ENERGY STRATEGIC PLANNING

An Energy Strategic Plan can help large-scale energy users better manage their energy costs and consumption, enhancing both financial performance and environmental impact. At MEI, an Energy Strategic Plan encompasses and coordinates activities in four key areas of energy strategy and performance: auditing, procurement, funding, and policy.

An Energy Strategic Plan can guide management decision-making, and has the advantage of offering a holistic approach to energy management so that each element of the Plan enhances and supports the other elements.
