Portugal could mandate the mandatory inclusion of all relevant data on electric motors and motor systems, including equipment nameplates, in the energy audit reports.
Energy audit requirements should mandate the inclusion of all relevant data on motor systems, such as equipment nameplates, to ensure comprehensive assessments and identify optimization opportunities.
The following feedback was provided by the consulted stakeholders:
"Including detailed motor system data (e.g., equipment nameplates) in energy audits is crucial for identifying optimization opportunities.
However, market surveillance needs to be strengthened to ensure compliance with regulations, as non-compliant equipment (e.g., IE1 and IE2 motors) is still being sold through legal loopholes."
