Reduce Electricity Costs in Your Factory

Measure. Identify. Verify.

Industrial energy efficiency means reducing the electricity a factory uses, or pays for, per unit of output, through demand management, power factor correction, eliminating phantom loads and better scheduling. Tech OVN's approach is measurement-led: Titan Class 0.5S meters on every distribution board and major load identify where energy is wasted, then verify each fix with continuous M&V data.

You can't reduce what you don't measure. Tech OVN's energy efficiency system puts a smart meter on every circuit, identifies the specific sources of energy waste, and continuously verifies that your efficiency measures are working — turning energy from an uncontrollable overhead into a manageable, reducible cost.

Six Levers to Reduce Energy Consumption

Every facility has energy waste hidden in plain sight. These are the six most common savings opportunities that circuit-level metering exposes.

Demand Management

On most Indian HT and LT-industrial tariffs the demand charge is billed on your highest 15-minute demand of the month (subject to a minimum percentage of contract demand), and demand above contract demand attracts a penalty. Titan tracks the 15-minute demand window in real time and alerts before a block sets a new monthly peak or crosses your contract demand. Stagger heavy loads, shift non-critical processes to off-peak hours, and cut demand charges without reducing production.

Power Factor Correction

Poor power factor attracts penalties from DISCOMs and wastes transformer capacity. Titan measures real-time PF per circuit, identifies the worst offenders, and helps you place and size capacitor banks where they'll have the biggest impact, rather than only at the incomer.

Phantom Load Elimination

Equipment running outside production hours — compressors, chillers, lighting, exhaust fans — is energy you pay for with nothing to show for it. Runtime analysis and on/off event logging identify exactly which circuits run when they shouldn't.

Schedule Optimisation

Overlay production schedules with energy consumption profiles. Identify which shifts and processes are least energy-efficient. Quantify the impact of process changes before and after implementation.

Motor & Compressor Efficiency

Degrading motors draw more current for the same work. Harmonics analysis and power factor trending per motor circuit can reveal efficiency degradation well before failure — enabling planned replacement rather than emergency repair.

Post-Retrofit Verification

Installed VFDs, LED lighting, or new compressors? Titan provides continuous M&V data proving the energy savings are real and sustained — not just a one-month improvement that fades.

How to Reduce Energy Consumption — Step by Step

A practical energy saving roadmap from first meter to verified savings.

  1. 1

    Install meters on every distribution board and major load — split-core CTs with Titan Audit for a survey, or permanent CTs with Titan

  2. 2

    Connect to the Energy Intelligence Platform for automated baseline and load profiling

  3. 3

    Identify the biggest energy waste sources from the dashboard

  4. 4

    Implement demand management, schedule changes, and PF correction based on data

  5. 5

    Track savings continuously — the same meters that found the waste verify the fix

Energy Saving Solutions for Industry

Energy saving solutions tailored to each industry's load profile and tariff structure.

Manufacturing & Production

Motor loads, compressors, furnaces, HVAC, compressed air systems. Demand management and schedule optimisation are usually the first levers.

Commercial Buildings

HVAC, lighting, elevators, common areas. Tenant-level sub-metering identifies who uses what and incentivises efficiency.

Data Centres

PUE tracking, cooling efficiency, UPS losses, and IT vs. facility load separation. At data-centre scale, even small improvements are worth measuring.

Warehousing & Cold Chain

Refrigeration compressor efficiency, door-open energy loss quantification, lighting schedules. Temperature-correlated energy analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about reducing electricity costs, energy efficiency systems, and ROI.

Savings come from demand management, schedule optimisation, power factor correction, and phantom load elimination. How much you save depends on your current energy practices, tariff structure, and equipment mix.
It depends on your tariff, demand charges, power factor and how much waste the metering uncovers, so we do not quote a standard figure. Enter your own bill figures in the Energy Audit ROI Calculator to model the numbers for your site.
No. Titan Audit uses split-core CTs that clamp around live conductors — no shutdown, no disconnection. For permanent installations, Titan uses standard CTs installed during planned maintenance windows.
Tech OVN's energy efficiency system complements your BMS. Titan meters provide deeper energy analytics — harmonics, power factor per circuit, demand trending, CO₂ — that many BMS energy modules don't capture. Data integrates via Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP or MQTT.
Your electricity bill tells you the total cost. It doesn't tell you which machine, which shift, which floor, or which process consumed the energy. Circuit-level sub-metering turns a single number into actionable intelligence — the difference between knowing the total and knowing where to cut.
Yes. Start with Titan Audit on your 5–10 largest loads. Identify the quick wins, prove the ROI, then expand to full facility coverage. The Energy Intelligence Platform scales from 1 meter to thousands.
