One more year where energy management and specially energy efficiency have gained importance in the public sphere. From the latest EU directives in relation to energy efficiency to diverse schemes like ESOS in the UK, energy management is something that businesses and public bodies need to address.

This year again, we asked professionals like you to complete this questionnaire and to get an overview of the global state of energy management in terms of challenges and trends. The questionnaire had a series of questions about your experience during 2024, some focused on your company (anonymously) and some on your vision of the energy sector.

Your responses help us understand the current state of the market to then prepare a report with the conclusions, which is already available. Whether you are an energy professional or a concerned CEO looking into it, we’re very grateful for your responses.

Microgrids are revolutionising energy management, offering businesses a more sustainable and resilient way to generate and use power. By integrating renewable energy sources like solar or wind with storage systems, microgrids reduce reliance on the main grid, cutting costs, improving energy security and reducing the carbon footprint.

To monitor new and existing power generation plants, as an energy manager you need the appropriate tools. Why? To monitor the data closely, to analyse performance, and to ensure optimum efficiency.

This article explores the role of an Energy Management System to monitor microgrids, linked to the new microgrid module available in the Spacewell Energy Platform.

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy assessment and energy savings identification program established by the UK government. It aims to help large organizations improve their energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. By conducting regular energy audits, businesses can identify cost-effective measures to enhance their energy performance.

Since its inception, ESOS has demonstrated significant results, with estimated annual energy savings of 1.65 TWh from buildings and 1.51 TWh from industrial processes. These savings not only contribute to reducing the carbon footprint but also translate into substantial financial benefits for participating organisations.

This article focuses on the ESOS scheme and particularly on the ESOS Action Plan to be submitted as part of the compliance process. And invites you to our webinar to learn all about it.
