ENERGY MONITORING

Understanding how and when your business uses energy is an important first step towards reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Taurus can help businesses gain a clearer picture of their energy consumption using available meter data, half-hourly consumption information and energy records. This allows you to identify patterns, unusual usage and areas where improvements may be possible.

Why Monitor Your Energy?

Energy consumption can vary significantly throughout the day, across different sites and between operating periods. Without clear visibility, opportunities to reduce waste or improve efficiency can easily be missed.

Energy monitoring can help you:

Understand Consumption
See how much energy your business is using and identify when demand is highest.

Identify Unusual Usage
Highlight unexpected consumption patterns, including potential out-of-hours usage or changes in demand.

Understand Peak Demand
Identify periods of high energy consumption that may warrant further investigation or action.

Support Energy Efficiency
Use better consumption information to identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary energy use.

Half-Hourly Energy Data

For businesses with half-hourly meters, detailed consumption data can provide a much clearer picture of how energy is being used throughout the day.

This can help reveal:

• Daily and seasonal consumption patterns
• Peak periods of demand
• Changes in energy usage
• Potential areas of energy waste
• Opportunities for improved energy efficiency

The same data can also help inform wider energy decisions, including the suitability and potential sizing of solutions such as commercial solar PV and battery storage.

Monitoring Across Multiple Sites

For businesses operating across multiple locations, bringing energy information together can provide a clearer view of the overall portfolio.

Comparing consumption between sites can help identify where energy use is higher than expected and where further investigation may be worthwhile.

This is particularly relevant for multi-site businesses, commercial property portfolios and high-energy users.

From Data to Action

Energy monitoring is not just about collecting information. The value comes from using that information to make better decisions.

Your energy data can help inform a wider strategy covering:

Monitor → Understand → Reduce → Optimise → Generate

By understanding your current energy profile, you can make more informed decisions around energy efficiency, procurement, solar generation and battery storage.

Energy Monitoring That Supports Your Wider Strategy

Taurus Renewable Energy and the wider Taurus energy proposition can connect energy monitoring with practical energy solutions.

Monitoring can provide the information needed to identify opportunities for:

• Energy efficiency
• Energy cost reduction
• Renewable generation
• Battery storage
• Energy procurement
• Carbon reduction

The aim is to give businesses a clearer understanding of their energy use so they can make better informed, commercially sensible decisions.
