Return on monies spent can not be easily measured as energy consumption is directly proportional to the 'output'. The 'output' is dependent on 'throughput' which is dependent on 'customers orders'. Customer orders fluctuate due to lean and good times and may be seasonal.

It is similar to walking on a tightrope with one end fixed and the other in your hand.
