How to do “air compressor contract energy management”?

The business logic of “contract energy management”

As the main body of the market economy, enterprises are typical rational economic persons, with the fundamental goal of maximizing their own interests, and they will not take the initiative to accept any behavior that increases their operating costs or damages their own interests. Even if the government forces enterprises to save energy, it will only bring about temporary obedience and superficial changes, but will not generate internal energy-saving motivation.

As a service mechanism that uses market means to promote energy conservation, the “contract energy management” model has zero investment and zero risk for energy-saving customers. Users use future energy-saving benefits to upgrade plants and equipment and reduce current operating costs. The contract energy management model has solved the non-market factor obstacles in the promotion of energy conservation to a large extent.

At the same time, through the professional guarantee of the energy-saving service company, the establishment of a good image of the user’s corporate social responsibility and environmental responsibility, and then enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise and many other advantages, it will help achieve a multi-win situation for the participants of the contract energy management project.

Development of “Energy Management Contract”

The market capacity of my country’s energy-saving service industry has exceeded trillions, and contract energy management is the most important business model of the entire energy-saving industry. However, the current “contract energy management” market is far from mature, and there is huge room for development.

Contract energy management has strong vitality, but compared with the huge market space, its development is not smooth sailing, and it is even in an embarrassing situation where it is popular but not well-received. Various macro and micro obstacles lead to many difficulties.

From the perspective of business logic, the industrial private sector should be the target user group that is most likely to accept the contract energy management model. However, the imperfect domestic business environment and credit system have caused slow progress in the development of contract energy management projects. At present, 70% of the real contract energy management projects are concentrated in the fields of construction and transportation. The projects are mainly transportation, lighting, heating, building energy conservation and other projects, and these fields are usually public institutions. Energy management is still government-oriented and policy-oriented. However, in the industrial sector, especially the private sector, energy-saving services are still based on energy-saving technologies.

In the production process of large-scale industrial projects, the projects suitable for contract energy management overlap with the production technical transformation projects of enterprises, which requires energy-saving service companies to understand and have technical capabilities in the overall process of production processes. Obviously, this is very important for energy-saving service companies. It is difficult to obtain. How design institutes and general contracting companies get involved is a key factor for the real marketization of the energy-saving industry.

How to do “air compressor contract energy management”?

What should be done? To be honest, I don’t know, but to do air compressor contract energy management, at least the following elements need to be met.

1. Talent

In the final analysis, air compressor contract energy management is a business model with technical services as the core, and the business level requires professional talents to support it. On-site experience in compressed air systems is especially important.

2. Supply chain

Contract energy management projects focus more on energy efficiency and stability of energy-saving products, and mass-produced products may not meet the requirements, so it is required to fully grasp the industry product information.

3. Funds

Undoubtedly, under the existing policy framework and financing environment, self-owned funds are an inevitable requirement.

4. Risk control/operation and maintenance and efficiency tools

The risk control of the contract is very important to the energy-saving service company, and the risk control mechanism must strike a balance between business development and risk control is the subject of the energy-saving service company. The operation and maintenance system of an energy-saving company is equivalent to the production system of a manufacturing company, and the ratio of production to investment depends on the efficiency of the operation and maintenance system, so it is necessary to adopt corresponding efficiency tools.
