Outdated energy generation or production systems are often inefficient. Their energy consumption is high and the individual components are not optimally coordinated with one another. Unnecessary emissions are generated, which have a detrimental effect on the climate. An energetic optimisation can significantly boost efficiencies.

This is where the GETEC energy specialists come into play. Not only are they analysing the energy consumption, but they thoroughly study all energy-related processes before developing a customised concept. The focus is on an ultra-efficient generation and the lowest possible use of energy as well as on procedures required in the production, in order to reduce the energy consumption.

In a comprehensive energy concept, GETEC combines all measures by means of which considerable energy savings can often be realised. GETEC guarantees these savings for the entire contract term. In the context of a partnership, GETEC is funding all of the necessary investments and energy savings procedures, enabling the customer to invest their resources in the core business. This represents a financial relief for the customer, as no cash-out is required.

The GETEC products energy savings performance contracting and energy savings partnership are the perfect solutions in this case.

The return on necessary investments is generated by the energy costs saved during the contract term. As a result, the projects are virtually self-funded. This kind of efficiency partnership has considerable advantages for the industrial enterprise: It benefits from contractually guaranteed energy savings. The efficiency in the production is stepped up, emissions are reduced, thereby improving the company’s carbon footprint – all without the need for GETEC’s customer to contribute any of its own resources.

Energy savings performance contracting initially enables the customer to take advantage of the improved carbon footprint and by the end of the contract term to reap the full benefits generated by the lower energy costs and the implemented energy efficiency measures. Some customers prefer to enjoy the economic paybacks immediately. The energy savings partnership is the perfect solution for this scenario. With this option of realised procedures, the customer benefits from lower energy costs immediately after the measures have been implemented – guaranteed for the entire contract term!

A comprehensive analysis of the ACTUAL situation of all relevant fields of action related to energy is followed in a second step by the development of a broad roadmap for the long-term, strategic positioning of your company.

The examination is carried out from the inside out. The analysis of the energy requirements is followed by the assessment of the energy generation and finally the review of the energy acquisition rules. The specifics of the project sequence are coordinated with the customer. After determining the suitable system components, the savings potentials are estimated by means of a preliminary study. A detailed study is conducted to define these estimated savings potentials in more detail, to determine the appropriate procedures and to calculate the economic viability. Upon completion of the guaranteed energy savings contract, the procedures are implemented in accordance with the economic viability or the degree of production improvement. As soon as the procedures have been implemented, the contractually guaranteed savings start to take effect. In the context of quality control, continuous reporting and regular optimisation with regard to the resource-efficient operation of your production will take place.

GETEC heat transformation is a particularly innovative project in the field of efficiency improvement. It involves the transformation of lost waste heat from a lower temperature level into useful heat with a higher value by means of a special process. No additional primary energy is used for this procedure. Exclusively the energy content of the lost heat is used, and part of it returned to the production processes in the form of useful heat. These kinds of innovative solutions will be part of future energy supply concepts in times of the move toward renewable energies, where the main task is to reduce CO₂ in the industry and customers have a vested interest in keeping the value of spent resources within the company as efficiently as possible.

With the co-operative energy service contracting models, GETEC and its customers are making a significant contribution to the protection of the environment. The implemented efficiency measures help lower CO₂ emissions, thereby conserving the environment.

With energy savings performance contracting, GETEC on average helps its customers save almost 30 percent of energy. In so doing, the field of action focuses mainly on the examination of their production processes and the optimisation of the cross-sectional technologies of the production, such as e.g. lighting, compressed air, drives, cooling and ventilation.

Furthermore, GETEC customers benefit from the transparency generated in the field of energy for the long-term, strategic positioning of their company and for leveraging their success.
