Wilson Hellaby
Consulting Monitoring

A combination of monitoring, consulting services and a collaborative approach ESP and Wilson Hellaby have worked together over a number of years to continuously improve and sustain energy and water efficiency gains.

Wilson Hellaby

Challenge

Wilson Hellaby at their Auckland Site wanted to better understand their energy use in different areas of the plant. Additionally, they were keen to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs at their site.

Solution

ESP installed electrical submetering followed by ongoing consultancy services to engage with the site. ESP consultants regularly engage with site for after-hours review, steering group meetings, building business cases, and carry out detailed analysis of sub systems.

Outcome

In the last 4 years, the engagement has managed to achieve energy reductions of 11 million kWh equating to over $1 million. The site has not only reduced utility costs but also reduce maintenance costs.

WineWorks

WineWorks are now a Toitū carbonzero accredited business, with the monitoring and services provided by ESP helping to identify and deliver the required improvements to achieve this goal.

WineWorks

Challenge

WineWorks have set a goal of improving sustainability, however to improve operational performance and reduce scope 2 emissions the team need to gain timely visibility of electricity, LPG and water consumption at their Malborough plant.

Solution

ESP completed a Type 2 energy audit and installed targeted electricity metering supported by EECA funding. The analysis identified a range of efficiency opportunities including lighting, compresed air, nitrogen and after hours usage. Detailed monitoring identified how production usage and other factors impacted energy use, allowing accurate businesses cases to be developed. 

Outcome

A clear plan of improvement was established to deliver initial savings. In the first 12 months lighting was replaced and a preventative maintenance plan to regularly check and fix air leaks was put in place. Monitoring has also provided the information needed to demonstrate to staff the benefits of improved shutdown procedures and the ability to continuously monitor impact. In the first year savings of 5% were achieved with a further 15% to 20% planned in the near future with upgrades to the nitrogen system and air compressors. The site is also looking forward to the new dashboard, with energy efficiency featuring more strongly in manager and team leader objectives…sustainability integrated into business performance!
