    What the Energy Efficiency Act means for companies

    German industry is facing a new challenge: the Energy Efficiency Act, which came into force in October. But what does it mean for your company in concrete terms? Are you affected, and if so, how can you best prepare for it?

    Our expert Felix Kiesele will guide you through the complex requirements of this law. Find out how your company can not only comply with the new regulations, but also increase energy efficiency and reduce costs.

    In our latest ENIT insights video, we uncover what's behind the law, who is affected and how you can successfully implement the required energy audits and management systems. Discover the potential in energy efficiency that SMEs in particular often leave untapped and use this as an opportunity for a more sustainable future.

    Summary

    • For the first time, the Energy Efficiency Act has created a cross-sectoral framework for greater energy efficiency that implements key requirements from the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
    • Companies with an average total energy consumption of more than 2.5 GWh must carry out regular energy audits, identify cost-effective energy-saving measures and draw up and publish implementation plans.
    • If the threshold of 7.5 GWh average total energy consumption is exceeded, an energy management or environmental management system must be introduced within 20 months. Waste heat sources must also be recorded and evaluated, and technically feasible final energy saving measures and measures for waste heat recovery and use must be implemented, provided they are economically viable.

    Our conclusion for you:

    Don't just meet the minimum requirements, but ask yourself which developments will become even more important in the future. Lay the right foundations now so that you can continue to set yourself apart from your competitors. If you need to introduce an energy management system, make sure you choose a system that works independently of measurement technology, provides interfaces to relevant company software and can be adapted to your requirements on a modular basis.
