Development, implementation and ongoing operation of a state-of-the-art cogeneration plant at Auckland City Hospital has earned Energy for Industry a nomination as a finalist in two of the Awards' categories - the Innovation category and the Energy Supplier category. The new facility supplies baseload heat and electricity, as well as standby power, to the hospital.
A cutting edge new heat plant at Winstone Pulp International developed by Energy for Industry is also a finalist in the Awards' Innovation category. The 12MW wood waste fired heat plant uses latest technology in a very challenging environment to supply thermal energy for drying pulp.
The Energy Supplier category recognises initiatives that best achieve an efficient supply-demand balance.
The Innovation category recognises services, products or projects in end-use energy efficiency and/or renewable energy.
Energy for Industry is also a major sponsor of the Awards, being the category sponsor for the Industrial/Manufacturing Award.
