The opportunity to receive funding of up to €37,532.13 from the joint project “Investment Support for Ground-Mounted Solar Power Plants” by submitting an application to the Lithuanian Energy Agency prompted UAB "Maksima" to plan the installation of a 99.9 kW ground-mounted solar power plant.
The joint project is being implemented under the “New Generation Lithuania” Recovery and Resilience Plan, financed by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU recovery and resilience instrument.
Implementation and development of production digitization technologies at UAB Maksima
On March 28, 2019, UAB Maksima signed a financing and administration agreement for the project "Implementation and Development of Production Digitization Technologies at UAB Maksima," project code No. 03.3. 1-LVPA-K-854-01-0017, in accordance with the 2014-2020 European Union Funds Investment Action Program, Priority 3, "Promoting the Competitiveness of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises," Measure "Industrial Digitization LT."
The aim of the project is to conduct a technological audit of the company and assess the possibilities and prospects of digitizing production processes in order to invest in the implementation of digitization technologies and thus create conditions for increased productivity. Projekto įgyvendinimo metu atlikus įmonės gamybos ir su gamyba susijusių procesų technologinį auditą jo išvados rekomendavo, kad būtinas įmonės plastikinių pakuočių gamybos skaitmeninimas ir plėtra įsigyjant skaitmenines modernias technologijas. Pritaikius automatizavimo ir robotikos technologijas plastikinių gaminių gamyboje būtų išspręsta ir darbo jėgos trūkumo bei didelių darbo jėgos sąnaudų gamybai problema, nes skaitmeninus gamybos procesus bus įmanomos didesnės gamybos apimtys per valandą nei darbą atliekant žmogui. Gamybos automatizavimas lems mažesnes sąnaudas produkcijos gamybai, produkcija taps konkurencingesnė rinkoje, sumažės gaminių brokas, bus lengviau patenkinti vartotojų lūkesčius ir poreikius bei praplėsti gaminamų produktų asortimentą. Projekto finansavimas: projekto biudžete nustatyta didžiausia galima projekto tinkamų finansuoti išlaidų suma – 4.505.692,00 Eur, iš Europos Sąjungos struktūrinių fondų skirta parama – iki 1.577.442,20 Eur. Projektas finansuojamas Europos regioninės plėtros fondo lėšomis. Projekto įgyvendinimo laikotarpis: 2018 m. birželis – 2021 m. gruodis.
Identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption at UAB Maksima
UAB Maksima is implementing the project "Identification of opportunities to reduce energy consumption at UAB Maksima", project code No. 04.2.1-LVPA-K-804-03-0002.
Measure No. 04.2.1-LVPA-K-804 "Audit for Industry LT" under Priority 4 "Promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy production and use" of the 2014-2020 European Union Funds Investment Action Program.
During the project, an energy consumption audit (ECA) is being conducted at UAB Maksima.
Audit objectives:
• Promote energy efficiency and the production and use of energy from renewable sources.
• Identify energy consumption volumes and energy cost indicators.
• Identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption and replacing traditional resources with renewable energy sources.
• Recommend organizational and technical measures that enable efficient energy use and reduce the company's energy costs.
• Reduce energy consumption intensity in industrial enterprises.
Auditing contributes to the following general objectives: The climate and energy targets set out in the Europe 2020 strategy (20/20/20) and the targets set by Lithuania:
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% compared to 2005 levels.
• Increase the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption to 23%.
• The overall target for final energy savings in Lithuania (BGEST) is 1,004 thousand toe or 11.677 TWh.
In the National Energy Independence Strategy, Lithuania's energy sector by 2020: in the field of energy efficiency, the aim is to increase energy consumption efficiency by 1.5% each year until 2020, thereby strengthening Lithuania's energy independence, competitiveness, and sustainable development. The aim is to save 150 Ktne or 20% of total energy consumption in the energy industry by 2020.
UAB Maksima contributes responsibly to the achievement of these goals.
