Energy management is largely a science. Today's energy management challenges are much more dynamic than they were in the past. Corporates are facing acute energy crisis. On one hand, they are caught with scarcity of electricity supply and on the other, the ever increasing cost of energy. Various organisations with lead from Bureau of Energy Efficiency are looking for accredited energy managers and auditors to find solution to the creeping problems.

Energy management is an essential and unavoidable activity in most of the industrial sector. Energy management systems are applied in various forms and degrees of sophistication to all sectors of industry. It contains a large variety of measures e.g. recognising the importance of energy management, target setting, planning, monitoring, reporting and implementing optimal control strategies. Such planned strategies require a specialised stream exclusively dedicated to develop individuals into expert energy managers.

Energy is a diverse field, with many job opportunities. It will open opportunities in utility management for various industrial sectors such as fertilizers, refinery, paper and pulp, cement, rubber, pharmaceutical, chemical, textile, gas and oil companies and various energy intensive industries utilising fuel and electricity.
