An independent external organisation carried out a periodic Survey of the energy efficiency of Herti’s industrial system at the beginning of July. The achieved results of introduced measures to increase energy efficiency for the period 2019-2023 were reported, and measures and goals for the next four years were identified.
As a result of the investments made over the past four years, a reduction in the used primary energy has been achieved, as the saving is 5160 937 MWh for 2023 compared to 2019. The emissions saved in 2023 compared to 2019 are 1017.62 tons of CO2, and the energy consumption per unit output is reduced from 0.0052 kWh/ pc to 0.0045 kWh/ pc.
Measures and investments in the next few years amounting to BGN 6 million have been identified. Their implementation is expected to achieve annual energy savings of 1048.65 MWh and save emissions of 235.6 tons of CO2 per year.
In connection with the set goals for reducing energy costs and using green energy, from 01.07.2024 Herti concluded a contract for the supply of 100% green energy from solar, wind and water plants, for which it will receive a guarantee of origin from the Agency for sustainable energy development.
