ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT AND ENERGY SAVING ARRANGEMENTS MAINSTREAMING AT MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES OF THE REGIONAL CLUSTER

In the current context, improvement of the cost effectiveness of energy saving arrangements and more efficient use of the process technologies being mastered at manufacturing enterprises functioning within the regional cluster represent one of the high-priority prerequisites that allow reducing production cost, mitigating financial risks, and increasing the value added. The problematic issues related to working out of the package of energy saving measures and further assessment of impact of the energy-saving projects on performance and sustainability of a particular enterprise are still uderinvestigated. With the background above outlined, the present paper offers methodological approach that has been developed and proven by the author in order to apply the offered approach for assessment of the interrelation between various energy saving factors and their impact on the production cost structure, financial risk level, and improvement of energy efficiency and sustainability of the enterprise.
