EFFECT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS ON THE PROFITABILITY OF ENTERPRISES
Abstract
Passes through channels such as reducing energy costs through investments, reducing energy consumption per unit of output, increasing operational efficiency, and strengthening financial stability. Empirical and international sources show that effective programs increase enterprise revenues by quickly saving costs and increasing competitiveness; for success, financing mechanisms and monitoring are required. Additionally, long-term ROI and market value will be improved by reducing waste and enhancing the brand image, but political support and financial mechanisms are essential.
Keywords
