Energy is mainly used for machinery, processing equipment, refrigeration, heating and cooling systems and lighting. Many facilities run equipment for long hours, which increases overall consumption and demand costs.
Peak charges occur when multiple high-load machines, HVAC systems or processing equipment operate at the same time. These spikes increase demand tariffs, even if total energy usage is stable.
SMEs can reduce costs by comparing rates regularly, upgrading to efficient equipment, managing when machinery operates, reviewing tariffs, improving insulation and monitoring usage to identify high-load periods.
Large operators use significant energy for heavy machinery, refrigeration, compressed air systems, HVAC, process heating and continuous production lines. Running multiple high-draw systems concurrently increases both consumption and demand charges.
Manufacturers can align contract end dates, benchmark usage across facilities, install sub-metering, review tariffs, upgrade older machinery and use energy insights to understand production-related peaks. This helps reduce both operating costs and grid demand.
