Monthly Calculation:

Average Electricity Consumption 170,000 – 200,000 kWh per month
Average Water Consumption 1000 m per month
3
Paper 100 kg
Plastic Wraps (Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)) and Foams 200 kg
(Polystyrene)
Waste (Fish) 2000 kg or 2 tons
Transport (Fuel Consumption from 11 trucks) 7,700 litres
Monthly power consumed by tungsten lights in cold rooms = 9.516 x 12 x 30
= 3,426 kWh

Monthly power usage for lighting up the factory = 19.076 x 12 x 30
= 6,867 kWh
Monthly power consumed by air-conditioner units = 91.500 x 12 x 30
= 32,940 kWh
Monthly power consumed by machineries and equipment during = 160 x 12 x 30
non-office hours = 57,600 kWh
Monthly power consumed by machineries and equipment during = [200,000 – (1+2+3+4)] kWh
office hours = 200,000 – 100,833 kWh
= 99,167 kWh

Resource Reference Factors
Electricity - SP group with GST included 20.97 cents/kWh (w GST)
Water $1.29 or $1.63/m³ (w GST) based on < 40 m³ or > 40 m³

Table 4: Reference factors.

Calculation based on Reference Factors (See Table 4).
• Electricity Consumption of 200,000 kWh per month = $0.2097 x 200,000 kWh = $41,940

• Water Consumption of 1,000 m3 per month = $1.63 x 1000 = $1,630
