We improve energy footprint and -performance through optimisation of clean, reliable and affordable energy assets.

Key Industry ChallengeS

We do for our clients what we do for ourselves.

We have invested more than $80m into embedded energy and monitoring systems that we own and operate. With extensive expertise in creating energy digital twins enabling the control and optimization of utilities, energy assets, and various significant energy users (SEUs), we ensure quality and operational standards are met while driving down cost.

Metering & IoT

Do you need to collect new data, or legacy data from your existing field systems, related to your metered utilities, energy assets, or significant energy users?

We can help: We securely access a wide range of utility meters and energy data sets through new installations or integrations with existing controllers and platforms.

We provide the full project lifecycle for data acquisition equipment and smart metering solutions.

You choose a cost model that best suits your financial strategy:

• Outright purchase:
  • All data acquisition equipment and smart metering solutions
  • Monthly service fee
• Data as a Service (DaaS):
  • EP invests in, owns, and operates the data acquisition equipment and smart metering solutions on your facility
  • Single monthly service fee

Benefits of DaaS

• Data availability through the data acquisition equipment and smart metering solutions owned and operated by EP
• Facilitated hosting and management of diverse data types including technical data, plant and machine-level data, and operational production data, allowing clients seamless access and utilisation without the burden of maintaining the underlying infrastructure.
• Data security through encryption and monitored gateways, offering scalability across applications, industries, and geographic locations.
• On-site and remote access to our centralised monitoring platform, with seamless integration into existing networks

Tariff & Billing Services

• EP provides tariff and billing services to minimise costs and financial risk
• We have expert regulatory knowledge and relationships with supply authorities
• ‘Pay as you save’ – we only charge for our services if disputes are successfully settled with authorities

System Asset Management

Do you have a need to drive down total ownership costs of one or many of your utilities, energy assets or significant energy users (SEUs)? Are these system’s complexity, operation and maintenance requirements, and diverse communication needs hampering your ability to drive down cost effectively and consistently?

We can help: We combine your data and our expertise to create energy- and thermodynamic digital twins to unlock peak performance for a wide range of utilities, energy assets and significant energy users:

Total Energy Ecosystem

Our holistic asset management services:

Energy Flow Optimisation

Balancing, controlling and optimising your energy supply and demand is complex, requiring data centralization and expert skills.

We are leaders in smart energy asset management, unlocking TLCC cost reduction and CO₂ avoidance through optimising your energy flow.

• We integrate all your supply and demand real-time data into a centralised monitoring and control platform.
• Our platform, based on Tridium Niagara technology, allows both EP and you to visualise, monitor, control (including load curtailment), and optimise your energy flow centrally.
• Real-time monitoring, alarms, and notifications detect issues or anomalies as they occur, allowing for rapid response and resolution.

We prioritise real-time data analytics and specialised reporting, driving optimised energy flow through impactful insights and specific KPIs focussed on Performance, Process Control (product quality and process effectiveness) and Operational Efficacy (O&M and behavioural):

Energy Consulting

We consult on your full energy balance, including all on-site utilities, energy assets, and SEUs (Significant Energy Users) with a focus on energy balance optimization and unlocking peak asset performance. We work closely with our EP Sustainability division to enable accurate sustainability data.

• We understand energy efficiency, performance optimisation, and total lifecycle cost management, and consult to drive down TLCC (Total Lifecycle Cost).
  We manage R1.3 billion+ Energy Partners-owned energy assets (Power, Heating, and Cooling), effectively and systematically defining and executing energy efficiency improvement initiatives and projects.
• M&V (Measurement and Verification) requirements are a cornerstone of our consultation service. We understand that any energy-efficiency project execution is only as successful as the M&V process followed to verify savings.
