Embedded Energy Manager
The energy landscape is complex with a multitude of challenges for businesses to face. These include tackling rising commodity costs, managing non-commodity costs, reducing consumption and delivering compliance. These responsibilities typically lie with an energy manager to complete and their role is of paramount importance to any business. Their impact can be immediate in terms of cost savings and their vision imperative as part of a wider long-term company strategy.
The role of an energy manager has changed considerably. Traditionally their main responsibility was to procure utility contracts. However now, there is a requirement for much more. For maximum effect they need to fully integrate their utility proposition with the company’s core strategy. Their vision and goals need to include a variety of quick wins and long term objectives and their knowledge base needs to be vast. Not only are they procuring energy but they are managing it with new technologies. They are tackling sustainability issues and complying with legislation to meet deadlines. They are analysing consumption and proactively seeking improvements that can be implemented to the benefit of your business.
A successful energy manager actively sets targets and takes the lead with energy objectives incorporating the whole taskforce with their efficiency goals. They need to be an excellent communicator, to their team, to the company – right up to the board room – and to your customers. For many businesses however, they do not have this resource or the cost to employ someone in this role.
