Master Energy Management Plan

Energy master planning could very well be the difference between success or failure of any company in the future. Experts suggest that the peak of oil production could occur between 2012 and 2018. Energy supplies will also be impacted by the higher energy demands made by emerging economies such as China and India.

Seeing the potential trends, successful companies have to start planning the course for their energy future. Currently, CA is working with local vendors to determine the logical paths to the future. Planning for the construction of solar fields or combinations of solar and wind generated stations are well underway.

The video in this post provides a brief description of how CA is preparing for our energy future.
The future could hold new ways of maintaining or using vacant, little used open space lands. Ideas such as reforestation of lands, using the lands for solar or other forms of energy generation, and planting community gardens could replace current maintenance methods such as mowing or using other fossil fuel based machines.

CA staff will also implement a chain of energy managers throughout the organization who will monitor energy uses and will implement new programs to make all CA team members more energy conscious.

CA has already convened an Innovations Team made up of team members from throughout the organization who will be looking at new ways for CA to prepare for the future. Other teams will be assembled and asked to help plan better ways for CA to do business in the future.



Primary Focus Points:
  • Develop new maintenance processes
  • Work with vendors to ensure supply chain credibility
  • Ensure that team members understand the logic of being more energy conscious
  • Continue to develop innovations team concepts for meeting the new energy world
  • Develop the mentality of an energy company to think in terms of energy development, energy conservation, energy education and team member energy
