With the FTE, go far beyond basic energy efficiency measures.
Turning off equipment when not in use, replacing fluorescent or halogen lighting with LEDs, or insulating walls and pipes are no longer sufficient in the current inflationary context.
However, one of the most interesting aspects of energy efficiency in industry is that, in many cases, companies can benefit from significant improvements and gains with very little or no investment expenditure, with the support of the Energy Transition Fund.
Benefits, Eligibility, and Membership Procedures
