The energy challenges European manufacturers face today

Deindustrialisation pressure and global competition
Rising energy prices, stricter regulation and growing competition from China are increasing the pressure. It is becoming harder to keep production local and stay competitive globally.
Complex operations across sites and countries
Changing shift and maintenance schedules, on-site batteries and the rollout of an electric vehicle fleet make it harder to forecast demand and plan energy purchasing.
Limited visibility and control over volatile costs
Energy procurement happens in silos – manual research, manual spreadsheets and manual trading. Without shared knowledge, it is hard to develop an energy strategy and follow it consistently.
