Group Finances is offering new energy audit services. Today energy audit is not only a prerequisite for energy-efficient, reliable and safe operation of a business but also what law requires.
On November 23, 2009 President Medvedev signed into law federal draft #261-FZ “On energy efficiency and energy saving.” According to the law, new rules and requirements for the use of energy take effect from January 1, 2010, aimed at lower consumption and boosted efficiency. Energy audit is defined herewith as one of the key measures to boost corporate efficiency.
Corporate energy audit includes assessment of how a company consumes fuels and any other sort of energy, as well as some other resources like water. Audit aims at evaluating the efficiency of energy resources and developing cost-saving measures.
Government companies and organizations’ production and investment plans now can’t but take into account energy-saving and efficiency programs; this will help properly consider energy-saving program expenses when projecting revenues. Upon implementing such programs whatever is saved on energy can be kept on the account of a budget-reliant entity, the law says adding that the saving mentioned must be left unspent for at least five years following the year of saving.
The law also calls for providing an entity with a tax loan and gives the possibility for applying factor 2 to capital charges, if the entity creates projects with high energy efficiency.
Group Finances offers energy audit services in collaboration with the Moscow Energy Institute and employs in its work the Institute’s advanced energy efficiency recommendations.
Group Finances is a consultancy with a broad range of services offered; therefore when conducting energy audit, company specialists not only develop an energy-saving and efficiency program, the firm claims, but also elaborate an investment program for government-run entities.
The company reportedly provides consulting services as regards spending on energy-efficient equipment and legal services at contract-drafting stages. Group Finances provides tariff justification, an assessment of an investment program, energy loss calculations, fuel consumption computing, fuel inventory evaluation, etc.
The company says it embarks on highly customized approaches to energy-saving program development, and can reportedly assist a client in choosing energy-efficient equipment with an optimal price-to-quality ratio.
As Group Finances says, it interacts internationally with both equipment makers and financial institutions. This provides good synergies for clients, it believes, as its customers and partners both within and without Russia can look for least costly solutions that will yield well.
Energy auditors can only be legal entities that are members of self-regulated organizations and registered as such by the RF government. A Group Finances subsidiary reportedly meets all these requirements and is certified to legitimately audit entities of all forms of ownership.
