Solution
DETA facilitated monthly energy management discussions, provided energy audits to identify new opportunities, and prepared feasibility studies to develop opportunities to business case level.
Outcome
DETA managed Westland Milk Products' energy programme for 3 years and reduced operating costs in this time by almost $250,000.
