providing a platform for
two EI Awards entrants (one
winner, one recommended
entry) to discuss their field
of activity and present
enlightening case studies.
The Yearbook opens with a
reflection by our President,
Ian Marchant FEI, on the
historic role of professional
bodies in society and how
the EI plans to follow in the
footsteps of its predecessors
- bringing knowledge and
a platform for debate to
support professionals as
they face the challenges of
the 21st century. These are
usefully put in perspective
with a set of statistics
illustrating the dramatic
changes that have taken
place in the past century
in the energy industry
and the growing
contribution
that this
Welcome to the 2014
Energy Institute (EI)
Yearbook and Directory,
offered free every year to all
our members as a thank you
for their support and loyalty.
This year’s publication looks
very different from last
year to reflect a change of
publisher as well as a brand
refresh for the EI. We hope
you like the new style.
You will also notice that
there is a centenary logo
on the cover and on this
page, to illustrate the fact
that 2014 marks the 100th
anniversary the EI’s oldest
founding organisation, the
Institution of Petroleum
Technologists, and the
appointment of its first
president, Sir Boverton
Redwood. At the IPT’s
inaugural meeting in
March 1914, Sir Boverton
declared that the aim
of the institution was to
“determine the hallmark of
proficiency in connection
with our profession”.
A century later, the EI
continues to carry the flag
for professionalism in the
energy industry, supporting
its people and companies
to achieve excellence in
their field for the benefit of
society.
All of our activities this year
will celebrate this milestone
and that includes the 2014
EI Yearbook and Directory.
As longer serving members
will know, this publication
combines insights into
current energy issues by
industry leaders with a
wealth of information on EI
products and services and
contacts within the energy
industry to support your
business and professional
development.
This year, however, please
allow us to blow our own
trumpet a little louder
by focusing some of
the editorial section on
important developments
in the EI’s work, which
we believe will have a
significant impact on
the sector. We are also
bringing a more
historical flavour to

sector makes to
economic growth
and well-being.
Raising the standards
of professionalism in the
sector, bringing solar
energy to remote parts
of Africa, learning from
the US to develop shale
gas exploration in Europe,
developing health and
safety in the offshore wind
industry and applying
energy efficiency in
commercial outlets are the
other themes in this year’s
publication, and I would
like to thank all our
contributors for sharing
their experience and
expertise in these pages.
All of these articles highlight
our ongoing commitment
to developing and
disseminating knowledge,
skills and good practice for
the benefit of society, as
well as our gratefulness to
you, our members, who
make it all possible.
I hope you enjoy reading
this special edition of
the EI Yearbook and
Directory and hope to
see you and hear from
you as we celebrate 100
years of professionalism
throughout 2014. ●

competence of
the individual
members
through training
and education
or it can be on
the development
of best practice
for a whole sector. A
good example of the
latter is the partnership
established between the EI
and the G9 offshore wind
association, working on
the development of health
and safety standards for
this new energy sector
(see page 18). The role of
the EI is to coordinate this
collaborative work for the
benefit of both individual
operators and society.
This example also illustrates
another key role for the
EI. The production of
energy in all its forms
often involves new and
untried technologies
or the deployment of
people in high-risk
situations. This requires the
continued development
of new standards and
establishment of best
Energy has always
been a key driver of
economic development
and that is still true today.
Our continued progress
requires safe, affordable,
reliable and sustainable
sources of energy. Whilst
we tend to think of energy
as a natural resource,
it requires considerable
human ingenuity to find,
extract, distribute and
deploy energy in all its forms
and applications. It is that
human ingenuity that the
Energy Institute (EI) both
celebrates and develops.
The EI can trace it origins
back to 5 March 2014 when
one of our predecessor
organisations, the Institution
of Petroleum Technologists,
was formed to promote the
“proficiency in connection
with our profession”.
During our century, the
organisation has changed
and evolved and expanded
its remit to cover the whole
of the energy industry. But
throughout that period the
development of ‘human
capital’ has had a central
place in everything we have
done. We need to celebrate,
not only because the EI
is 100 years old, but also
because the energy sector’s
history is full of heroes, both
well known ones such as
James Watt, Thomas Edison
and William Armstrong (my
favourite given his role in
promoting hydro power) as
well as unsung heroes.
People and safety
Every day a whole range of
people do amazing things
in our industry, ranging
from fitters on a North Sea
oil rig and linesmen out
in all weathers keeping
the lights on, to engineers
solving today’s problems
and scientists working on
tomorrow’s. Organisations
such as the EI have a key
role in helping, encouraging
and recognising these
energy heroes.
Much of the focus of any
professional body is, rightly,
on the development of the
people in its industry. That
development can be on
the skills, knowledge and
The Energy Institute:
100 years of
professionalism
practice. Organisations
such as the EI have a key
and multifaceted role in
this crucial area. Firstly, it
acts as a convening body to
bring together all sides such
as developers, technology
suppliers and regulators
to discuss and agree what
standards are needed
and how they should be
developed. Secondly, it
then can participate in
both the construction and
testing of those standards
to finally provide assurance
of continued compliance
against those standards.
Safety and asset integrity
are rightly given the highest
priority by the energy
industry and the EI does
exactly the same.
Platform for debate
Professional bodies
also play a key part
in encouraging
debate about the
challenges facing
industries and
society. Those
debates in the
energy industry are
as fierce, relevant
and difficult as
they have ever
been. Barely a week
goes by without
some aspect of energy
making headlines as
politicians, regulators and
the business community
grapple with four objectives
that frequently pull in
different directions.
Energy has to be affordable
for both businesses and
families. Then we need
a reliable supply and the
production process has
to also be increasingly
sustainable. The energy
industry has to continue
to offer good, local term
jobs. These four factors
frequently conflict, decisions
designed to achieve one can
cause adverse consequences
on the others and many
voices shout loudly in one
particular direction.
The EI plays a similarly
multifaceted role here. We
can act as a convening
authority to stimulate
an open and informed
debate about trade
offs and conflicts. We
can also be a source of
unbiased knowledge on
the industry and finally
we can help develop a
better understanding of
the energy industry as a
single integrated system.
If interconnectedness is a
proper word it certainly
applies to energy. As the
debates around energy
continue, the EI has to
maintain its independence
and reputation for
professionalism whilst
ensuring that those
debates are informed and
constructive.
If our predecessors who
gathered 100 years ago
were around now they
would be amazed at the
technological progress the
energy industry has made,
they would be impressed
at the way energy has
transformed so many
aspects of our lives and
they would be pleased
with the improvements in
safety standards. However,
I hope they would be
delighted with the fact
that their creation, which
would become the Energy
Institute, has stayed at the
heart of the development
and promotion of skills,
standards and good
practice.
I hope the same can be said
in another 100 years. ●

Skills for the 21st
century– raising
standards through
professionalism
As the EI celebrates the
centenary of its origins in
2014, there is perhaps no
better time to look back at
the skills development of
the past 100 years to see
how that will fit us for the
future. Many of the core
skills that human progress
has depended on, such
as engineering, continue
to this day. With modern
technology moving faster
all the time, engineering is
a discipline upon which we
will continue to rely heavily.
For all the automation that
has been brought to our
lives and workplaces since
the 1910s, there will still
be a need for highly skilled,
sentient workers at all levels
in the 21st century.
Engineering is an area
of need that is difficult
to satisfy as a younger
generation of workers
see more attraction in
acquiring softer skills.
‘Communication’ is seen as
the key to most business
growth in the technological
revolution as opposed to
‘infrastructure’ which was
required for the industrial
revolution.
In energy, however, the
key challenges of this
critical century will be as
much about our technical
management of scarce
resources as it is about
implementing behavioural
changes around the use of
those resources. Workers
in all aspects of energy
will continue to require
technical, communication
and management skills
as well as the experience
and judgement to exercise
those skills effectively. These
are the competencies that
are sought in an energy
professional at every level
and that the EI appraises in
those who seek admission
to the profession.
The EI is by no means the
only body that has been
assessing such individuals
for the last 100 years
but it is testament to
the effectiveness of our
Chartered body that it is still
doing so in a world where
educational standards can
change as regularly as the
government.
Safeguarding
professional standards
It is worth remembering
why Chartered bodies exist
– primarily to provide a
safeguard of the standards
of practice for a profession
and guard against those
without the requisite skill
and knowledge from
claiming similar competence
without attaining the same
standards. The internal
disciplinary capabilities of
the Chartered body ensure
the maintenance of high
standards and protect
against the ‘rogue trader’.
The EI does more than
maintain its own standards.
It is also safeguarding
standards for its three
licensing bodies – the
Engineering Council, the
Science Council and the
Society for the Environment.
The end result is a highly
qualified, experienced and
generally loyal workforce
that serves the energy
industry well – both in the
UK and overseas. There
is no time to rest on our
laurels however.
Future challenges
Sustainability has become
the watchword of our age
and in all areas of energy
exploration, transformation
and use, sustainability can
always be improved. One
of the biggest areas of
growth since the 1970s
has been in our more
efficient use of energy.
Our members who work in
energy demand are skilled
at using their engineering
and environmental skills to
reduce demand and save
costs. This is a need that is
unlikely to go away, at least
for the next 30-40 years.
As we move to a low
carbon future, much of our
existing infrastructure must
be replaced and methods
of working evolve. This
means growth in sectors
like renewables and nuclear
as well as extracting fossil
fuels in more sustainable
ways from more inaccessible
sources. The skills needs
here are as much at the
sharp end of construction,
measurement and
maintenance as they are in
design and development.
Engineering skills at all levels
will be required for many
years to come.
Priorities for the next
20 years
Since it would be foolhardy
to make predictions for
the next 100 years, let us
consider some priorities
where we see the greatest
need in 2014:
●● More skilled workers
Energy is an industry
critical to the future
of the planet and the
human race so it should
be attractive to young
people with talent, skills
and in particular a keen
interest in technical
solutions. We are
committed to developing
our youngest members,
influencing those who
influence career choices
and supporting good
educational options such
as Apprenticeships and
engineering programmes.
Women are particularly
under-represented in
the energy industry and
those taking the step to
professional status are
even fewer. Diversity is
essential to achieve the
right level of talent.
●● Good practice and
professionalism in
energy efficiency
Having set the standard
for professionals in energy
management (Chartered
Energy Manager), we
are also committed to
providing the tools for
energy managers to do
their jobs, training the
next generation and
enabling their career
success.
●● High standards at all
levels We aim to set the
highest standards for
professionals working
in the energy industry.
The growing use of the

very best brains. We have
some very good stories to
tell about the history and
value of the energy sector
as well as some real life
examples of the challenges
that our skilled professionals
have overcome. Previous
EI membership surveys
regularly point to the often
exciting and fulfilling nature
of working in our industry
and our job is to make sure
future generations know
what good career prospects
it offers. ●
Register of Professional
Energy Consultants
(see page 68) to obtain
a quality and, most
importantly, cost-effective
Energy Audit under EU
regulations illustrates a
crucial need for higher
standards of practice.
Similarly, companies
are recognising the
business benefit of
employing qualified
Engineering Technicians
(EngTech). No longer
are initial training and
qualifications sufficient;
now their experience and
commitment to ongoing
professional development
are viewed as the main
indicators of value to the
business. Serving this need
from energy employers
and employees is one of
our highest priorities.
By the time the EI celebrates
its 150th anniversary, the
world of energy is likely to
be very different from the
one we have today. For that
reason, this industry needs
to attract and retain the
Our future – and yours
Ultimately the strength of a profession is in
the number and status of the professionals
that it contains. Although the EI remains
a medium sized body, its numbers are
growing and our reputation is strong. In
2013, we calculated that almost 10% of
our membership were engaged with us in a
volunteering capacity and we hope that your
commitment to us is as strong as ours is to
serving your career needs.
In harnessing those volunteers we are able to
have active committees that achieve much to
help the industry and its people, to develop
and assess the professionals of the future
and to spread our influence worldwide.
We can do that even better with a larger
membership base and a larger proportion of
professionally-recognised members. But we
need your help – either by upgrading your
own membership or by identifying those
future energy professionals who we don’t
yet know.
How you can help:
●● Could you be your company’s
‘EI Champion’?
●● Can we visit your company to explain
how we can assist with your capacity
building plans?
●● Could your career path become a role
model for others?
●● Do you travel to parts of the world where
your knowledge would be of interest to
others?
Our volunteers commit as much or as little
of their time as they can afford but it is all of
value to someone else. In my experience all
EI members have something of value to offer
to the next generation. We are here to help
if you want to give something back to the
profession.
Our website and this yearbook both include
details of what we can offer. The team is
more than happy to advise if you are unsure
of your next step.

Bringing energy
to the people
By Chris Baker-Brian
Co-founder & Chief
Technology Officer
BBOXX
Winners – EI Energy
Excellent Award 2013
Currently, there are
1.4 billion people in the
world without reliable access
to electricity. The majority
of these people are living in
developing countries, with
more than 600 million in
Africa. More than 80%of
Africa’s population lives in
off-grid, rural settings – and
most of those that do enjoy
electricity are subject to
several hours of power cuts
every day.
The lack of reliable power
supply is having a
detrimental impact on
Africa’s economic
development; businesses are
forced to restrict operation
to daylight hours and
connectivity via the internet
or mobile phones remains a
challenge for most.
Furthermore, kerosene,
which is used as an energy
source by 2.6 billion people
in developing countries, has
a proven detrimental effect
on the health of those in the
vicinity. Asthma and
tuberculosis are just a few of
the conditions linked to the
inhalation of its fumes.
Reports suggest that there
are between 6,000 and
12,000 kerosene-related
deaths per year in Kenya
alone.
Last year, the United Nations
launched the Decade of
Sustainable Energy for All,
which called on all of its
member states to make
access to clean, reliable
energy a priority. Being
largely off-grid, Africa has
the opportunity to build
clean energy infrastructure
from the offset, making a
profound impact on the
overall sustainability of
the entire planet’s power
supplies.
Sustainable alternatives to
kerosene are now being
sought by businesses from
around the world, including
solar energy. Reliable, clean
and cheaper, solar energy
has the potential to reach
the entire marketplace
and although competition
exists from other energy
sources, across Africa it is
solar energy that has shown
initial popularity among
consumers. A 2013 report
by the International Finance
Corporation and the World
Bank estimated that there
will be 28 million solar
lanterns in use across Africa
by 2015 – more than double
that of 2010.
However, although solar
products are evidently
popular, this is far from
a fait accompli; there are
several barriers that stand
between solar energy and
mass adoption. BBOXX is a
UK-based enterprise that has
been creating solar-powered
battery packs for businesses
and individuals since 2010.
I started the company with
two fellow graduates after
we finished our Electronics
and Electrical Engineering
degrees at Imperial College.
The business stemmed from
a charity – e.quinox – which
we started during our degree
courses. Although we’ve sold
more than 40,000 units to
date across Africa and Asia;
we now must overcome the
remaining barriers in order to
make solar energy accessible
to all.
One of the biggest
challenges for the solar
industry is the initial expense
involved. Our most popular
products cost between
US $340 and US $530.
Take Uganda – where
the average wage is US
$100 per month – and
this becomes a sizeable
investment. On the other
hand, kerosene – despite
being more expensive in the
long-term – is purchasable
in daily units, making it a lot
more accessible. Once the
upfront cost barrier has been
overcome, however, solar
energy returns dividends;
when the direct and indirect
expenses of alternative
energy are taken into
account; Ugandan families
can expect to save on
average US$16 per month
after the purchase of a
solar kit – over 15% of an
average monthly wage. A
solution to this problem is to
offer finance to customers,
enabling them to spread the
cost of a unit.
Getting products to rural
customers also remains
a problem. Many of the
areas where electricity is
required are in hard-to-reach
remote villages. The lack
of infrastructure in many
African countries – many
don’t have banks, developed
roads or supermarkets –
means that importing and
selling solar products has
to be done in an alternative
way. To bring solar power
to the wider nation, BBOXX
developed a network of
local distributors to act as
independent businesses,
importing and distributing
BBOXX products in their
own countries. Through this
franchising model, we have
been able to operate in 14
markets, including Uganda,
Kenya, Sudan, Senegal and
Somalia. It is also a model
that allows for continued
growth, and penetration of
some of the world’s most
challenging markets.
Another challenge is
educating the potential
customer base on the
benefits of solar energy.
Often customers wanting
to invest in a solar energy
product are unaware of the
impact it can have on their
daily life. For us, it’s about
giving people more than
just a product – it’s about
providing an improved
lifestyle. Franchisees must
be equipped with the
necessary tools to enable
them to develop their
local network, including
training on installation and
maintenance, sales and
marketing.
This year, we received
funding from Silicon
Valley-based venture capital
firm, Khosla Impact, to
help us transform from
a product provider to a
service provider. These
funds will help us launch
two new initiatives across
our markets. First, we’ll
be launching remote
monitoring technology,
which will enable us to
communicate directly with
each customer in real time,
and give us the ability to
control each household’s
solar energy supply. We’re
also going to be offering
finance to consumers
directly – even to those with
little or no credit history.
This will help them afford
their first kits, enabling
them to pay us back over a
manageable period of time.
These two initiatives will
help us overcome the cost
barrier and potentially make
solar energy available to the
entire marketplace. ●

shale gas reserves has
been encouraged by an
investment to kick-start
the process, supportive
regulation, political
incentives, and a flexible
and available workforce –
creating ideal conditions for
rapid implementation.
In 2012, the US shale gas
industry accounted for
$238 billion in economic
activity with more than 1.7
million jobs attributable to
the industry. The increased
supply of gas has had a
massive impact on the
US gas prices, dropping
from $7/MMBtu in 2007
to $3/MMBtu by 2012.
This fall has had far-
reaching consequences
not only on US household
bills, but on the overall
competitiveness of the US
energy industry. Moreover,
shale gas developments
are projected to continue,
with production expected
to increase by 5.3% on
annual basis through 2030,
generating lasting benefits.
There has been growing
interest in applying the US
experience to Europe, with
many European countries
eager to realise even a small
portion of the American
success. Even though shale
oil and gas potential in
Europe is significant, there
are number of constraints
to the US experience
being directly applicable
to Europe, mainly due
to different geological,
technical, regulatory and
market features, as well
as vocal and active anti-
fracking lobbies.
Applicability of key
success factors from
US to Europe
One of the key facts to
consider in the experience
benchmark of two
continents is the overall
up-to-date duration of the
American Shale Gas Boom.
The shale evolution was
protracted to over 20 years,
with production accounting
to 8% in 2007, 30% in
2011, and projected to grow
by 113% between 2011 and
2040.
A suitable geology has
been, with no doubt, the
most influential factor for
early shale gas development
in the US. The suitable
geology has allowed for
the construction of more
than 65,000 economically
and technically viable wells,
but critics do not see the
European geological features
to allow similar scenario
in Europe. In Europe,
characteristics such as depth,
underground temperature,
porosity and clay content
vary across basins and
formations, and over
shorter distances, requiring
compound technology
deployment. As a result,
more extensive geological
assessment is needed in
Europe and government
funding in research is
therefore essential for
further progress.
In recent years, technological
advances have enabled the
application of more complex
drilling processes, with the
consequent improvement in
the utilisation of horizontal
wells from 10 to 80% and
number of fracturing stages
rising from 1 to 20.
The approach of US
regulators, supporting
private ownership and
governmental incentives,
has been another feature
assisting the rapid
development of shale gas
exploitation in the US, with
economic incentives and the
population’s general support
of oil and gas projects
driving the willingness of
local communities to be
part of the shale boom. In
Europe, subsurface rights
vary from country to country
and communities are less
convinced so far of the
benefits shale gas could
bring to them. Currently,
with no apparent benefits
easily understood and
mainly negative public
perception, European shale
gas opportunities continue
to face public hostility,
irrespective of beneficial
impact and thus requiring
much further education of
affected communities.
There are also infrastructure
limitations in Europe,
with limited access for
new producers to existing
pipelines and a shortage of
suitable onshore production
rigs. There are approximately
100 rigs in Europe, 50% of
which are located in Poland,
Romania, Germany and
Ukraine. However only a
small proportion of them is
suitable for shale gas drilling.
In the US, the cost of drilling
shale gas typically ranges
between $3 and $10 million
per well, depending on
physical properties of the
rigs. In Europe, costs are
expected to be three times
higher, due to current
uncompetitive conditions
of local oil and gas market.
Without proper access to
competitive market capable
to deliver drilling units,
oil and gas companies
can struggle to kick start
commercial-scale drilling
programs. More competitive
rig environment and
infrastructure improvement
in Europe are therefore
essential, for operators to
fully investigate the potential
of shale.
Although there are
noteworthy differences
between shale gas
exploitation in the US and
possibilities in Europe,
with the right focus on
European oil and gas
market improvement,
technology enhancement,
geological studies, and
regulatory incentives
for both developers and
local communities, the
enablers for Europe to take
advantage of shale gas could
be in place in a relatively
short term.
Focus on the EU
Europe is the world’s largest
net gas importer, continually
striving for energy security
and independence. Shale
gas represents an alluring
opportunity to achieve
these objectives. Even if
some European countries
This technological progress
is linked to subsequent
improvements in well
integrity, driving the
increase in the commercially
viable exploitation and
attending to two of the
major concerns of shale gas
development, namely the
risk of potential leakage
of chemicals into water
systems, and overall water
consumption. Technology
has been essential in
the progress to date,
not only for gradually
reducing required capital
but most importantly for
improvements in overall
safety and environmental
risk arising from the
hydraulic fracturing process.

www.energyinst.org
have had commercial and
technical concerns, the
shale gas potential is too
significant to ignore. More
and more countries are
becoming active in shale
gas production and interest
across Europe is rapidly
spreading despite the much-
discussed challenges.
The formerly uncertain
Netherlands has now taken
an active approach towards
shale gas exploration,
announcing a nationwide
research study on all possible
shale gas test drill locations
in the country. Romania has
also started to make first
strategic moves, with the
government allowing shale
gas exploration on the Black
Sea coast.
In the United Kingdom,
the government has been
keen to expand shale gas,
however, strong resistance
from environmental groups
has effectively halted new
exploration. Expectations
are that with increasing
public awareness of the
facts rather than the hype,
stronger safeguards in place
to protect the environment
and further regulatory
incentives for local
communities, first gas could
flow in the UK in 2016.
Eastern European
countries have been more
proactive in the shale gas
accomplishments. Ukraine,
dependent on Russian oil
and gas imports, is actively
seeking to develop shale
gas, prompted by the
announced estimates from
the International Energy
Agency (IEA) of more than
128tcf of shale resource
in place. With the promise
of energy independence in
mind, the nation is actively
developing its regulatory
system and licensing
procedures to attract
further investments from
potential operators.
Poland, on the other hand,
generates more than 90
percent of its electricity
from coal or lignite-fired
power plants, with over
95% of oil and 66% of
natural gas being imported
for transportation fuel and
heating. This high import
dependency is an important
factor in Poland’s energy
security and diversification
plans, especially as the
country is under pressure
from the European Union
to meet tighter carbon
emission targets, adding
further impetus to fully
exploiting the existing shale
basins.
Poland has persisted, and
even after a challenging
process to establish
appropriate legislation and
with three international
companies announcing
plans to abandon shale
exploration due to
disappointing drilling
results, production started
successfully in late July this
year and reached more than
8,000 cubic meters per
day, the highest shale gas
production in Europe.
Most recently, the Baltic
tiger Estonia has made
the even more astonishing
announcement of being
the world’s first country to
meet all its power needs
from shale, with surplus
for neighbouring countries.
Shale oil exploration has
been active in Estonia for
a century, and has now
delivered the cheapest
energy option to meet
national energy objectives
and independence.
In summary, it is clear that
shale gas will continue
to gather momentum in
Europe and new projects
will materialise in many
countries. To successfully
achieve the potential will
require Europe to learn
from experience in the
US, specifically applied
to the European context.
Sufficient resources,
supportive regulatory and
commercial environments,
full understanding of
specific geologies and, of
course, stakeholder support
will be required, and these
will not be straightforward.
However, the need for
supply diversification, and
much of the will, is already
there so shale gas could be
contributing significantly
to Europe’s energy picture
much sooner than many
realise. ●

Supporting
offshore wind
By Martin Maeso CEnv MEI
Knowledge and Technical
Director
Energy Institute
Alongside a long-
standing technical
programme covering the oil
and gas industry (see page
54), the EI is now moving
to support the renewables
sector. It has entered a
partnership with the G9
Offshore Wind Health and
Safety Association to deliver
a technical work programme
looking at health and safety
issues for offshore wind.
The G9 brings together
nine of the world’s
largest renewable energy
developers to form a group
that places health and
safety at the forefront of
all offshore wind activity
and developments. The
group aims to create
and deliver world-class
safety performance across
all of its activities from
construction through
to decommissioning. By
working closely together, G9
members have committed
resources from their own
companies, and work to
lead this sector of the
industry in finding solutions
to the health and safety
challenges that offshore
wind industry faces.
The aims and objectives of
the G9 mirror those of the
EI and as such there was
a strong case for working
in partnership. Much
of the guidance already
developed by the EI, with
roots in other sectors, is
also highly relevant to G9
members. The partnership
provides an opportunity
to ensure knowledge is
efficiently transferred from
one industry sector to
another. In addition, the EI
is able to assist the G9 in
delivering against its specific
objectives of providing
leadership in the offshore
wind community, and in
particular in delivering good
practice guidance aimed
at improving performance
across developers and the
supply chain.
A partnership is born
At the beginning of
2013, the EI and the G9
began working together
in partnership to develop
good practice that will help
the offshore wind industry
deliver world class health
and safety performance
across all of its activities.
The experience and
leadership of G9 members,
as major operators, and
the independence and
experience of the EI, will
be combined during the
development of this good
practice for the benefit of
wider society.
The new partnership brings
together the relevant
stakeholders to ensure
a common approach to
understanding health and
safety issues and good
practice. With the EI acting
as an honest broker,
this means it is possible
to engage with a broad
membership and other
interested parties and
stakeholders to provide
the most comprehensive
guidance to support this
growing sector of the
energy industry.
Areas of initial focus for the
G9 have been informed by
experience on the ground,
and through the collection
and analysis of health
and safety data incident
collated collaboratively
through a Focal Group.
This has ensured that the
programme of work is
evidence-based and focuses
attention on issues of key
importance.
Working areas
Initially there are three
topics that have been
identified as priorities for the
development of guidance.
These are: working at
height; marine operations;
and lifting operations.
With support from
the EI, the G9
members have
established three
working groups to
address the topics.
Member resource
for the working
groups has been
provided by the
G9, each bringing
appropriately
experienced and
skilled topic experts in
each field.
Each working group
reports into the G9 Focal
Group which has devolved
responsibility from the G9
Board for addressing the
key health and safety issues
and delivering on the G9’s
objectives. It is important
to note that the activity is
pan-European in focus, and
as such the composition of
the working groups is made
up from personnel across
Europe, including members
with operational experience
in Germany, Norway and
Denmark, as well as a
number from the UK.
Working at height
As the offshore wind
industry grows and expands
there will be a growing
number of personnel
accessing offshore wind
infrastructure, resulting in
an increase in the number
of operations which require
working at height. The
G9/EI Working at Height
Working Group (WAHWG),
working under the direction
of the G9 Focal Group,
has been established to
steer the development of
technical and operational
guidance to mitigate the
risk of working at height.
The intent is to publish
guidelines on working at
height in the offshore wind

www.energyinst.org
www.energyinst.org
21
industry, providing a high-
level overview of current
operations with reference
(where appropriate)
to existing relevant EI
operational guidance and
other established guidance
which has been developed
for the offshore oil and
gas sector.
Marine operations
In order to demonstrate the
use of good operational
practices as the offshore
wind sector grows, it has
been proposed that the
G9/EI Marine Operations
Working Group (MOWG),
working under the direction
of the G9 Focal Group, is
tasked with developing
guidelines and requirements
for the management of
service vessels used in the
offshore wind industry.
Again, these guidelines
will draw upon those used
in the offshore oil and gas
sector; however, they will
take account of and reflect
the unique aspects of
working on offshore wind
projects.
Lifting operations
Both heavy lifting and
more routine smaller lifts
are an intrinsic part of
offshore construction. The
G9/EI Lifting Operations
Working Group (LOWG)
has identified a need for
guidance on this issue
specific to offshore wind
industry operations. The
aim is to ensure a consistent
approach to carrying out
lifting operations in the
sector, and also addressing
the management of the
interfaces between
the developer,
principal contractor,
installation
contractor, original
equipment
manufacturer and
other third party
contractors.
This project
will include a
review of current
lifting operations
carried out in
the offshore wind
industry, the drawing on
experiences and lessons
learned across the wider
offshore community, and
where appropriate, cross
referencing to existing EI
operational guidance which
has been developed for the
offshore oil and gas sector.
Public consultation began
in January 2014 with
final publication targetted
for end of March 2014.
Through its established
processes, the EI ensures
a wide review and
consultation is carried out,
involving stakeholders
across Europe, including
developers, manufacturers,
supply contractors and
regulators.
The good practice
developed will be made
available and published
through the EI, with
significant thought going
into the
method for dissemination,
whether this will be in
hard copies or in a digital
format. Where a gap is
identified there will also
be consideration given
to building and leading
on appropriate training
needs. Industry forums
and workshops may be
used as a dissemination
route for the good practice
developed.
In addition, the EI has
a process in place to
identify the need for future
guidance and technical
projects, drawing on the
established methodology
within the EI. Key to this
will be the continued
development of an
evidence base, and also
good communications links
with key stakeholders. It
is the intention that the
G9 and the EI, working
in partnership, take
a long-term role in
the development of
guidance for the
offshore wind industry.
Initially this will focus
on health and safety
issues, but longer term
will be determined
by the needs of the
G9 membership and
wider industry, and may
well cover other areas
too – in the same way as
the existing EI technical
programme.
Stakeholder
engagement
Key to the success of any
guidance developed will be
stakeholder engagement.
In developing guidance the
EI’s proven processes will
be put in place to ensure a
wide range of stakeholders
have the opportunity to
input and comment on the
guidance development, on a
pan-European level.
The G9 members are
particularly keen to ensure
all relevant stakeholders
have an opportunity to
be consulted during the
guidance development
process. A robust
communications plan is
also being put into practice,
with a specific G9 website
launched, a series of
articles and presentations
given at industry events,
and an active programme
of meetings with a wide
range of stakeholders. Both
the Crown Estate and the
Health & Safety Executive
are fully supportive and
engaged in this work, as
well as a number of industry
associations.
The consensus across the
offshore wind community
is that this is a very exciting
time, which is matched
by an exciting partnership
between the G9 and the
EI. There are a number
of challenges facing the
industry, but there is also
confidence that the G9 will
play a key role in meeting
and addressing those
challenges, and adding real
value to the industry. There
is also an opportunity to
learn from past experiences
in other sectors. The EI is
well placed to support the
G9 in both these aspects. ●

The Co-operative
Group energy
efficiency journey
Case study
In 2007 the world
appeared to be a very
different place from today.
The financial storms
that were to cause such
devastation had yet to
appear on the horizon.
Environmental issues were
at the forefront of many
people’s minds as it became
increasing apparent that
anthropological activities
were beginning to have
an impact on the planet’s
climate.
With its five million
members, the Co-operative
Group had always been
a leader in the fields of
ethical and environmental
stewardship. Against this
background its members
demanded even more
radical action. As a result
The Co-operative set
what we believe to be
the toughest operational
carbon reduction target
of any major business: by
2020, our emissions will
decrease by 50% on an
absolute basis. To achieve
this we have implemented
a targeted programme of
energy efficiency works and
changes in working practice
which have reduced the
energy consumption in our
Food business (almost 90%
total energy consumption)
by 41% since 2006 and
saved more than £20m each
year. The key to achieving
these results has been a very
simple model:
Capital investment and
colleague engagement have
to go hand-in-hand.
However, the actual size of
each segment can change
relative to the others
depending on what stage of
the energy efficiency journey
an organisation finds itself.
When the Co-operative’s
programme started, capital
was not immediately
available, much of the
new ‘green’ technologies
remained unproven and
the society lacked centrally
controlled and implemented
technical standards in some
areas. To raise the capital
required, to fully research
new technologies and to
introduce new standards
would take time and the
targets set meant time was
of the essence. It therefore
made sense to tackle ‘Good
Housekeeping’ energy
saving through changing
behaviour first. Before
this programme could be
launched it was essential
that smart meters were
installed into all the Group’s
food stores.
As Lord Kelvin once said;
‘If you cannot measure it,
you cannot improve it’
The process
Work has been underway
for a number of years to
introduce smart meters and
this was now given fresh
impetus. As the critical
mass required to launch
the engagement process
approached, thoughts
turned to how best to reach
the 80,000 employees that
would ultimately decide the
success or otherwise of the
project.
A dedicated team of
Regional Energy Managers
(REMs) were recruited
who were responsible for
engaging with each of our
2800 stores. Stores were
‘benchmarked’ against the
average energy use for their
size and then graded from
A1-G5 and finally each
was set a target to achieve.
Energy ‘Champions’ were
recruited in each store and
training was delivered by
the REMs initially face-to-
face and via newsletters
but increasingly by the use
of online training solutions.
By the end of 2013 nearly
50,000 store colleagues had
been trained this way. In-
store energy notice boards
provided regular newsletters,
progress against store
energy targets, updates
on energy saving repairs
and retrofits suggested by
staff, and a store energy
housekeeping guide. There
are also regional store
energy saving competitions;
with the winners receiving
vouchers for store parties.
Research has shown that
stores engaged with energy
saving have demonstrated
the following benefits:
●● better rates of reduction
against energy saving
targets,
●● higher return rates and
improved quality of
information received from
bi-annual store ‘health
checks’,
At the same time it was
recognised as essential that
the REMs remained fully
up-to-date with changes
in the energy world so it
was natural that the Co-
operative turned to the
Energy Institute for this.
Consequently 2013 saw
every REM successfully
pass the Advanced Energy
Manager exam set and also
become Chartered Energy
Managers.

programme which typically
sees around 400 stores
refurbished every year. In
addition, stores outside
of the programme receive
new equipment as existing
equipment reaches the end
of its life – these projects sit
under the ‘retro-fit’ banner.
Both work streams offered
an excellent opportunity to
ensure that the most energy
efficient equipment is
being used.
New and maturing
technologies that were
identified included:
●● LED lighting
●● High-efficiency gas
heating
●● Voltage optimisation
●● ‘Free-heat’ from fridge
systems
●● Air Curtains
●● Doors on fridges.
●● Building management
systems
●● Remote plant monitoring
A REM was appointed to
oversee each technology
work stream with a brief
to ensure that each
technology was rigorously
tested and trialled with
the results being closely
analysed. Learnings from
the trials were incorporated
within a comprehensive
suite of technical standard
documents which were
briefed out to all the
Group’s contractors. These
standards were written
and designed by a senior
technical manager with
many years’ experience
in the field of energy
management.
As a result of these
initiatives, every store that
the Co-operative refits must
meet a clearly specified
standard for energy
efficiency in such areas
as lighting, refrigeration
and building management
control. Stores that require
retrofit works must also
have a common standard of
energy efficient equipment
installed.
The results
Since 2006, our food
business has made the
following savings:
●● Electricity:
reduced 35%
464,808,031 kWh
249,946 tCO2e
●● Gas:
reduced 38%
11,220,105 kWh
20,599 tCO2e
●● Total greenhouse
gas emissions:
reduced 41%
504,339 tCO2e
The Group now has over
150 stores fitted with LED
lighting, nearly 2,500 stores
have building management
systems and doors on
fridges are now fitted as
standard. An ambitious
plan to introduce remote
monitoring of store M&E
functions has recently been
launched to allow us to face
the challenges of managing
energy supply and demand.
Our investment in R&D
continues to grow as we
work with key partners to
ensure that we remain at
the forefront of technical
innovation. Our staff
believe that they are
working to reduce our
environmental impact and
clear communications on
the benefits of completing
training has led to an
unprecedented 85%
completion rate for this type
of training.
The future
The future presents
many challenges and
opportunities. The financial
environment remains very
challenging and is sure to
remain so for some time
to come. This means that
energy efficiency projects
will continue to be kept
under close scrutiny so it is
essential that those projects
chosen deliver on their
promises. The good news is
that there is now a whole
raft of new technologies
across a wide range of areas
that are proven to deliver
excellent energy savings. As
these develop and become
cheaper so then the
financial returns increase.
Technology alone of course
cannot provide all the
answers. It is essential that
efforts to engage colleagues
are maintained and
developed. It is important
to stay abreast of the
latest scientific research
so that one is able to deal
knowledgeably with any
queries that arise. Added
to the complexity of the
debate about climate
change are the issues of
habitat destruction, energy
security and resource
depletion. Never has there
been a time when it has
been as important to stand
up and be counted as
advocates for a sustainable
business model than today.
This is why the Co-operative
Group remains committed
to putting environmental
responsibility at the heart
of all that it does. Energy
reduction through improved
efficiency is a key part
of this and the Group’s
continued and deepening
relationship with the EI can
only help to reinforce this
commitment. ●

Grades of membership
There are three pre-
professional grades of
membership offering
immediate access to the
benefits of EI membership
and the opportunity to
upgrade to professional
status at members’
own pace.
Those grades are:
Affiliate
The fastest way to become
a member, Affiliate
membership is available
for anyone involved or
interested in energy and no
qualification or experience
is required. You can join as
an Affiliate online.
Graduate (GradEI)
Open to anyone recently
graduated from an energy-
related programme or
other relevant qualification
and undergoing a period
of training in an energy-
related role. Graduate
members are likely to have
an Honours Degree, HND/
HNC Advanced, GNVQ,
NC/D, or an assessed
academic equivalent and
should ultimately progress
to a professional grade of
membership. Graduate
members can join online at
preferential rates if they are
on EI accredited courses or
if their university is an EI
Learning Affiliate member.
Student
Open to anyone following
an energy/engineering
academic or vocational
course of study. Student,
followed by Graduate
membership, can be
the first step towards
professional membership
and registration as
an engineer, scientist,
environmentalist or energy
manager. Students on
accredited EI courses
can join via the course
leader at their university.
Membership is free to
students at all EI member
departments (Learning
Afiliates).
Affiliate, GradEI and
Student members of the EI
can apply for an upgrade
of their membership to
reflect their advanced
knowledge and expertise
as their career in the
energy industry progresses
and their experience
increases.
How do I gain
professional
membership?
Professional grades
of EI membership
are subject to an
application and
assessment by which the
EI offers you a professional
grade that matches
your qualifications and
experience in the industry.
Energy professionals who
do not hold recognised
qualifications but have
considerable experience
in the energy field are
offered alternative routes
via the EI that can lead to
both a professional grade
of membership, and, if
appropriate, Engineering
Council, Chartered Scientist,
Chartered Environmentalist
or Chartered Energy
Manager registration,
through demonstration of
their knowledge in other
ways.
See page 30 to find out
about these professional
grades.
We welcome all applications
for our various grades of
membership. ●

EI Process safety survey
(EIPSS)
EIPSS is a ground-breaking,
web-based self-assessment
tool that enables an
organisation to:
●● understand its
vulnerability to having a
major incident
●● identify the location and
scale of any gaps in its
arrangements for health,
safety and environment
(HS&E) and process safety
management
●● demonstrate compliance
to stakeholders
●● highlight areas of good
performance
●● identify areas where
improvement is required
●● benchmark performance
against others
The tool is based on the
EI technical guidance
document: Process safety
management framework,
and has been developed
with key stakeholders across
the industry, including
operators, regulators
and insurers. For further
information about the tool,

performance as an integral
part of their business. The
toolkit contains individual
tools used to assess safety
attitudes and cultures
enabling teams to improve
specific aspects of safety
awareness and behaviours.
The H&M toolkit includes:
●● Understanding your
culture: a highly effective
tool to assess the levels
of safety culture across
an organisation, which
can be used for initial
culture assessments
as well as an ongoing
monitoring tool where
change programmes are
being implemented. It
is available as an online
survey and printed
handout format to
facilitate workshops. For

Tripod
Learning from accidents
and incidents is key to
improving health, safety
EI publishing

and environment (HSE)
performance. However,
all too often, incident
investigations do not go far
enough to:
●● determine the human
factors contribution to an
incident (beyond simply
attributing it to ‘human
error’), and
●● uncover the underlying
organisational/cultural
deficiencies that
encouraged that incident
to happen.
Tripod Beta and Tripod
Delta, overseen by the
Stichting Tripod Foundation,
are tools which enable
effective learning from
incidents. The EI now
supports the Stichting
Tripod Foundation,
by facilitating Tripod
accreditation schemes
and developing guidance
and tools related to Tripod
methodologies. To find out
more, visit
