Centralize electric bill information, including rates, taxes and utility concession agreements. Update consumer unit record sets (BTS, Buildings, and others). Make electric power consumption transparent on a corporate level. Help survey electric power environmental indicators. Objectives Facilitate the generation of specialized and managerial reports (by unit and cost center), as well as run simulations and technical/economical analyses. Provide up front resource demand planning. Identify potential units for electric power spending reduction. Define actions for the responsible use of this valuable natural resource and reduce consumption. Main Benefits Reduction of electric power spending by providing greater control over consumption, renegotiating agreements and identifying billing errors. Updating record sets of thousands of consumer units. Renegotiation of energy contracts accounted for average savings in the range of 20 percent. Greater operational efficiency. Service providing with SW support Comparative analyses between units Studies to eliminate fines Monthly billing audits ASSOCIATED SERVICES Contract optimization studies Managerial report generation Technical and commercial consulting services for relationships with utility concession companies and regulatory agencies Other ongoing projects CPqD has worked conjointly with electric power distributors on several projects, and created proposals for new projects in the following areas: • Smart Grids Renewable and alternative sources of energy Electric Vehicles Management action for meeting demand Smart Cities Smart Homes Sustainable Building, efficiency in buildings for increased energy Thanks! www.cpqd.com.br
