A baseline connects bills, activity, schedules and equipment to distinguish waste, real need and investment opportunity.

07 August 2026

Gather data

Bills, equipment inventory, schedules, production volumes and operating incidents give context to consumed kWh.

Identify significant uses

The goal is not only to rank loads but to explain consumption and its drivers.

Quantify actions

Each measure should state technical savings, cost, risks, payback and verification method.

Track results

An unmeasured action is difficult to defend. Indicators are defined before implementation.
