The disruption and ongoing economic uncertainty caused by Covid-19 mean that it’s more important than ever to manage and reduce your business costs. Energy is among the biggest cost areas for companies along with people, product costs, facilities, and equipment. But it’s the only one that is not monitored and managed carefully.

Businesses are often struggling to understand precisely how, when and where energy is being used across their site or sites, making it difficult to know where their energy costs really lie, or the best opportunities to improve energy and operational performance. On top of this, many businesses don’t know how to achieve cost efficiencies without jeopardising carbon reduction targets or spending large amounts of money.

With our sister company, Centrica Business Solutions, Bord Gáis Energy can offer a suite of end-to-end energy management solutions that help Irish businesses remain in control of their energy, turn their carbon footprint into a source of competitive advantage, and inspire growth.

Energy Insight is an innovative wireless energy monitoring solution that gives your energy-using devices the ability to talk and tell you how much energy they’re using and when, how efficiently they’re operating, and even to alert you when something is about to go wrong.

It is a network of self-powered sensors which are attached to energy-using devices in a business. They communicate with a cloud-based analytics platform, PowerRadar, to deliver insights into energy usage, enabling customers to manage and reduce where possible energy consumption throughout their business, right down to device level.
