In many industrial plants in Mexico, energy is managed reactively. Costs are reviewed when the budget is already under pressure, and projects are executed in isolation. To change this dynamic, Mexico Energy Partners developed Planta en Control, a subscription service designed to achieve sustained savings of 10–20 percent in energy costs over the medium term.

What is Planta en Control

Planta en Control combines energy monitoring, data analysis, and management of a portfolio of savings projects. Instead of delivering a one-off study that remains in a report, we accompany your plant month by month, focused on results and decision-making.

How the service operates

1. Plant monitoring
   We integrate your site's consumption information, bills, existing meters, and, when needed, new metering points to understand the actual load profile: shifts, demand peaks, and critical equipment such as compressors, refrigeration systems, ovens, HVAC systems, and motors.

2. Periodic management reports
   We send a weekly or biweekly executive summary with the main deviations and two to three quick recommendations. Each month, we deliver an energy performance report with consumption, cost, and energy intensity indicators, comparing against an agreed baseline.

3. Pipeline of savings opportunities
   All detected opportunities are consolidated into a structured project portfolio, with status: idea, analysis, validation, approved, and implemented. For each measure, we estimate investment (CAPEX), savings in kWh and in pesos, payback period, and priority.

4. Monthly Energy Coach session
   A Mexico Energy Partners consultant meets virtually with your plant team, including operations, maintenance, and HSE, to review results, prioritize actions, and follow up on commitments.

Differences versus a traditional audit

A traditional energy audit is a one-time diagnostic. Planta en Control is a continuous management model that seeks to maintain discipline around energy, ensure that identified opportunities are actually implemented, and facilitate dialogue between operations, maintenance, HSE, and finance.

Benefits for your plant

• Greater visibility into where and how energy is consumed.

• Objective project prioritization with a focus on profitability.

• Less internal burden to coordinate efficiency initiatives.

• Measurable, documented progress for management and headquarters.

If your plant has a significant energy spend and wants to turn it into a source of competitiveness, Planta en Control is a natural next step after a study, or a starting point for a serious energy strategy. At Mexico Energy Partners, we can begin with a three-month pilot to demonstrate savings potential and build a 12 to 24-month work plan.
