Abstract

This paper examines energy management practice in Danish manufacturing industry. The paper addresses the following: To what extent is energy management put into practice in Danish industry? From which sources does Danish industry get its information about energy management? Using our definition of the minimum requirements for energy management, we conclude that only 3 to 14 percent practise energy management. Inspiration to manage energy comes from many different sources, but the electricity utilities emerge as the main source of inspiration. This leads to a presentation of a statistical model synthesising two potential trails leading to energy management. One size fits all is not appropriate when giving incentives for firms to practise energy management.
