If we look at the factor of total production costs COGM (Cost Of Goods Manufactured) in the last five years, the portion of energy costs always occupies the top position with a percentage of 45%-52% of the total cost of cement production. Therefore, in order to win the competition in the cement industry, it is necessary to manage energy consumption more effectively and efficiently.

The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the energy management system at PT Semen Padang has a significant impact on reducing energy consumption and increasing the company's competitive advantage so that it has an impact on increasing the bottom line of PT Semen Padang.
