ESEIA PLATFORMS

The four platforms are ENERGY EFFICIENCY & USAGE, ENERGY PROVISION, ENERGY INTELLIGENCE and ENERGY INTEGRATION. These platforms form the content of work which provides the organisations with links and opportunities for collaboration. The platforms take a four step approach (reduction, production, implementation and integration) vital for implementing sustainable energy systems.

1.

The first step is based around reduction; the ENERGY EFFICIENCY & USAGE platform focuses on increasing energy efficiency and pushes innovation in both new and existing technologies.

2.

The ENERGY PROVISION platform is the second step, production of clean energy through a wide range of resources and methods.

3.

The third step is the implementation of clean energy through the ENERGY INTELLIGENCE platform with expertise, such as smart grids, which provide the infrastructure to distribute to the user.

4.

The last platform, ENERGY INTEGRATION provides the necessary parameters to integrate the energy systems in the regional environment, including policy measures, master planning & environmental analysis.
