Commercial & Industrial

Real-time energy management for telcos, retail chains, manufacturing, and data centres. Time-of-use modelling, demand reduction, and the analytics to defend procurement decisions to a board.

Proof point

High-load site visibility

operational support across telcos, logistics, and industrial sites

with the same operational discipline applied to multi-tenant property portfolios.

The C&I energy story is mostly about visibility. When you can see the 30-minute profile of every site in your portfolio, decisions you used to make on intuition become decisions you make on numbers.

What real-time data unlocks

  • Procurement leverage, when you can prove your demand profile, you can negotiate the supplier contract that fits it. Bulk rates, TOU windows, and load-shifting incentives all become discussable.
  • Demand reduction, Maximum Demand (NMD) charges drift up because nobody is watching them. KVA reports with NMD modelling tell you exactly which 30-minute window cost you the year’s charge, and what it would have cost if you’d shed 50 kW.
  • Power factor recovery, Power-factor reports highlight Varhs exposure month by month, with payback modelling for correction equipment.
  • Tariff optimisation, Tariff comparison reports model your actual consumption profile against every available tariff structure, then flag the cheapest. We’ve moved buildings between tariffs purely on the strength of the modelling.

What an engagement typically includes

  1. A baseline audit of the metering fleet and current consumption profile.
  2. A monitoring layer, smart meters where missing, comms retrofits where they’re present but blind.
  3. A reporting cadence, monthly Performance Reports + KVA + Power Factor + Night Usage + Tariff Comparison, all delivered through the Insights portal.
  4. A reduction programme, identified savings tracked through the benefits-realisation discipline our consulting team applies to every engagement.

What we see and what we do

The patterns we recognise, and the playbook we run.

What usually goes wrong

  • Energy procurement decisions made on annualised averages rather than half-hourly load profiles
  • Time-of-use tariff exposure that isn't modelled, peak-hours consumption priced at peak rates
  • Maximum demand (NMD) charges drifting up year-on-year with nobody owning the reduction case
  • Power factor charges silently eating margin
  • Multi-site portfolios where one bad site distorts the consolidated view
  • Sustainability / ESG reporting that can't be defended because the source data is estimated

How we help

  • Real-time profile-graph access for every meter, half-hourly, exportable, per site or consolidated
  • TOU and tariff scenario modelling against actual consumption profiles
  • KVA / Maximum Demand reports with NMD reduction modelling
  • Power factor reports highlighting where correction equipment would pay back
  • Multi-source reconciliation, grid + solar + generator with per-source billing
  • ESG-grade consumption reporting backed by audited metering
