The Energy Efficiency Certificates (TEE), also called white certificates, are established by Decree of the Ministry of Industry, in consultation with the Minister of Environment and Territory Protection 20 July 2004 (DM 20/7/04 electricity, DM 20/7/04 gas) subsequently amended and supplemented by the DM 21/12/07 determining the national quantitative targets of energy efficiency.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
CO-VER Power Technology, as an ESCo (accredited by the GSE, UNI CEI 11352: 2014), offers a complete service including energy audits (pursuant to art. 8 of Legislative Decree no. 102/2014) , measurement campaigns, monitoring systems, in order to identify necessary actions aimed at reducing energy costs, until the proposed activities relate to the preparation of documentation for the application and management of paperwork for the GSE, in order to obtain the TEE for subsequent commercial use.
The process begins with documentary and experimental analysis at the Client’s plant to record process data and associated consumption.
The process continues with the study of potential improvement actions to reduce energy consumption based upon the monitored data defining, with the Client, objectives and consequent actions to be taken in the light of technical and economic feasibility studies.
CO-VER Power Technology also provides services for researching proposals for funding related to incentives for the running of energy, supporting the customer during the application procedure in order to ensure the allocation of the contributions.
