How businesses can use electricity generated from renewable sources: options and solutions

At a time when energy efficiency and sustainability have become major issues for businesses, it is essential to take a considered and strategic approach to optimising your electricity supply. We recommend analysing your needs, examining possible solutions and identifying renewable energy opportunities.

Analyse your company's energy supply situation

Before making any decisions about your company's electricity supply, it is essential to carry out an in-depth analysis of your current situation. This first phase will give you a better understanding of your energy needs, your consumption habits and the specifics of your current electricity contract.

Step 1 - Examine your current electricity supplier's contract
Step 2 - Analyse the specifics of your electricity consumption
Step 3 - Analyse your company's renewable electricity production potential
Step 4 - Anticipate the company's changing electricity needs
Tailor-made solutions for your energy supply

Having examined all the elements relating to your consumption and your needs, you are now in a position to consider different solutions adapted to your specific situation. Whether you opt for a renewable electricity contract, invest in in-house production or get involved in collaborative projects, each solution has its advantages and can help improve your energy efficiency.

Solution 1 - Renewable electricity supply contract
Solution 2 - Integration of in-house electricity generation
Solution 3 - Long-term electricity supply contracts
Solution 4: Local or regional energy communities

Optimising your company's electricity consumption

In addition to contractual and production solutions, it is advisable to optimise your electricity consumption. Here are some areas to explore:

  • implementing electricity-saving measures
  • consider electricity storage to regulate the consumption profile and reduce peak consumption, as well as the associated network costs
  • adopting the ‘peak shaving’ strategy (shifting energy consumption during periods of low total power in order to avoid load peaks) to reduce electricity demand during peak hours by adapting production processes.
