I have been told that the 1st certificate was issued to an Indian Power Plant in Dahanu, which is called Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. The certificate was issue by Bureau Veritas

Many thank's for the answer, are there some others in Europe?

Certainly. For the moment, close to 5,000 sites (from ~1500 organisations) are ISO 50001 certified. You can see an overview of them on the link below. Almost 50% of these organisations are in Germany.

The above list gives an overview of organisations that adopt ISO 50001 and go through certification. There must be many more organisations using ISO 50001 but not planning to certify, or not yet certified. I'd be very interested in an indication of wider ISo 50001 adoptions.

ISO publishes an annual survey giving an overview of the adoption of its various management standards, including the new ISO 50001. The latest (2012) edition is available from their website:

Many thanks for the detailed and useful answer!!

Dear Sir,

Mr. Hans De Keulenaer  gave you a lot of informations where you can find details for your research. If this information could helped you, in november 2013 the Airasca plant, headquarters and main production center for SKF in Italy, obtained the ISO 50001 certification (White certificates) which qualifies the site as a high energy efficiency factory .

In following links you can find more informations about experiance with implementation.

According to ELECTREX , SKF announced Real and measurable results, which demonstrates how energy efficiency can be transformed in operational efficiency.

THE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATES (EEC)

In recent months, SKF has collected all the data measured by the monitoring system required to achieve the Energy Efficiency Certificates and presented the practices of the different projects to GSE (the local Energy Services Authority).

Revenues from the sale of energy efficiency certificates will be used by the company to finance new energy efficiency projects, therefore, creating a virtuous circle.

EXAMPLE OF AN ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT (AIRASCA PLANT)

Compressors replacement

The Airasca plant planned to optimize the compressor room by replacing two existing compressors of 400 kW with two new ones rated of 600 kW.  The activity of the system has not been modified either in terms of scope or pressure, but the new compressors - combined with the automatic control of the set of working parameters - allowed to achieve significant energy savings, as described here below.

Real and measurable results, which demonstrates how energy efficiency can be transformed in operational efficiency:

CURRENT EFFICIENCY: 8,6 Nmc/kWh

FUTURE EFFICIENCY : 9,6  Nmc/kWh

ANNUAL PRODUCTION : 120.000.000 Nmc/h

CURRENT CONSUMPTION : 13.953.488 kWh

FUTURE CONSUMPTION : 12.500.000 kWh

kWh PAYBACK : 1,6 YEARS

If you like, you can contact them for more details and practical information for your project.

Best regards, 

Dragan Vuksanović
