PEP2040 - potentian and challenges

The Energy Policy of Poland until 2040 (PEP 2040), adopted by the government, recognises the improvement of energy efficiency (EE) as one of 8 specific objectives for the transformation of the economy towards low-carbon. The implementation of PEP 2040 may become an economic stimulus for many domestic industries, and the potential to improve energy efficiency in Polish industry is still enormous and does not always need capital-intensive technologies. However, the application of an optimum solution in technical as well as economic terms requires a detailed energy efficiency audit, the implementation of which is often avoided by enterprises, trying to meet the statutory obligation only to a minimum extent.

Implementation of the company's development strategy

The General Meeting of Shareholders of DB Energy adopted a resolution on the issue of shares and transition to the Warsaw Stock Exchange Main Market.

Energy efficiency improvement projects implemented in the ESCO formula as a way to build a competitive advantage in industry!

European industry is facing challenges of the EU obligation to reduce emissions CO₂ and improve the energy efficiency of production. In the current economic slowdown, implementation of energy efficiency solutions can be a way to build a competitive advantage in the industry. With limited resources for investments, one of the optimal ways to implement them is to use the ESCO formula. This model does not involve the company's financial resources and guarantees savings and cash from energy efficiency already in the first year after project implementation.
