FACILITY AND ENERGY AUDIT

Facility and energy audit

Build a reliable baseline for a behind-the-meter project

We review consumption profiles, demand peaks, tariffs and infrastructure performance to identify actions that can genuinely lower energy costs and prepare your company for decisions on PV, BESS or EMS.

You receive structured data, findings and recommended next steps — before you invest in a technical project.

Facility and energy audit — consumption profile analysis at a production plant
Hourly profile
Energy use visible in the rhythm of site operations.
Demand peaks
Identification of moments that may drive up costs.
PV / BESS / EMS potential
Initial screening of behind-the-meter technologies.
Action plan
Data-driven priorities for further analysis.

Why PV, BESS and EMS may become relevant after an audit

The audit does not pre-select a specific solution. It establishes whether the site's load profile, tariff structure and operating model justify a deeper analysis of PV, BESS or EMS.

1. You see what really drives your bills

We analyze consumption profiles, tariffs, demand peaks and distribution charges to highlight areas that need attention.

2. You reduce the risk of a misaligned investment

The audit helps verify whether planned solutions such as PV, BESS or EMS fit the site's actual operating profile.

3. You set action priorities

Instead of a generic list of options, you receive recommendations for next steps: from consumption profile optimization to further technical analysis.

4. You build a basis for management decisions

Audit results organize energy data and make it easier to discuss costs, investments, decarbonization and budget planning.

Scope of analysis

What does the audit cover?

Consumption profile analysis

We build an hourly picture of the site's energy demand: daily, weekly and seasonal profiles, base and variable loads, and the link between consumption and plant operating rhythm.

Tariffs, costs and peaks

We check when energy costs the most and which elements of the operating profile may affect energy bills, distribution charges, contracted power and use of tariff zones.

Anomalies and flexibility

We detect atypical energy behavior and assess whether there is room for better demand management.

Initial PV, BESS and EMS analysis

We assess whether site data justifies further design of PV, an energy storage BESS or EMS system. This is potential qualification, not a declaration of a ready investment outcome.

Audit process

How does the facility and energy audit work?

In practice we analyze

We start the audit by collecting data on energy consumption, tariffs, costs and the plant's operating profile. We then analyze hourly demand, identify peak consumption periods and flag anomalies that may affect operating costs.

On this basis we assess whether further design of solutions such as PV, BESS and EMS is justified at the site. The audit outcome is an organized energy baseline and recommendations for next steps: from identifying consumption profile optimization potential to an initial assessment of whether a behind-the-meter project makes sense.

  • hour-by-hour electricity consumption profile,
  • tariffs, demand peaks and potential cost drivers,
  • main components of energy and distribution costs, including the impact of consumption profile, contracted power and tariff zones,
  • anomalies in site operations and opportunities to improve flexibility,
  • potential for PV, BESS and EMS,
  • directions for further technical and business analysis.

Applications

Use cases in industry and manufacturing

A facility and energy audit is especially useful at plants where machine operating profiles, production variability and tariff costs directly affect energy bills. The analysis helps identify where energy use stems from the production process and where there is room for better demand management.

Multi-shift production and variable load

At plants operating in one-, two- or three-shift mode, the audit helps explain how the production schedule affects energy demand profile, power peaks and use of tariff zones.

Processes with high instantaneous power

The audit identifies equipment or processes that may generate short-term demand spikes. This is the starting point for assessing whether operational actions, EMS control or BESS storage should be analyzed further.

Sites with seasonal or irregular operating profiles

At facilities where demand changes between seasons, shifts or production lines, the audit organizes data and highlights periods of greatest cost pressure.

Sites planning PV, BESS or EMS

For companies considering photovoltaic installation, energy storage or an energy management system, the audit is the first step to assess whether such solutions match the site's actual consumption profile.

Plants preparing decarbonization projects

The audit can support planning actions that reduce grid imports and organize the decarbonization path, without declaring outcomes before data analysis.

Business benefits

Business benefits

Cost visibility – understanding which elements of the consumption profile affect energy bills, distribution costs and demand peaks.

Investment clarity – decisions on further PV, BESS and EMS analysis based on your own site data, not generic assumptions.

Reduced project risk – early verification of the technical and economic potential of a behind-the-meter project before detailed design.

Decarbonization readiness – organized energy data and identification of actions supporting reduced grid imports and CO2 reduction planning.

What data is needed?

To start the audit, we typically need energy consumption data, invoices or a cost summary, information on tariff, contracted power, plant operating profile and — if available — hourly data from meters or measurement systems. The better the data resolution, the more accurate the assessment of demand peaks, anomalies and potential for PV, BESS and EMS.

What will you receive?

  • a map of the site's electricity consumption,
  • analysis of hourly demand and operating profile,
  • identification of tariff costs, peaks and anomalies,
  • assessment of energy flexibility potential,
  • initial analysis of whether further work on PV, BESS and EMS is justified,
  • recommended next steps for a behind-the-meter project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Answers to the most common questions about the audit.

No. Invoices are a starting point, but the key is analysis of consumption profile, peaks, tariffs, site operations and behind-the-meter technology potential.

The audit indicates the most justified directions for further analysis: PV, BESS, EMS or operational actions. Its purpose is to build a credible baseline for further technical and business project work.

For industrial and manufacturing plants and sites with significant energy costs, where demand peaks, load variability and operating profile affect operating expenses.

Yes, it can support organizing energy data and planning decarbonization actions. Specific outcomes depend on analysis results and subsequent investment decisions.
