Transform Rising Energy Costs into Savings with Real-Time Intelligence and Panoramic Power

Transform Rising Energy Costs into Savings with Real-Time Intelligence and Panoramic Power

New Zealand businesses are grappling with skyrocketing costs and energy inefficiencies in today’s turbulent market. But there’s good news on the horizon—hydro storage has surged significantly in the last week, offering a welcome shift.

 Panoramic Powers End-to-End smart energy management solutions

At Total Utilities, we’ve teamed up with Panoramic Power to provide innovative solutions that help you take advantage of these changes and optimise your energy management.

Panoramic Power delivers a comprehensive, cloud-based energy management solution with mobile app access, offering the most cost-effective option on the market. With rapid ROI and customisable dashboards and reports, it’s tailored to meet your unique needs.

Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits of our powerful energy intelligence solution:

1. Illuminate and Eliminate Energy Waste

Many businesses are unaware of where they use energy within their plant or facility as utility bills don’t provide information relative to opening hours or production runs. Plus the data on the invoice is looking in the rear view mirror. Panoramic Power’s advanced monitoring technology provides real-time data relative to production schedules and operating hours to easily highlight the cost of energy waste.

2. Upgrade to Real-Time Energy Intelligence

Traditional energy monitoring often falls short as it cannot measure key devices and equipment. Our solution offers real-time insights into every piece of equipment, allowing you to monitor performance and prevent unnecessary downtime. You can track the hours your equipment runs, and immediately identify if it starts drawing more current than is expected. This allows for preventative maintenance and a proactive approach that ensures any issues are detected and resolved before they impact your operations.

3. Capitalise on Energy-Saving Opportunities

Missing out on energy-saving opportunities can be costly. Panoramic Power’s system sends timely alerts about potential savings and efficiency improvements, enabling you to act swiftly and reduce your energy costs. Stay ahead of the curve and maximise every opportunity to cut costs!

4. Implement Comprehensive Business Cases to Drive Change

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to implementing energy savings measures is inadequate data to build a comprehensive business case. Our continuous monitoring provides in-depth analysis of device level energy usage and cost, ensuring you have a complete understanding of your equipment’s running costs. This enables you to make informed decisions to enhance efficiency. 

5. Address Minor Inefficiencies Before They Escalate

Small inefficiencies can accumulate and lead to significant costs. Panoramic Power helps you pinpoint and address these issues early, preventing them from becoming major problems and ensuring ongoing cost savings.

At Total Utilities, we’re committed to finding innovative ways to help businesses like yours tackle rising energy costs. Our partnership with Panoramic Power offers you access to state-of-the-art energy intelligence technology that provides actionable insights and drives energy cost savings.

MD’s Take: Why Rethinking Waste Procurement Could Slash Your Business Costs

MD’s Take: Why Rethinking Waste Procurement Could Slash Your Business Costs

Jonathan Gardiner, Managing Director at Total Utilities, provides his perspective on why rethinking waste procurement is crucial for achieving cost savings and operational efficiency for your business.

As businesses strive to optimise their operations, waste management and procurement often don’t receive the attention they deserve. Yet, effective waste procurement is more than just a compliance requirement—it’s a strategic advantage.

I’ve seen firsthand how companies grapple with several challenges in this area, and addressing these issues is crucial for driving efficiency and cost savings.

Key Pain Points in Waste Procurement

  1. Rising Costs: Transport costs, waste disposal levies, and the cost of carbon liabilities are all on the rise. This financial pressure can strain budgets and affect profitability.
  2. Supplier-Favourable Contracts: Waste contracts often heavily favour suppliers. They may include clauses allowing for sudden increases in inflation, transport costs, and disposal charges, often with short notice and frequent adjustments.
  3. Contract Complexity: Many businesses struggle with the fine print of waste contracts. Understanding how these terms could impact your bottom line is crucial but can be challenging without the right expertise.

How Total Utilities Can Help

At Total Utilities, we specialise in transforming these challenges into opportunities for our clients:

  1. Market-Competitive Pricing: We leverage our extensive market knowledge to secure the best prices and identify waste solutions tailored to your specific needs.
  2. Favourable Contract Terms: Our team is skilled in negotiating waste supply contracts that protect your interests and ensure you’re not burdened by unexpected cost increases.
  3. Cost Reduction and Environmental Impact: By optimising your waste processes, we help you reduce costs and minimise the amount of waste sent to landfills, benefiting both your financials and the environment.
  4. Up-to-Date Insights: We keep a close eye on market trends and government policies, providing you with the latest advice and strategies to stay ahead of changes.
  5. Sustainability Focus: With our finger on the pulse of policy and procurement, we offer smart solutions to enhance your sustainability efforts and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet.
