Energy-Intensive Companies
Solutions for energy-intensive companies where energy is a critical operational cost: efficiency, self-consumption and documented savings exceeding 30%, treating the energy bill as an operational variable.
Energy for energy-intensive companies: overview
Captia Energy works with energy-intensive companies where energy is a critical operational cost that decides product margin. Our approach combines three levers. First, energy efficiency: studying how, when and where energy is used, set against real activity, to surface measures such as load shifting between tariff periods, idle consumption and poorly matched contracted power. Second, self-generation: industrial solar installations sized on the real load profile, with surplus management and integrated monitoring. In this segment we work with documented savings exceeding 30%, verified on the real measurement of each installation. Third, connected energy management: continuous measurement of consumption and generation integrated with operational data, so every measure is verified against a baseline instead of a commercial estimate. For automating high-frequency operational decisions on that same data, see Captia AI for intensive operations. Projects start with an energy situation study and an impact-ranked plan.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as an energy-intensive company?
- One where energy is a critical operational cost, not just another overhead line. This applies to sectors with continuous high electrical or thermal demand, where a change in energy prices directly affects product margin. In these businesses, managing energy means managing competitiveness.
- Where do you start reducing energy costs at such high consumption levels?
- With measurement. Before proposing any action you need to know how consumption is distributed across processes, shifts and tariff periods, matched against real activity. Measures are then ranked by impact: operational ones without investment first, then equipment actions and self-generation, each with its estimated return.
- Can self-consumption cover a relevant share of intensive demand?
- It can cover a significant share, though rarely all of it, which is exactly why sizing matters. At intensive consumption levels, every percentage point of self-produced energy translates into large absolute savings, and the installation is designed on the real load profile to maximise direct self-consumption.
- How do you verify that promised savings actually happen?
- With continuous measurement, not estimates. Connected monitoring records consumption and generation before and after each action, so the effect of every measure is verified on real operational data. That is what allows us to talk about documented savings instead of theoretical catalogue percentages.
