how to lower commercial energy bills in 2026

In 2026, businesses can lower commercial energy bills by combining smart energy management systems, real-time monitoring and AI-driven optimisation. Start with energy audits and sub-metering to identify waste, then use LoRaWAN® meters, LED lighting upgrades, HVAC optimisation and PV + battery storage to cut peak demand. A cloud-based Energy Management System (EMS) helps track consumption, forecast loads, and automate savings while supporting CO₂ reduction, ESG reporting and compliance with the latest EU energy efficiency regulations.
