We joined the energy efficiency agreement of the business sector in the fall of 2022 to find new ways to save energy in our operations. We are aiming for a 7.5 percent reduction in our energy consumption by the end of the energy efficiency agreement period, which runs until 2025.
The most energy in Piako’s operations is consumed in heating the facilities. Production machines and equipment, such as sheet cutting machines and the compressed air system, come in a close second in energy consumption. Energy efficiency is being sought through both larger and smaller savings measures. Replacing old lighting with more energy-efficient LED technology and listening for possible leaks in the compressed air system during quiet times in the production facilities are examples of small actions that together form larger streams.
