“The savings and consumption responsible and efficient are other sources of energy and in that sense are reviewing various regulations,” said the undersecretary in charge of the area, Andrea Heins.
“When we pay for the energy that it effectively generate and put it at the point of consumption he assured efficiency projects begin to close by themselves. “
the undersecretary Savings and Energy efficiency spoke today during a forum organized by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce German Argentino .
Heins stressed the ranking prepared by the present government, because until last year the issue of efficiency was in a unit that depended on an address of a Secretariat, “ie on the fifth level with respect area minister and is now on the second level. “
on the regulatory review said the decree 140 of 2007″ is a very good base, but not enough “, by which experiences are analyzed European and regional countries like Chile, Uruguay and Mexico.
“While the obligation is not the only way, it is necessary to include a regulation, and therefore analyzed for each measure what kind of regulation add” he said.
in the Undersecretariat understand that advocacy and adoption of responsible and efficient use of energy not only cover the electricity sector, but also natural gas and liquid fuels in all its uses, as heating, hot water, transportation and technical requirements of the industry.
“We come from many years where energy as a resource not valued by the subject rates because there was availability and because the deficit was covered with imports and was satisfied demand, “he defined.
In this regard, Heins said, “we have culturally a habit of saving and energy efficiency”, thus being strengthened programs for all sectors, including residential.
In the latter case guides responsible use are developed, elaborated together with the Argentine Committee of the World Energy Council.
In the manufacturing sector, and plans oriented SMEs with soft loans from the Energy Efficiency Fund covering 90% of diagnosis (with loans of up to 84 months and 9% annual rates in pesos), a pilot project with nine large companies are also facing to implement ISO 50001.
Heins explained then that among the new programs included the transport “which until now had never been addressed” sector and that working with Iram in the labeling standard light vehicles.
with regard to buildings, legislation which includes the construction characteristics and equipment is sought, to determine an index of energy performance.
“we formed a working group with the province of Santa Fe, who has experience in the field, and other agencies, and what is sought is to set a reference pattern, since we have no power to generate obligation, which depends on each municipal code “.
Finally, in lighting, “we are updating the rules because the current program dates back to 2008 and looked at only 15% of lighting Led, which was then a new and expensive technology, but today we must be more ambitious “he said Heins.
