Increasing energy efficiency in productive sectors, through the use of technology and renewable energy sources, is becoming an increasingly strategic decision in top business leadership.
In a complex scenario with major challenges, the development of sustainable practices and digital transformation present themselves as innovative solutions for a high-impact, mainly financial, change in corporate energy management.
That is why C-Suites of companies of different segments and sizes are opting for the use of cost management technologies that meet the operation profile and consumption characteristics and their companies in a customised way.
Here are the 3 main advantages of investing in an intelligent energy management system:
1. Financial Savings
One of the major challenges that the business sector must deal with quickly and efficiently in the current scenario is the containment of energy waste, an essential input in all production processes and with high tariff volatility.
It must be kept in mind that electric power is a variable cost utility and therefore requires differentiated attention in its management.
One of the most impacting results for a company that adheres to a system based on artificial intelligence for the management of this input is undoubtedly the accuracy of data, agility in decision making and consequently the reduction of costs.
2. Increase in Competitiveness
Reducing costs through an energy efficiency plan means increasing a company's profit margins and competitive advantage in its market.
With the savings achieved, it is possible to create new revenue streams, improve the final pricing of products, reallocate financial reserves to Marketing or make other investment moves so that the company stands out from its competitors.
3. Sustainability and Corporate Image Reputation
Companies that place sustainability at the forefront of their business strategy are able to position themselves positively in the eyes of their consumer audience and enhance their image reputation throughout their chain of stakeholders, including shareholders and investors.
By using a digital energy management platform it is possible to improve sustainability indicators and easily access data to reduce consumption and increase energy efficiency in order to report to the market the company's performance in terms of minimising environmental impacts.
It is important to remember that companies’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices have received attention from the global market because they are associated with sounder and more resilient businesses against the risks associated with climate change.
In other words, investing in energy efficiency and communicating improvements to the market is a way to attract and retain investments, partners and customers and increase brand value.
Artificial Intelligence and Energy Management
Knowing the advantages of digitising energy management, see now how an Artificial Intelligence system works together with the energy efficiency plan to improve the performance of business units.
1. Description: Through real-time monitoring, it is possible to receive detailed information on the energy consumption of all equipment or company websites.
2. Prediction: Visibility of consumption and cost forecasts.
3. Analysis: From the data gathered, the system is able to generate an in-depth analysis for energy optimisation, as well as suggestions for solutions to increase energy efficiency and reduce costs.
4. Report Generation: Creation of customised reports for specific purposes, such as controlling energy spending, consumption variation and sustainability indices.
