In the following article we tell you how to achieve energy savings in your company!
In Colombia there are more than 4,000 companies endorsed by Superservices for the provision of the six home public services: electricity, thermal energy -natural gas and LPG-, aqueduct, sewage, sanitation and telecommunications (Open Data Colombia, 2021).
Each of these companies, following the regulations provided through laws and resolutions, is able to invoice month by month for the provision of the service to end users , regardless of whether they are residential, commercial or industrial.
Typically, the expenses associated with public services in the industrial sector vary between 5% and 15% , and in the commercial sector , they can vary between 15% and 60% of the total operating expenses.
In this sense, speaking specifically of energy, it should be noted that energy in Colombia is more expensive than the average for the rest of the world, In addition, the price of this is growing much faster than inflation itselfThis means that special attention must be paid to what is paid each month, since Colombian companies are not receiving energy saving However, there are few tools available for users to better manage their invoices.
End users encounter a natural barrier to making a detailed review of what is consumed and paid to each public service provider, because the associated regulations are quite extensive and dense at the same time.
The cost of energy in each country is not considered residential values. December of the year 2020.
This, added to public ignorance of the possibility of generating energy saving of its public services through the process of exemption from charges for solidarity contribution in electricity or natural gas, which correspond to up to 20% of billing ; the possibility of request extraordinary appraisals to reduce the rate of cleanliness ; the possibility of change energy marketer to find a better rate , even when it becomes part of the regulated market; in addition to many other mechanisms available for generate savings associated with the billing of public services.
Through the module ‘Purchase Management’ of Azimut Energía’s platform makes it possible to track utility bills in detail. through digital tools and data analytics, where it is possible to access from a single location to historical information on consumption and payments, evolution of unit tariffs associated with regulations or the national market situation, sectorial comparative analysis, identification of energy saving opportunities, etc.among others.
In other words, this module is the ideal assistant for those who want to have full control of what they are paying, with investments starting at 2.5 USD per month.
Of the six residential public services, electricity is the one that has aroused the most interest among commercial and industrial users of the Azimut Energía Management platform, since it is typically the most relevant public service in economic terms and indispensable in terms of operational.
And how do we achieve these energy savings?
With the aim of accompanying our users in the correct management of their resources, the ‘Purchase Management’ module makes available digital and data analytics tools for comparison of energy expenditures vs. budgetsThe following are some of the main features of this project: unification of information from multiple corporate accounts; analysis of energy tariff volatility; historical invoice consultation; generation of energy efficiency indicators, benchmarking for sectoral analysis and identification of savings opportunities from utility bills, among others.
All this oriented to savings opportunities through claims for billing errors; unit rate negotiation; energy market changes; voltage level changes; inductive and capacitive reactive energy penalty; exemption from charges for solidarity contribution; demand response; internal recoveries; management of KPI’s or key indicators; quantification of cost overruns for interest on arrears; surveillance of special rates, etc.
