What's on the table in energy?

Energy is the cost line that moved most since 2022 — and the one ML optimizes without capex. Two inputs give your annual spend; the slider shows the optimization range.

Inputs

Annual electricity consumption (MWh)

A mid-size plant runs 5,000–50,000 MWh/yr

Average tariff (€/MWh)

Blended 2026 EU industrial tariffs commonly 100–200 €/MWh

Expected reduction (%) · 10

Setpoint/sequence optimization typically 5–15%; published ML results reach −20%

The math. Annual spend = MWh × €/MWh. Savings = spend × reduction%. The reduction slider spans the published range for ML setpoint and sequence optimization.

Context: energy-management programs (ISO 50001 style) typically capture 5–15%; ML setpoint/sequence optimization results reach around −20% on optimized lines (vendor-reported).
