LIEN Overview

The Large Industry Energy Network (LIEN) is a voluntary network, facilitated by SEAI, of companies working to maintain strong energy management and environmental protection practices.

Regular workshops, seminars and site visits enable LIEN members to learn from energy experts and other specialists, and share knowledge and experiences with other energy managers.

The energy-saving achievements of LIEN members are particularly notable because most of the companies had already pursued strong energy management before joining the network.

By taking part in LIEN, you will:

• Have access to LIEN's energy expertise and knowledge, built up over a decade and a half
• Reduce your energy costs
• Maintain robust energy efficiency
• Reduce your greenhouse-gas emissions
• Boost your reputation for social responsibility and environmental protection

Some members, including a number of Ireland's leading companies, have improved their energy efficiency by over 30% over the last decade.

Members collectively avoided €60 million in energy costs in 2008.

On joining the network, you commit to:

• Developing an energy-management programme
• Setting/reviewing energy targets
• Undertaking an annual energy audit
• Producing an annual statement-of-energy account

Membership is expanding all the time. You can join the LIEN if you are part of the Energy Agreements Programme and/or spend more than €1m on energy yearly.
