Energy audits provide businesses with a clear understanding of their energy and water usage, highlighting areas of waste and opportunities for sustainable improvements. In this session, a representative from the Energy & Water Agency will share insights into the auditing process, showcasing surprising findings and cost-saving measures that can enhance efficiency. We’ll also explore financial support options to help businesses undertake energy audits and implement sustainable changes.
EE4SME is a LIFE-funded EU project in which the Malta Business Bureau and Energy & Water Agency collaborate as partners within a wider European consortium.
Agenda:
Energy Audits
Energy Audits are a way for businesses to understand how energy & water is being used within the building, identifies areas where there is waste, and recommend what may be done to make the business operate in a more sustainable & cost-effective way. An official from The Energy & Water Agency will explain the often surprising findings that emanate from such reports, and also the financial grants that are available to fund the energy audits.
Best Practices
An enterprise has been invited to share its experience about the benefits at investing in various energy saving technologies and taking other steps to minimise waste and conserve energy.
Financial Aid
Several businesses have a desire to invest in energy & water technologies but lack the necessary capital or expertise to make such investment. Some businesses are unaware of the various funding opportunities, and others experience difficulty to tap such funding. Officers from Malta Enterprise and Transport Malta will explain three funding opportunities, and the help that is available to apply for such funding.
Case Studies
Numerous funding opportunities are available, and these are offered by different entities, such as Malta Enterprise, fondi.eu, REWS, EWA, Transport Malta, and financial institutions. But where may I find help to identify the funding that matches my needs? The Malta Business Bureau will be going through a web-based platform which groups together all funding opportunities. The Energy & Water Agency will furthermore be referring to another option on the site which lists several best practices & tutorials relating to energy efficiency.
