The challenge of "strategizing"
The challenge of "strategizing"
A minority of companies and institutions contract energy super competitively and use it efficiently have a common characteristic.
They design robust strategies and use metrics to permanently monitor results.
Contracting energy includes evaluating the sources that should be part of the portfolio in order to make a good cost arbitrage and also mitigating the risks of unplanned interruptions of the public grid.
Using energy efficiently requires energy conversion processes that reduce waste, take into account on-peak and off-peak hours, control recorded demand and power factor.
All this is well known and even simple. But... there needs to be a systemic commitment from board members, managers and employees on the operations floor.
I can safely say that this approach is worth it. There are often super valuable opportunities to be discovered and captured.
