Abstract
Developing economies like Ethiopia are mostly unaware of the actual savings potential of energy conservation and are additionally restricted due to the application of outdated technology in their industrial production. This is partly because the industries in Ethiopia haven’t been checked for proper energy use and conservation. Therefore, it is the intention of this paper to provide and apply tools on the procedure and methods involved to firstly assess possible deficiencies suspected of irrational consumption of energy bill by carrying out Energy Audit on the case study plant – Batu Tannery. Also energy conservation measures are recommended and the savings resulting from applying the same is analyzed. Though higher saving is possible through the introduction of modern technology, this study focuses on housekeeping and low investment measures that will gain fast results and will motivate the management for more in – depth energy conservation measures. This approach is found suitable for developing countries like ours who suffer from lack of funds for higher investment in energy conservation programs and the use of renewable energy sources.
