🏆 CASE STUDY: Eddy's Food Station 🏆 Since opening their first store in May 2022, Eddy's Food Station has been on a mission to provide high-quality, Scottish daily takeaway options and groceries. With ambitious plans to expand to 30 Scottish sites within their initial 5 years of operation, they knew that efficient energy management was crucial to their bottom line. 📊 The Challenge 📊 With a diverse offering and high-volume operation, refrigeration and heating appliances were in constant use, leading to significant energy expenses. In such a competitive industry, every penny counts, making energy costs a critical consideration for Eddy's Food Station. 💼 Our Proactive Energy Strategy 💼 At Utili-Tay, we recognised the importance of a proactive energy strategy for Eddy's. Instead of just fixing with one supplier, we recommended a flexible buying contract. By sourcing from multiple suppliers and price points, we ensured they got the best prices and substantial savings. 🗣️ David Southern, Eddy's Food Station 🗣️ "𝘞𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘜𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘪-𝘛𝘢𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦.

Great news for Rockhampton's manufacturing sector—Dean Street Bakery in Frenchville has been awarded over $11,000 through the Queensland Government's Manufacturing Energy Efficiency Grant (MEEG) program. This grant will support the bakery's investment in new equipment to significantly reduce its annual electricity consumption and operational costs. The bakery will utilise the grant to purchase equipment that allows for greater control over energy use during the dough proofing process, leading to estimated annual electricity bill savings of $2,400. Sam Hayman, owner of Dean Street Bakery, is delighted with the opportunity to bolster the bakery's sustainability efforts while achieving cost reductions. He emphasises the critical role of energy savings for small businesses, particularly in the current economic landscape. This initiative aligns with the $7.1 million MEEG program's objective of assisting Queensland manufacturers in transitioning towards a low-carbon future by implementing energy efficiency practices. The MEEG grant program empowers local manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices, meeting the growing demand for net zero supply chains. It underscores the significance of minimising energy waste to reduce carbon footprints and support small businesses in achieving their sustainability goals. Queensland manufacturers seeking to enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and lower emissions are encouraged to apply for the MEEG program before applications close on June 30 2024, or when funds are exhausted.

Servitised Solar-Assisted Refrigeration with Energy Partners   How you refrigerate matters! Amidst South Africa’s energy crisis and stagnant economic climate, Servitisation can help you build resilience and unlock savings in your cold chain. Already adopted by Clover S.A., Sovereign Foods, Dr Oetker and Lynca Meats, the model means that customers only pay a fixed fee per unit of refrigeration used, with zero investment and zero operational and maintenance costs. If you manage, operate and maintain a cooling system, you’re all too familiar with the demands involved. From scheduling and coordinating maintenance, to constant alarm monitoring and navigating the impact of loadshedding. https://lnkd.in/d_8Enjdb #energy #partners #refrigertion #investments #cooling #loadshedding #loadsheddingsolutions

SDG7️⃣, to “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”, exemplifies both Kenya’s achievements and the challenges that remain. Access to grid-based electricity and LPG has grown rapidly. However, over 9️⃣0️⃣% of Kenyans still rely on polluting fuels like wood, charcoal and kerosene for cooking. Substantial effort is needed to ensure all Kenyans have access to clean cooking options by 2️⃣0️⃣3️⃣0️⃣. This article📄presents the results of a pilot study in which gasifier-based pellet stoves were introduced in 150 peri-urban households. The stoves include an internal fan that improves combustion efficiency and reduces emissions by 90–99% relative to charcoal and fuelwood in traditional devices. Some of the households received stoves with “pay-as-you-cook” (PAYC) hardware, some without. This hardware relies on a pre-paid RFID card to activate the stove’s internal fan, allowing vendors to sell the stove below cost and recoup losses through pellet sales.
