In the case of energy consumption, the assessed companies
consume a monthly total of ca 4,500,000 kWh, equivalent to the
consumption of 117 kWh/tRM, which represents a reduction of 25%
in comparison to the initial evaluation time. This consumption is
equivalent to a total cost (considering all companies) of ca. $
500,000 or approximately 9.5 $/tRM (in U.S. dollars), which means
an increase of 17% in comparison to the initial evaluation period
before the APL measures were implemented.
With the electrical equipment used in plant, the agreement
outlined the implementation of best practices and preventive
measures for their maintenance. This implementation can be reflected
in the increased cost of equipment maintenance, which
currently amounts to ca 500,000 $/month, equivalent to approximately
9.5 $/tRM, increasing by 46% over the initial period.
