The Challenge
Many industrial facilities face persistently high energy operating costs but lack the data needed to identify where energy is being wasted. Without real‑time energy consumption data, inefficient assets and processes remain hidden, and performance issues are often discovered too late to prevent losses.
The Solution
Spartan Controls implemented an Energy Management Information System (EMIS) as a core component of the organization’s continuous improvement strategy. The EMIS provides real‑time monitoring of energy consumption across assets and processes, enabling early detection of poor performance and actionable performance reporting.
The solution supports informed decision‑making by identifying, prioritizing, and justifying energy‑reduction initiatives. Complemented by policy development, training and awareness, audits, and project implementation support, the EMIS establishes a structured, sustainable approach to ongoing energy management and optimization.

The Value
The EMIS‑driven energy management program delivered clear, quantifiable results:
- 5–15% reduction in total site energy usage
- Over £15 million in cumulative energy savings as part of a broader energy‑reduction program
- Improved energy intensity, supporting top‑quartile performance benchmarks
- Stronger business cases for energy projects, accelerating implementation and ROI
- Sustained performance improvement, enabled by continuous monitoring and reporting
