Energy Audit: Are You Paying Too Much for Electricity and Grid Fees?

Energihuset has developed a special tool that provides insight into the exact cost of your electricity consumption, hour by hour throughout the year. Many electricity customers find that invoices are difficult to understand, and many pay more than what was agreed with the supplier.

In this article, we show you how to find out if you are paying too much for your electricity and network rental, and how we can help you reduce your costs.

Electricity – easier than you think

No matter which supplier you use, the electricity is the same. Everyone has an electricity meter that records accurate usage every hour. So why do over 90% of customers pay more than they should, according to their contract?

With our tool, we can calculate the actual electricity consumption hour by hour and compare it to the purchase price for the relevant hours. This gives us the net cost for the period, so we can see if you have paid more than agreed.

Energy mapping involves a detailed analysis of the energy consumption of a building. This includes a review of technical systems such as heating, ventilation, lighting and cooling, as well as an assessment of the insulation capacity of the building envelope. The purpose is to identify energy waste and propose specific measures that can reduce consumption.

The mapping gives owners and managers a clear understanding of where energy is going, and what can be done to use it more efficiently. Often, a simple adjustment to existing systems, or investment in more energy-efficient solutions, can yield major savings.

Management of electricity contracts

Some customers have a more complex electricity product, where all or part of their consumption is managed. In that case, you can't put your finger on a direct mispricing, but you can say something about the quality of the management if it turns out that you are paying significantly more than the spot price over time.

Management should aim to beat the spot price. It should also be noted that many electricity companies that offer management require the customer to commit to a certain number of years, in order for the electricity company to have predictability. This is at best a sales ploy on the part of the electricity companies.

A well-organized management agreement has a few months' notice period, after which the customer either receives a gain or a loss as a result of the electricity supplier having sold the position.

How is an Energy Audit Conducted?

An Energy Audit is conducted in several steps.

First, our experts collect data on the building's energy consumption, technical installations, and operational procedures.

Subsequently, a physical and detailed inspection of the building is performed.

These data are then analyzed to identify patterns and deviations that may indicate inefficient energy consumption. This includes evaluating heating and cooling systems, lighting, ventilation, and the use of electrical appliances.

Internet rental – understanding the regulations

Ensuring the lowest energy costs requires in-depth knowledge of grid leases and the regulations surrounding them. At Energihuset, we have the expertise needed to optimize grid leases for your company.

Cost-effective energy audit

Many companies offer energy audits with a “no cure, no pay” model, where savings are shared between customer and supplier. Energihuset offers a different approach: We charge a fixed cost of NOK 15,000 per metering point for a year’s audit. If we do not find savings that exceed this amount, we credit the invoice.

Conclusion

For a reasonable cost of 15,000 ,- your company can receive a thorough energy audit that ensures you are not paying more than you should for electricity and network rental. Take control of your energy costs today.
