Energy: strategic checklist
Those who are responsible for ensuring that the cost of energy and the reliability of its supply are within desired competitive standards have a very interesting to do list.
* Free energy market
Evaluate "collar" prices to capture additional savings but with "risk mitigation.
* Energy efficiency
Explore structured formats to achieve additional results, such as "shared-savings", "performance contracting" among others.
* Distributed generation
Identify projects that offer attractive energy prices potentially in an "energy as a service" format.
* Energy management
Check if a system has been installed that proactively monitors the main physical parameters (kW demand, kWh energy, power factor, time of use, etc.) and associated costs that influence the bills of each contracted energy source.
* Metrics
Make sure that there is a solid a reference for decision making both in terms of unit costs of each source ($/kWh) and in energy conversion processes (kWh/activity).
None of this is difficult or complicated. On the contrary: simple and easy and therefore with great potential to generate special results.
