Energiewissen für Unternehmen

EMS (Energy Management System) is a decision layer that controls energy in real time — when to buy, when to use storage, when to clip peaks. It pays off where energy is a meaningful operating cost and consumption profile varies.

Typically 4–7 years. The exact payback depends on contracted power, consumption profile, tariff and whether you can join DSR / system services. For 200 kW+ sites with high variability, ROI under 5 years is common.

It's a system fee billed during 4 peak hours on business days. You can really lower it by shifting consumption out of those hours — an EMS does this automatically; manually it's only partial. Often the fastest-growing line on your invoice.

Yes, but not for every company. Self-consumption is what matters — whether you use energy when the panels produce it. PV alone, without storage or profile shifting, often doesn't pay back fast. With storage + EMS the model changes fundamentally.

ETS pushes up energy prices via the CO₂ cost embedded in wholesale prices. ETS2 (from 2027) will hit transport and heating fuels. Companies that don't actively manage energy are more exposed — these aren't isolated price hikes, they're a trend.

First response within 24 business hours. The full analysis with potential calculations (peak shaving, storage, DSR, tariff optimisation) usually takes 3–7 business days, depending on data completeness from the DSO.

Programs supporting ESS for businesses are launching, but details change quickly. As part of the analysis we also check funding paths your company may qualify for.
