Companies that consume more than 15 GWh of energy annually, or 1.29 ktoe of energy are designated as the subject of the Act. The criteria need careful assessment by energy users for their designation status. Annual 15 GWh of electricity consumption suggest a significantly large energy user, however, any business unit consuming fuel together with electricity may notice depending on the MWh conversion to ktoe, the designation picture can be quite different. Furthermore the title of Part III includes "domestic" sector which suggest the Act eventually would cover wider ranges of energy users.
Key element of the act is that the designated business unit is required to appoint a qualified energy manager who will be in charge of preparing and submitting periodic energy consumption report, energy efficiency improvement plans, maintaining energy records, training and educating employees,etc as well as to pursue the improvement of energy efficiency in the premises. The act reserves option to inspect the site for the compliance.
The background in enforcing of the act is:
- To help Singapore achieve the target of a 35% improvement in energy
intensity by 2030, from 2005 levels.
- To improve the energy performance of companies and thus making them
more competitive in the global economy.
- To complement existing schemes and capability building programmes
which provide support for companies investing in energy efficiency.
- To ensure a co-ordinated approach to standards setting for energy
efficiency across all sectors.
These suggest that the Act is aiming energy users to enhance their energy management operation. Therefore the Act and ISO 50001 International Standard for Energy Management System can provide synergy effect for the economically sound energy efficiency improvement drive for Singapore to achieve the target.
The workshop designed for business oriented high level person responsible for energy management operation designated by and reported to the top management will highlight in the following areas:
- Business aspects of the Energy Management System (EnMS) operation.
- Capturing the ISO 50001 International Standard for EnMS and ENCON Act as opportunity for building up global competitiveness.
- Integration aspects of the established management system such as ISO 90001 and ISO 14001, etc. with ISO 50001 EnMS.
At the end of workshop, the participants will go back to their organisation to build up ISO 50001 Class EnMS operation providing continual energy performance improvement in their organisation; gaining significant energy cost reduction as well as carbon gas reduction. Similar workshop was held in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia in September where participants appreciating the essence and the superiority of the ISO 50001 Class EnMS operation through the best practice approach. )
