Energy is a cost of goods sold.
Process-intensive operations, half-hourly profiles, capacity market exposure. When energy is 5–15% of COGS, procurement is a margin decision.
Where the load actually sits
Manufacturing portfolios are dominated by a handful of process loads — compressed air, motors, ovens, chillers, extraction. The profile is legible, which means the opportunity is measurable: base load that should not exist, shift patterns that do not match production, and capacity charges sized for a plant configuration that changed five years ago.
We baseline consumption per unit of output, not per site. That single change reframes energy from a fixed overhead into a variable your operations team can move.
Opportunities
- Compressed air leakage running 20–30% of system output
- Out-of-hours base load with no production behind it
- Over-subscribed kVA capacity on most sites
- Triad and capacity market participation left on the table
- Heat recovery opportunities never costed
