I am often asked by potential customers about the need to focus on energy management.
"After all, we pay huge electricity bills, and big amount of electrical power usage is a clear indication that business is doing well."
This is correct. An electricity bill indicates a strong output; however, CFOs have hard times trying to find wise ways to allocate expenses accurately since they have no idea if you are working efficiently and if these huge costs are really necessary. And when searching for cost reduction items, what are the alternatives?
Over the years I have surprisingly noticed that cost reduction and efficiency projects generally result in significant dollars saving in electricity expenses.
Projects of this kind provide companies with the ability to actually save money instantly and become more efficient. Efficiency does not have to be cutting and tightening belts, but rather a precise observation and shifting of the energy and electricity management to make it wiser and transparent.
