Feedback
from local industrial firms indicate that most of the industrial
equipment that are locally manufactured are of poor quality,
when it comes to energy efficiency. But these equipment find
their way into the market because of the relatively high price
of imported equipment. Unfortunately, in order to save on
operating costs, industrial firms are burdened with equipment
breakdowns and high energy bills because of the inefficiencies.

|
This
component aims to identify the potential improvements
and new designs for locally manufactured industrial
equipment. While the demand for energy efficient equipment
is being addressed by the other components, this component
will ensure that local manufacturers are motivated to
improve their designs and manufacturing techniques.
|
The programme has achieved this by:
|
|
Training
local equipment manufacturers on high efficiency designs
and production technologies |
|
|
|
|
|
Providing
technical assistance to local equipment manufacturers
|
|
|
|
|
|
Providing
funds to projects for design and manufacturing improvement
of selected local industrial equipment manufacturers |
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluating
the results and impacts of the funded equipment design
and manufacturing improvement projects. |

What
equipment?
An
equipment market survey that was conducted identified five
sets of equipment crucial in the efforts to improve industrial
energy efficiency, and that are locally manufactured. The following 3 equipment have been selected for design and manufacturing improvement under the MIEEIP.
 Pumps
Fan & Blower
Motor
Rewinder
