Classification of Types of Energy Efficiency Management of Modern Enterprises

Abstract

The subject of the study is the content of the energy efficiency management process of the enterprise. In accordance with the proposed approach, energy efficiency management is a complex of consistently implemented functions of analysis, planning, organization, motivation, control and evaluation of the actual effectiveness of measures to reduce the level of energy intensity of production and other activities, formed taking into account the requirements and capabilities determined by formal institutions, and focused on ensuring stable growth of financial and economic and social efficiency of the enterprise. The object of the study is the classification of types of energy efficiency management of the company. The research methods are a critical analysis of the specialized literature on energy efficiency, the synthesis of various scientific and methodological approaches, the study of time series. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the author supplemented the classification of types of energy efficiency management of the enterprise according to such criteria as the time factor, the degree of centralization of management, sources of financing, the involvement of external practices and third-party consultants, the degree of validity of management activities. The classification supplemented by us allows us to determine the type of energy saving management depending on the goals and objectives of the long-term financial, economic and social development of the enterprise itself, the available resource base, the available human resources of the engineering and energy profile, the state and likely trends of changes in the fuel and energy market, primarily individual tariffs for energy resources and other factors. All other things being equal, the most potentially financial and socially effective is the management of the energy efficiency of the enterprise, which is justified on the basis of a set of modern econometric models, is centralized, carried out at the expense of its own sources of financing, is appropriately balanced in strategic, tactical and operational management sections.
