Introduction

ISO 50001 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system, whose purpose is to enable an organization to follow a systematic approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, energy use and consumption.

Energy Management System (EnMS) Plan can be developed by an organization in line with ISO 50001 Standard: Energy Management System.

The primary objective of this EnMS Plan will be to identify the significant energy users and to optimize the energy consumption within the organization. The following Goals can be targeted by developing an EnMS Plan by any organization:

  • Maximize fiscal resources through direct and indirect energy savings.

  • To comply with applicable in-house, National and International HSE Regulations/ Systems

  • Reduce the environmental impact of any operations.

  • Increase the comfort and safety of employees and all concerned of the organization.

  • Improve the reliability of equipment and reduce maintenance.

  • Provide the guidance and leadership necessary for the adoption of a culture of sustainability.
