Price Optimization for German Food and Beverage Company

15% Reduced Energy Costs
NUS optimized non-commodity prices for a food and beverage company resulting in annual savings.
Optimizing grid tariff results in a 15 percent reduction in client annual energy costs.
In Germany, a food and beverage manufacturer engaged NUS Consulting Group to help analyze and identify possible opportunities to reduce its non-commodity charges โ i.e., network charges, feed-in tariffs, renewable obligations, sustainability charges, etc. As with most other developed markets, the German market has many complex non-commodity charges applied to industrial consumersโ energy invoices.
The client maintained sites in several grid areas and delivery levels in Germany. Presently, approximately 800 different grid companies are listed in Germany, acting in specific regions with published delivery power tariffs.
A detailed analysis of one of the clientโs larger siteโs invoice and interval data determined the possibility of reducing grid costs by submitting an application to the local grid company. The application was to move to a special tariff that had certain specific requirements relating to summer-winter peak demand usage. After reviewing the application, the grid operator agreed with NUSโs analysis that the client met all of the requirements and approved the tariff change.
As a result of NUSโs analysis and consultations with the grid operator, the client secured an annual savings of 15 percent per annum at the site generated from its reduction of non-commodity costs.
