Implementing the tools needed to manage your electricity spend and usage is the first step in your energy management journey. But it’s what you do with the big data that’s important. Understanding the output and creating meaningful changes from it is a whole other ball game.
"There are 40 different electricity networks and rate structures across Australia and New Zealand, which makes the drivers of electricity cost extremely difficult to decipher. The challenge for any business is understanding the complexities and interpreting them in a meaningful and simple format."
—Matt Shultz, Energy Advisor, Enel X ANZ
Let’s face it, no company can be an expert at everything. It’s important for any business to focus on what they’re really good at – which is producing their core products or services. Having someone who is specialised and passionate about implementing change is key to delivering value quickly.
And in our market research, expert advice is something we have consistently heard customers asking for. They see real value in getting expert help to solve their most complex energy problems. But don’t just take it from us – we recently spoke to Stuart Bain from Rigters Supermarket Group, and one of our super passionate in-house energy advisers—Matt Shultz—to find out exactly what value energy advisors are delivering to customers.
Your Energy Advisor Helps Your Business Meet Energy Goals
"We’ve seen benefit by having an expert in the field freeing up our time. He’s essentially on our payroll, working in the background and dedicated to helping us find savings."
—Stuart Bain, Operations Manager

Enel X’s energy advisors work closely with their enterprise clients to uncover hidden cost savings opportunities. They quickly become the trusted advisor for their clients—a natural fit to their business or an extension of their team.
Matt recently worked very closely with a large multi-site construction materials business. After 8 months of intense work he identified a huge $1.2M savings opportunity when looking at one of the key drivers of energy cost—how you buy energy.
This resulted in a 23% recurring saving on the enterprise’s electricity spend, capital that they can reinvest to find further efficiencies.
For Rigters, having an energy advisor led to more than just an isolated savings opportunity.
"Our Enel X energy advisor helped us make simple adjustments for major savings. We now understand the best time to do things and have put the right procedures in place. He helped us roll it out across the business and get all our staff on board."
—Stuart Bain, Operations Manager
