Case Study: Clonarn Clover achieves up to 10% energy savings and smarter sustainability decisions with EnergyCAP

Clonarn Clover needed a solution to effectively monitor energy consumption and reduce operational costs

Clonarn Clover, a leading Irish free‑range egg packer, sought to reduce energy use and meet Origin Green sustainability targets but struggled to pinpoint waste using traditional bills. To tackle this, they engaged EnergyCAP to deploy an energy management solution — installing site‑wide electricity monitoring across the egg grading, packing and administration areas and providing an online energy dashboard for real‑time visibility.

EnergyCAP’s system delivered analytics, alerts and Energy Performance Indicators that helped Clonarn Clover identify high‑use equipment and optimize operations; simple measures (e.g., starting equipment only when needed and switching off during breaks) cut energy use by as much as 10% on some machines. The data also supported a business case to replace a heated plastic sleeve wrapper with a non‑heating, plastic‑free model, further reducing energy and plastic use, while enabling measured verification of savings through EnergyCAP’s platform.
