IMPROVED MECHANISM AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY MODEL FOR MANDATORY ENERGY AUDIT OF ENERGY CONSUMERS
Abstract
This article develops an improved organizational and economic mechanism for conducting mandatory energy audits of energy consumers under the conditions of Uzbekistan. The study proposes a model for the differential categorization of energy consumers, a step-by-step algorithm for the audit process, an analysis method based on the energy balance, and formulas for assessing economic efficiency. A model for a digitalized monitoring system has also been developed. The research results will serve to increase energy efficiency, reduce the energy costs of industrial enterprises, and strengthen national energy security.
Keywords
Today, energy costs at industrial enterprises account for 15–40 percent of production costs. Rising energy resource prices and instability in the global energy market are making increasing energy efficiency a strategic task.
