Peak demand is in your cost per part

Peak demand charges, power factor penalties, and voltage instability add cost to production, and your OEM customers keep pushing carbon targets onto their suppliers. MEP measures both, models the fixes, and holds no tie to any equipment vendor, so finance and procurement have numbers to work from.

Where the cost hides

Under GDMTH, when the plant draws power matters as much as how much it draws. MEP measures before it recommends.

Peaks are set by paint, weld, and stamping

Paint shops, welding and stamping lines, robotics, compressed air, and HVAC create sharp peaks that a monthly bill never explains, and low power factor adds a penalty on top.

Evidence to connectkW by shift, peak timestamp, power factor

A voltage sag becomes scrap

Sags and harmonics from large motor and drive loads threaten robotics and precision equipment. A sag that trips a cell or corrupts a paint batch costs production and material, and in just-in-time supply it costs the shipment window.

Evidence to connectEvent logs, scrap, downtime, protection data

Carbon has become commercial

OEM scorecards tie emissions and renewable sourcing to whether a supplier wins the next program. Most firms offering answers also sell the hardware, which shapes the recommendation.

Evidence to connectScope 2 baseline, scorecard targets, program dates

What we measure

Where a measure improves cost, continuity, or the carbon position, MEP models it and writes a vendor-ready specification so procurement can run competitive bids. MEP never sells or installs the system.

Demand and power factor

Build a measured load baseline and isolate the peak demand and power factor cost drivers inside the CFE billing structure.

First look12 months of bills, interval data, production calendar

Largest consuming systems

Evaluate compressed air, HVAC, and process loads against ASHRAE-style methodology, from generation and controls through distribution and end use.

First lookPressure profile, compressor sequence, equipment list

Voltage quality

Where the plant faces voltage quality risk, MEP assesses it directly rather than assuming it away, and correlates recorded events with line trips, control faults, and scrap.

First lookSingle-line diagrams, disturbance logs, critical equipment

Solar and storage economics

Model yield, tariff interaction, and return against your actual load profile, including payback, IRR, and the choice between owning the asset and contracting it.

First lookRoof or ground area, structural information, load profile

Who approves what

Identified savings and savings verified under M&V are kept separate throughout, so finance books only what has been proven.

Figures shown are for one facility with its own baseline and tariff. Identified savings have not been verified under M&V. MEP does not guarantee savings.

Review the depth of the deliverable, then speak with MEP about the facility, the decision, and the appropriate next step.

Facility energy assessment

To start, MEP needs your tariff classification, the plant location, the operating schedule, and the decision in front of you. Bills, single-line diagrams, load inventories, and metering data are requested after the first conversation, under NDA.

after-tax IRR, verified over 12 months under IPMVP

A Tier 1 supplier in the Bajío ran efficiency, onsite solar, and battery storage together: about USD 142,000 in annual savings, a 320 kW cut in peak demand, a 5.5-year simple payback, and about 1,140 tCO2e avoided, roughly a 23% cut in facility Scope 2 under GHG Protocol market-based methodology.

These outcomes reflect that plant's tariff class, load profile, and baseline. Individual results vary by facility, and MEP does not guarantee specific savings.

Feedback from operating and procurement teams

Organizations remain confidential. Verification contacts are available during qualified evaluation.

The energy audit recommendations were practical and supported by solid financial and operational rationale, making them easy to evaluate and act upon.

Lori C. Procurement Manager, Global Auto Parts Supplier

The energy study was very well done and delivered real results. The team took the time to understand how our plant actually operates and provided clear, practical recommendations.

Ismael H. Plant Manager, Global Mining Company

The support we received on our Power Purchase Agreement was excellent. The team conducted a detailed and professional review.

Héctor V. Plant Manager, Global Battery Manufacturer

MEP will show you where cost and risk sit at this automotive plant before you commit to anything. Four fields to start.

  • Reply from a senior advisor, not a sales team
  • NDA available before any document is shared
  • MEP sells no equipment and takes no supplier commissions

Facility data is treated as confidential. An NDA is available before any document changes hands.
