Shifting to active energy management

Advances in energy markets and technologies have given companies more control over how they use energy, how much that energy costs, and how that energy is sourced. Active energy management is the process of integrating energy supply, energy demand, and sustainability data, programs, and strategies for greater efficiency and maximum results. This means that an organization’s procurement officer, operations manager, and sustainability director work together to form a cohesive strategy, share data, and deploy joint initiatives.

Our EcoStruxure Energy & Sustainability Services help our customers make the shift.

Examples of active energy management

Demand response programs based on real-time price signals
Combining renewable energy strategies
Efficiency programs to reach CO₂ reduction goals
Using utility invoices to comply with energy management and sustainability compliance programs
