Launch of NZ Energy SolutioNZ 1 March 2005
Five world-leading New Zealand companies are forming an alliance to assist organisations to set up simple, effective and guaranteed energy management solutions.
NZ Energy SolutioNZ will be launched at 7.30am on 1 March 2005 with a presentation by Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority chief executive Heather Staley.
It is an alliance of five experienced New Zealand companies that combines specialist energy knowledge with a detailed understanding of the operating and legislative environment of the New Zealand public and private sector. The organisations are Energy Technical Services (ETS), e-Bench, MWH, Energy Intellect and Stream Information.
e-Bench and ETS Director Geoff Bennett says that New Zealand organisations have been hampered in their implementation of energy management systems because of the complexity of the task.
“The partners in NZ Energy SolutioNZ provide a one-stop shop for management of all forms of energy use. We guarantee that your energy and utility consumption will drop if you partner with us.”
NZ Energy SolutioNZ provides a complete range of services including policy, metering, procurement, consultancy, software analysis, energy audits, advice and planning, and engineering solutions.
MWH Energy and Industrial Manager, Andy Fox says, “MWH is involved as this is a unique solution for local government. All alliance partners have a strong and successful track record in the public sector and with MWH’s 650 staff working from 22 offices we are able to assist local government to a degree that surpasses what we have been able to achieve previously.”
“With ever rising costs and increasing focus on better utilisation the requirements for effective energy management are beyond most organisations. Our services make it easy.”
Local Authority Signs – Porirua City Council
Porirua City Council have signed with NZ Energy SolutioNZ to achieve a 10% saving on energy costs and a two year pay back. This makes PCC the first council to use the combined resources of NZ Energy SolutioNZ.
The NZ Energy SolutioNZ proposal was successful against other proposals and is likely to include a wide range of services including level 1 and 2 audits, implementation expenditure and monitoring.
Helen Schafer, Porirua City Council Zero Waste Co-ordinator “We considered other proposals but chose NZ Energy SolutioNZ for their cost effectiveness, technical expertise, co-ordinated approach to provide a wide range of services and their investment in future proofing. We also see the e-Bench product as being very useful to manage costs and consumption.
We have a range of assets and we are expecting savings of 10% which in turn will provide a two year pay back for the NZ Energy SolutioNZ initiative”
“We are excited to be working with Porirua City Council and see their involvement as testimony to the interest there is from other local authorities as they attempt to manage their energy.” Geoff Bennett, representative of NZ Energy SolutioNZ.
