Case Study: Newport Wafer Fab saves £1.1 million per year with CoolPlanet energy optimisation

Saving Newport Wafer £1.1m per year through CHP & compressed air optimisation

Newport Wafer, a semiconductor manufacturer and the UK's largest semiconductor plant, engaged with CoolPlanet to reduce its significant electricity costs, improve overall energy efficiency, and lower its carbon emissions.

CoolPlanet conducted an Investment Grade Audit and implemented multiple energy conservation measures. These included installing a tri-generation CHP system, optimizing chillers, repairing compressed air leaks, and deploying their CoolPlanetOS energy management software for real-time monitoring. The project delivered annual cost savings of £1.1 million, provided full visibility of energy usage, and established robust controls for future optimization.
