4.2.2 Power Plant AudIts The audIt actIvIties associated wIth the total power plant consisted pnmarily of a reVIew of the vanous avaIlable publications and brochures produced by the vanous agencIes and by the Ministry of Power and ElectnficatIon as well as from drawmgs and diagrams provided by the engineers at the power plant. Much mformation and insIght was also gamed through the mterviews related to the system specific audIts at all levels. Many of the personnel employed m the power plant have had experience m areas other than the one m whIch they currently work, and thIS was useful as background material. 5906-01l02A/BURSHTYN/5/17/95 11
5.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Low-Cost. No-Cost Short Tenn Opportunities ECO-Ol ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONSERVATION PROGRAM The Deputy DIrector is responsible for energy conservatIon and efficiency Improvements at the Burshtyn power plant In additIOn to his other dutIes. Because of the shortage of hard currency to pay for imported fuel all of the management is highly motIvated to find ways to improve operating effiCIencIes In order to achIeve effective fuel utilization, and all employees are aware of the need for conservation. However, the eXIstIng program must be expanded and enhanced with management restructunng and new procedures to prepare for the comIng pnvatIzatIon reforms. These changes will help to prepare the plant to be commercIally onented by incorporatIng western management methods and procedures. The stated goals for thIS program, as a mimmum, should be emphasIzed as follows: • Conserve energy • Reduce environmental pollutIon • Improve operatIOnal efficiency • Improve equipment reliabIlIty • Introduce new technologIes The stated purpose for an expanded energy management program should be to provide a basis for attracting private financing and future Investments for a viable enterpnse haVIng the potentIal for success. As a first step, a hIghly VISIble management staff pOSItIon and/or de<strong>part</strong>ment should be establIshed reporting to the dIrector and haVIng the responsibilIty and authonty to develop, Implement and momtor energy conservatIOn, traIning, relIabIlity and rehabIlItatIOn programs The pnmary tasks will be coordination, commumcation, and informatIon. The energy manager should be responsible for knOWIng about, reviewing and consolIdating the findIngs and recommendatIons of the numerous studIes and reports prepared by consultants and InstItutes for the USAID, World Bank, EBRD, Ee, MInIstnes, etc., so as to mimmIze duplIcatIOn of work and maxImIze exchange of information and expertise. In addItIOn, the energy manager should coordInate and momtor the progress and success of conservatIon measures Implemented by the power plant staff and employees.
