The new Forecast function in the Energy Management Service makes predictive energy management easier than ever before. No complex setup, no long waiting times—just one click is all it takes to receive accurate consumption forecasts. In this post, we’ll guide you step by step through activating the feature, understanding the forecasts, and turning them into real value for your organization.

Why Forecasts Matter

Energy is no longer just a line item on the budget—it has become a strategic factor. Companies are under pressure to control costs while also operating more sustainably. Knowing your current consumption is important, but being able to anticipate future developments provides a decisive advantage. The Forecast function gives you more than numbers; it provides a foundation for smarter decisions. You can identify peak loads before they occur, plan budgets with greater precision and manage infrastructure more efficiently.

Step 1: Activate Forecast

Step 2: Understand the Forecasts

One of the most powerful aspects is the ability to compare forecasts with historical data. This makes it easy to spot deviations, recurring patterns and long-term shifts in consumption behavior.

Tips for Interpretation

A forecast is only useful if it is interpreted correctly. Pay close attention to the color-coded peaks, which indicate periods of higher demand and potentially higher costs. If you notice that certain times consistently show increased loads, you can proactively adjust operations—for example, by rescheduling production runs or using energy storage systems. Seasonal fluctuations also become more transparent: heating and cooling periods are clearly reflected in the curves, helping you plan maintenance or investments more effectively.

More Than Just Numbers

Forecast is not simply another tool that visualizes data. It is an instrument that enables proactive action. Imagine being aware of an upcoming peak load. Instead of being caught off guard, you can take measures in advance—shifting processes, activating alternative energy sources or deliberately reducing consumption. What begins as a prediction quickly becomes a competitive advantage, allowing you to stay ahead of challenges rather than reacting to them after the fact.

From Prediction to Performance

With just one click, you gain access to accurate forecasts that help you reduce costs, use resources more efficiently, and operate more sustainably. The Forecast function makes energy management not only simpler but smarter, laying the foundation for a future in which planning is proactive rather than reactive.
