The challenge at Cérèsia

In 2022, Cérèsia encountered significant challenges, notably a dramatic increase in electricity purchase tariffs, leading to an annual expense of 4 million euros for 18 GWh of electricity and 20 GWh of gas. . Operational monitoring of 137 facilities with no consolidated tool, and limited ad hoc energy reviews, made it difficult to react quickly to variations in consumption.

The Energiency solution

Energiency’s software was integrated on a customized basis, offering a concrete vision of its adaptability to the corporation's operation. Flexibility, ergonomics and data security were key success factors, enabling Cérèsia to deploy a tailor-made solution for its 137 facilities.

Initially, the implementation of the ENLIGHT offer  was introduced with limited support from the Reims (France) head office, including consolidation of point-of-delivery data and setup of the application.

Dashboard templates were created for each type of facility, offering detailed analyses such as monthly load lines, consumption stubs, etc.

Initiating the transition to the ENPOWER offer reinforced the customization of the application and the calculation of Energy Performance Indicators (EPI) by usage.

Finally, Energiency has developed specific features to address the requirement for organizing and managing information within the application across Cérèsia’s 137 facilities.

Throughout the summer, I kept a close eye on consumption at the facilities, checking Energiency’s software once every 2 days. As soon as I spotted any deviations or unusual consumption patterns, particularly in the event of significant peaks, I would send an e-mail to the teams asking them to switch the machines off or on at the right time. The platform enabled me to spot several deviations from June to August."
