Energy is a major operating expense for most organizations, yet few energy managers have the tools they need to understand exactly what is driving their monthly energy spend and overcome the complexity of managing energy effectively. Managing energy spend starts with visibility into the three cost drivers: How you buy energy: Buying energy isn’t as simple as paying a monthly bill. Did you get the best price? Are you exposed to market risk? How are you performing against your budget? Is your utility bill even accurate? How much you use: The cheapest kilowatt hour is the one you don’t use. Are your facilities or processes operating most efficiently? Are you using more energy than you need to achieve your business goals? When you use energy: Not every kilowatt is created equal. Are you able to shift your operations to take advantage of lower cost times to use energy? Do you have the operational flexibility to turn your willingness to use less into a revenue stream?
