In this article we look at what our Energy Consumption Management service is, what it is for and how it can benefit you.
What is energy consumption management?
Energy consumption management is the process of monitoring, controlling and optimising the use of energy in an organisation. This process involves collecting data on the organisation’s specific energy consumption, analysing this data to identify areas for improvement, and implementing strategies to reduce consumption and associated costs.
At Energía Local, based on our experience as energy and sustainability experts, we are committed to monitoring and analysing energy consumption and prices to help organisations make the best energy decisions.
We believe in the importance of forecasting. That is why we focus on informing and communicating any changes in energy regulations to improve both the present and future energy of any business.
In addition, in our role as Energy Consumption Manager, we go one step further and take responsibility for validating supplier invoices and managing the necessary claims. In this way, we offer our clients a comprehensive and personalised service.
As an energy consumption manager, we also propose measures to optimise energy supply contracting and adapt the contracted power to each company’s consumption profile to ensure that the best possible contracting conditions are maintained.
The importance of proper energy management
It should be noted that the main purpose of energy consumption management is to achieve energy efficiency. This energy efficiency is synonymous with contributing to the well-being of the planet and people, as it means reducing carbon footprints and polluting emissions.
In addition, detailed monitoring is necessary for active management of energy costs, allowing the company to be more competitive and operate at a lower cost.
Moreover, many regulations require companies to manage energy consumption in an optimal way.
Benefits for your company
Proper management of your company’s energy consumption brings a number of benefits:
Environmental
As mentioned above, maximising and optimising energy consumption reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This is particularly important in energy-intensive industries such as manufacturing and transport. By managing energy consumption, it is possible to contribute to cleaner energy.
By the same token, adopting sustainable practices not only benefits the planet and people, but is also a tool for consolidating and strengthening a company’s reputation, accessing new markets and attracting or retaining customers and employees.
In the economic sphere
Companies that implement energy management practices can see great results in reducing their energy costs. Moreover, these savings are not limited to reduced energy consumption; they can also include tax incentives and subsidies for projects that contribute to energy efficiency.
At the operational level
Managing energy consumption can improve the operational side of a business. This is because energy inefficiencies are identified and corrected. For example, overheating of equipment, inefficiencies in heating or ventilation systems, etc. In addition to operational benefits, this can reduce maintenance costs and extend the useful life of equipment.
Who is our service for?
First of all, it must be emphasised that energy consumption management is essential for any organisation wishing to optimise its energy consumption.
Some examples of sectors where this service is particularly useful are
- The industrial sector: This sector, especially the manufacturing industry, is characterised by high energy consumption. In this case, managing energy consumption can become a tool for solving inefficiencies that lead to high costs.
- The tertiary or service sector: hotels, shopping centres, department stores, etc. All organisations concerned about the evolution of their energy costs can opt for energy consumption management as a solution that provides stability.
- Public and educational institutions: The public sector is another major beneficiary of energy consumption management because, in addition to reducing its operating costs, it is sometimes subject to strict sustainability regulations and needs to position itself as a responsible entity.
