Either you take the lead on electrification, or you don’t take the lead at all.
You used to buy diesel. Electricity requires active management.
You can see this in things such as:
- Charging schedules that make route planning uncertain.
- You’re waiting for more transport capacity. Who determines your growth: you, or the grid operator?
- Transport costs per e-truck that you have to piece together retrospectively from multiple portals.
- A meeting with the grid operator about congestion management, for which you’ll want to be prepared.
- Your cost base is shifting from €/L to €/kWh: a price that changes every quarter of an hour, with 35,040 decision points per year.
That’s exactly where we come in.
Here's how we do it
Your business process determines the context and the boundaries. Within that framework, we focus our efforts where they deliver the most value.
- Business process. We map out how your process works, what the constraints are and what you want to achieve.
- Safeguarding operations. Trucks loaded, within your connection capacity, installations available: operations continue uninterrupted, at all times.
- Reducing costs. We achieve this at the lowest possible cost.
- Creating value. We use any remaining flexibility to generate additional revenue.
Your operations come first. Then, we maximise the return on your energy.
What this means in practice
Lower costs, higher returns
For a client with over 400 branches, centralised control resulted in an 8% reduction in energy costs. At another transport centre with a battery and rooftop PV: an 8% reduction in energy costs and over €175,000 in additional revenue from imbalance and aFRR. Every case is different. We will determine the figures relevant to your business together during the analysis phase.
A single, coordinated system: battery, charging hub, cooling, PV
The more of your installations we manage, the higher your returns on the energy markets. Peak monitoring prevents costly exceedances of your connection capacity when charging e-trucks. We manage your battery, cooling and solar panels as a single system, always within the limits set by your operations.
Your dedicated energy manager
A single point of contact, backed by a whole team of energy managers, traders and data specialists. They understand your processes, bid on your behalf in the energy markets and make adjustments as soon as the market moves.
Real-time insight, always up to date
A complete overview of consumption, generation and costs in your own portal. €/km and €/kWh are immediately visible, as is your invoice verification. You know exactly where you stand.
One platform, centralised management
All your sites, installations and data on a single platform. Centralised management, local benefits: that’s how you maintain control with just 1 FTE, even with 400+ locations.
