- Energy Efficiency Typical Investments

Below is a list of typical investments in energy efficiency. The list is non-exhaustive. UKEEP can finance any eligible investments that will decrease energy consumption or increase own production from renewable sources.

• On site cogeneration of heat and electricity
• Rehabilitation of boilers (enhanced controls, economizers, improved insulation, regenerative burners, automatic blow-down, etc.)
• Replacement of old gas boilers with condensing boilers
• Switch from electricity heating to fuel based direct heating
• Process improvements including enhanced controls
• Rehabilitation of steam distribution systems: installation of steam traps, increased condensate recovery, etc.
• Installation of heat recovery from processes (e.g., installation of economizers for pre-heating purposes, heat recovery for space heating, heat recovery for drying, etc.)
• Installation of absorption chillers
• Installation of new chillers
• Installation of Variable Speed Drives on selected electric motors
• Rehabilitation of compressed air systems (e.g., decentralisation and/or resizing of air compressors, replacement of old air compressors with new efficient ones)
• Rehabilitation of power distribution systems (e.g., replacement of old or oversized transformers, installation of capacitors to reduce reactive power consumption, etc.)
• Implementation of Energy Management Systems or Building Management Systems

• Wind farms
• Run-of-river hydro plants
• Solar water systems generating hot water for processes and/or heating
• Biomass systems generating heat only or heat and electricity
• Gas engines using biogas
• Diesel engines using biodiesel
• Geothermal heat pumps
