Title-
How ShouldFood and Drink Manufacturers Address Rising EnergyCosts in the Light of Brexit?
Synopsis-
In a post-referendum UK the lower pound should be a boon to food manufacturers seeking growth in export markets. However as food and drink manufacturing is an energy intensive process, businesses are facing rapidly rising energy costs caused by increases in the wholesale and pass-through components of power prices. Concerned about this and the decades of underinvestment in UK energy infrastructure, manufacturers are increasingly looking at energy sources that are cost-effective, resilient and sustainable.
Large industrial energy users have used on-site power generation, in the form of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) for decades. A combination of technical and business model innovation is now making CHP particularly attractive for food and drink manufacturers, with an increasing number of successful projects in the sector which are reducing energy costs and carbon emissions.
In this seminarBasePower will discussrecent improvements in on-site power generation,heat and cooling, usingaward-winning case studies from the foodand industrial sectors. These case studies show how high-volume energy users have accessedfully financed, build-own-operate CHP schemes without any requirement for capital expenditure, and have beeninstalled without any interruption to operations.
