maintained, calibrated and critically are not left on when not in use can also generate significant savings in your energy bills.

Insulation and ventilation

Firstly, check that your ventilation system only operates during operational hours.

Next, ensure that all pipes and valves in your distribution network are properly insulated as heat loss leads to increased power being used to maintain temperature.

Consider the usage of your space. Can ventilation be maximized by utilizing doorways or windows safely? Are there large areas to be heated or cooled which could be isolated from entrances which are regularly opening, therefore reducing the amount of power needed to maintain temperature?

Conducting an energy audit and establishing responsibility for monitoring and establishing new protocols for your business can all help improve your manufacturing energy efficiency.
