Kneading Out Energy Savings

TEST Consulting was tasked with conducting an Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) audit at a bread manufacturing plant, which was consuming a substantial 21 million kWh of energy annually.

To address this challenge, TEST Consulting conducted a thorough site audit, collecting over 230 photographs to compile an extensive evidence pack. Following the site audit, the team developed a detailed 62-page report, outlining nine key interventions aimed at improving energy efficiency. These interventions were projected to yield substantial energy savings, estimated at 12 million kWh annually. This translates to a financial saving of around £2 million for the plant. The total projected cost for implementing these energy-saving measures was approximately £2.7 million, indicating a strong potential return on investment and a significant step towards more sustainable operations.
