Energy for companies: strategic plan

One of the important differences between what was routine until the relatively recent past and today is the enormous diversity of potential solutions in the energy area.

Achieving and maintaining excellent $/kWh and kWh/activity metrics in the energy area is a permanent and important challenge - as it is a Top 10 cost item - often Top 5. To be successful in this endeavour, it is essential to create a strategic plan to align perceptions and expectations from the board to the upper management.

And then organize an operational plan to make it happen. The following actions must be included on the agenda:

(1) contracting energy sources,

(2) their efficient use,

(3) mitigating source price risks,

(4) generation, cogeneration and higher voltage access projects - among others .

It will be worth trying this path. The results are - generally - surprising, according to my consulting experience!
