• Only 8 % of the companies have a very advanced level of energy management. The
largest is the group of companies aware of energy management (about 45%).
• The highest is the number of energy efficiency and RES measures implemented for
the improvement of thermal insulation (14%), efficient lighting (11%), technology
improvements (10,5%) and thermal insulation of buildings (10,5%) – measures of
relatively low investments and a short pay-back period. The lowest is the number of
co-generation and RES measures (1-2), which require relatively high investments.
• The highest is the number of the planned measures for implementation of systems of
energy monitoring (12%), efficient lighting (12,7%), technology improvements (9,6%)
and thermo-insulation of buildings 10,2%), efficient motor control (10,2). There is an
increased interest in the cogeneration measures (4,8%) and renewable energy sources
(6,6%) which require relatively high investments. In general, the companies with a
highest number of implemented measures plan to introduce more measures during the
next periods.
