SME window producer saves costs with renewable energy

CONS ECO PLAST SRL is a small company with 10 employees in Falesti town, northern Moldova. The company has manufactured plastic and wooden doors and windows since 2011. The products meet high energy efficiency standards; therefore, the company was listed in the Technology Selector – the online list of pre-approved high performance technologies – under another credit line facility from the EBRD, dedicated to energy efficiency investments in the residential sector of Moldova.

The company applied to MoSEFF for financing of two woodchip-fired boilers for heating of its production buildings and for hot-water production in the administrative buildings. The new boilers will replace the existing outdated coal-fired heaters.

The MoSEFF engineering team assisted the company with verification of the technology, its technical and economic parameters and profitability.

Given the availability of wood chips as a by-product of the manufacturing process, the company will significantly reduce its energy bill by utilising the waste for energy production.

The €6,650 investment led to the complete elimination of fossil fuels for heating and will repay itself in just 2 years from the energy savings only.

Thanks to the project, the company decreased its energy bill, became energy independent and self-sufficient, solved the issue of waste utilisation and improved the working conditions for its employees.
