Abstract:
The importance of energy for the creation of wealth and enhancing the global socio-economic growth cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, the recent incessant increase in the energy cost has necessitated the need to research into the efficient management and utilization of the available energy. In view of this, this study investigates the energy efficiency and management of a food processing in a multi-national dairy company, Fan Milk Plc, located in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study utilizes the energy intensity of production, energy cost of production and cost benefit analysis methodology to ascertain the efficiency of energy use. An audit and analysis were made for energy consumption in the company for a period of five years between 2011 to 2015 and this revealed energy efficiency gap as a result of poorly implemented energy management measures. The study revealed that energy is not efficiently used despite the company’s reliance on self-generated power and the substantial increase in energy consumption in the third quarter of the year, between June and September for all the five years investigated, does not commensurate with the production increase. The research deduced that the unit cost of energy for production ranges from N9.58 to N10.27 with an energy intensity of 0.66MJltr-1 and 0.7 MJltr-1 respectively. Finally, the research recommends a thorough energy audit in the third quarter of each year which revealed considerably high energy intensity without commensurate increase in production.
