Energy Intensive

Cost reduction is a central theme for any company, both to preserve the competitive position and to strengthen margins.
Among other key cost reduction issues, energy costs play a central role.

The largest consumers (i.e. energy–intensive companies), especially those with complex consumption structures (large sales networks, major distributors, major infrastructure such as roads or railways) are adopting more complex energy supply methods (self-procurement). In doing so, their know-how and tool requirements are becoming increasingly similar to those of energy wholesalers. This is where energy management issues come into the energy-intensive field.

In fact, in order to buy energy on better terms, these large consumers act like energy wholesalers, like in demand forecasting. By doing it internally, companies are able to obtain lower prices from the energy suppliers.

The needs and requirements of energy-intensive companies are therefore the same as the wholesalers’, which is why i4C offers them the leading tool for traders and wholesalers: E4C Forecaster Power.

Alternatively, EI companies may approach energy cost reduction from the efficiency and control side.
i4C also offers a specific solution in this area. With Invoice Checking, customers can simulate and verify purchase invoices, which means more control with less resources.
