Division Specific energy consumption (energy efficiency) levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AEPLs)
United Kingdom
The environmental performance levels related to specific energy consumption refer to yearly averages calculated using the following equation:
where:
energy consumption activity rate
the total amount of heat (generated by primary energy sources) and electricity consumed by the plant, as defined in the energy efficiency plan (see BAT 19 (a)), expressed in MWh/year;
total amount of products processed by the plant or plant throughput, expressed in the appropriate unit depending on the sector (e.g. kg/year, m2/year, vehicles coated/year).
