Anglian Windows, a company renowned for producing energy efficient windows and doors, has been taking a hard look at the energy costs associated with its own sites with help from specialist consultant, Energy 2000 ( http://www.energy2000.co.uk ). This move has yielded significant first year results for Anglian.

Detailed scoping studies occurred at six main Anglian sites to establish current energy usage habits, with every significant item of manufacturing equipment monitored and logged. Reports were then produced to identify all potential energy saving measures, from no cost/low cost recommendations through to high capital expenditure projects. As a direct result of the recommendations made by Energy 2000, Anglian will save a predicted 850+ tonnes of carbon per annum, equating to a financial saving of approximately £175,000 each year.

Anglian Windows has now embarked on the second phase of its carbon reduction programme.

However, it wasn't only Anglian's energy usage that gave cause for concern. With an annual energy bill in the region of £1.6 million, the company also asked Energy 2000 to review its current prices and billing arrangements. After developing an agreed purchasing strategy, looking at forward buying and assessing the best times to trade, savings of over £300,000 were achieved. Further annual savings of £30,000 will be achieved in later 2007 when Energy 2000 completes its work to obtain Climate Change Levy rebates on qualifying sites' energy invoices. As a direct consequence of these activities, combined first year savings will be over £1/2 million - almost a third of Anglian's total annual costs.

Chris Dixon, engineering director at Anglian Windows, comments: "Energy 2000 was selected as our partner because of its positive approach, affordability and commitment to work with, and not just for, Anglian. We have enjoyed a very successful first year with Energy 2000. Savings have been identified and prioritised and, with a pro-active approach, we will continue to drive down our energy costs and reduce carbon emissions."
