Energy scan
Optimizing your energy use and finding your place on the grid
Our energy scan combines a smart questionnaire with detailed energy data to map your energy use, from peak usage and standby losses to your consumption patterns over time.
With growing pressure on the electricity grid, businesses face new challenges: electrification plans run into capacity limits, and waiting lists for grid upgrades are getting longer. We provide the clarity and control that you need to make informed decisions and stay ahead in the energy transition.
Through our structured approach, you get tailored advice, concrete saving opportunities, and an indication of the subsidies that could help you take your business to the next level.

Fill in our smart questionnaire
We start with a targeted intake that maps your company’s buildings, processes, and future energy needs. You’ll answer practical questions about your building type, size and energy label, types of equipment, electricity usage, current and planned EV charging, production shifts and growth expectations. This input helps us assess your energy mix, identify potential bottlenecks, and evaluate the potential of your grid connection.
-
Analyze the data
We combine your answers from the questionnaire with your actual energy data, including 15-minute interval readings. We analyze your load profile, identify peak usage, standby losses, and trends in electricity and gas consumption. We also assess contract types, grid capacity constraints and any prior experiences with congestion. This step helps us spot inefficiencies, match them with your operational plans, and develop strategies to optimize your energy use and grid connection.
-
Generate insights & recommendations
Based on the data, we deliver a clear overview of your current energy profile and key findings per connection. You receive tailored recommendations to reduce consumption, lower peak demand, and use your contracted capacity more efficiently. We include suggestions, provide estimates of savings and payback periods, and help your business operations become future proof.
-
Identify opportunities on how to move forward
We can help you translate the findings into practical next steps. This may include implementing low-effort, high-impact measures, exploring relevant subsidies, or linking the outcomes to your ESG report and broader sustainability efforts. Our goal is to ensure that insights lead to concrete action, driving progress that’s both measurable and aligned with your business priorities and strategic goals.
The results of the energy scan
Cost savings and efficiency
The energy scan helps uncover where your business is wasting energy and money. By identifying inefficiencies, unnecessary losses, peak consumption patterns, it reveals clear opportunities to cut energy costs through smarter use and targeted improvements.
Regulatory readiness
The energy scan positions your business to meet growing environmental regulations with confidence. By lowering energy-related emissions and improving efficiency, you take proactive steps toward compliance with sustainability standards like the CSRD.
Future proof
Optimized energy systems make businesses more resilient and better prepared for growing grid congestion. By reducing unnecessary energy strain, you enhance equipment performance, extend asset lifespan, and minimize unexpected downtime and maintenance costs.

Want to know more about our energy scan?
Real energy impact starts with insight. We help businesses take control, making operations more efficient and future-ready.
Why is an energy scan important for your business?
The energy scan helps address grid congestion, rising energy costs, and electrification demands. With delays for grid upgrades, optimising existing connections is critical. The scan identifies inefficiencies, standby losses, and peak usage patterns that can lead to many saving opportunities. Through planning for EV charging, solar installations, or facility expansions by assessing capacity, it can help deliver actionable results for your business.
How is this energy scan different from a standard energy audit?
The energy scan uses high-frequency data, such as interval consumption values, to provide quicker and more targeted insights than a traditional audit. It focuses on peak usage, standby reduction, and load optimization. Manufacturers, real estate operators, and retailers benefit from immediate savings potential, while companies in congested grid areas, such as Gelderland, gain strategic advantages for capacity management and growth planning.
When should you conduct an energy scan?
You should run an energy scan before any expansion that requires new equipment or increases electricity demand. Businesses with high electricity bills, capacity issues, or upcoming grid connection contract renewals are urged to act immediately, while annual scans can be useful for forward-thinking companies that want to track efficiency improvements and uncover new saving opportunities. Finally, conducting an energy scan can help you compile necessary data for regulations like the CSRD and ESPR.
What are typical opportunities that companies discover through the energy scan?
The energy scan identifies inefficiencies, unnecessary losses, and peak consumption patterns that drive up costs. It pinpoints ways to optimize contracted capacity and manage load profiles, crucial with long waits for grid upgrades. For businesses planning for electrification or EV charging, it could help confirm whether current grid connections can support growth. The results of the scan additionally demonstrate saving opportunities and recommendations for further optimization.
What makes our energy scan and SaaS model unique?
Our Sustainability as a Service model transforms a one-off scan into a continuous optimization program. We analyze data, adjust measures, and identify new capacity opportunities. The result is measurable progress, lower costs, reduced environmental impact, and a business that’s positioned to thrive in the energy transition.
