As energy prices across Germany remain volatile and grid charges grow more complex,businesses are searching for way to reduce costs without sacrificing performance.The key to reducing energy costs isnt’t cutting quality or operations but it’s using your existing energy more efficiently.

That’s where energy data comes in.

More specifically:data that’s visible,understandable and actionable.At Apollo Green Soloutions,we help businesses achieve exactly that through our energy monitoring platform,Aenergi.It’s more thatn a dashboard ,it’s a tool that translates real time energy data into measurable financial impact.

From Passive Data to Active Decisions

Most energy dashboards are built to show what’s happening but Anergi is built to show what matters and what to do about it.With only a few clicks,businesses can view:

· Live consumption and production,by site or by device

· PV output compared to grid import/export

· Real-time alerts and cost projections

· Historical trends and performance KPIs

This visibility alone helps companies catch problems they didn’t know they had:equipment left at night,machines starting at peak times,or consumption patterns that don’t match operations.But the real benefit isn’t just seeing data ,it’s using it.

Indetifying and Avoiding Peak Load Charges

One of the most significant energy cost for German businesses is tied to peak demand,the highest short term draw in billing cycle.These charges can often make up a significant part of a business’s monthly nergy bill,especially in energy intensive sectors like manufacturing or logistics.Aenergi helps by:

· Displaying live load charts

· Sending notifications

· Highlighting which equipment contributes to those peaks

After analyzing their consumption data with Apollo’s Aenergi platform , a mid sized manufacturing company identified two-high load processes that consistently ran during peak grid hours.By rescheduling those operations to earlier in the day,they reduced their monthly demand charges by approximately 17% saving around 720 euros per month,based on historical billing data.

Increasing PV Self-Consumption

For businesses with rooftop solar,every kilowatt-hour used on-site is cheaper than buying from the grid ,but many companies lose value by exporting excess energy instead of adapting their usage to match solar production.Aenergi helps optimize their balance by:

· Tracking solar generation in real time

· Showing live comparisons between PV output and load

· Indetifying windows of opportunity on-site usage

A platform built for Ongoing Savings

What ties all these cases together is one thing : clarity .With the right information in the right format ,teams can make smarter decisions,avoid unnecessary costs,and continuously improve their energy use.With forecasting,multi-site comparisons,automated reporting,and ISO-ready documentation.

Energy Trading for Businesses

In today’s electricity market,prices are no longer fixed ,instead they are determined on a hourly basisbasis through energy exchange,where supply and demand constantly shift.This the heart of energy trading ,a system that allows electricity to be proced dynamically,similirar to stocks.For businesses this means that the cost of electricity at 10:00 AM might be completely different from the cost at 6:00 PM.These fluctuations offer an opportunity by adjusting operations to consume energy during low-price periods,businesses can significantly reduce their costs.

The Aenergi platform by Apollo Green Soloutions gives companies direct access to this opportunity through the dedicated Market Price section .This tool shows live and firecasted electricity prices from the energy exchange,allowing users to monitor how prices are forming throughout the day.Unlike traditional systems that only show energy use,Aenergi combines consumption data with market pricing in businesses decide when to run energy intensive processes based not just on their needs,but also on what energy costs in real time.Wether you’re managing production,EV charging ,or HVAC systems,Aenergi helps you align your nergy use with real-time market conditions,not just track your consumption
