The MEP Virtual Energy Manager is management oversight for electricity cost, plant performance, procurement exposure, reliability, and emissions across every facility. One record explains the variance, names the owner, and tracks the action to closure.
One facility is enough to begin. Qualified requests receive an initial response within 1 business day. NDA available before data review.
The invoice arrives after the operating event
Monthly totals confirm cost after the conditions that created the variance have already passed.
Production changeSchedule or output changes
Demand peakA short event sets the maximum
Usage driftBase load or runtime moves
Billing changeA charge or adjustment appears
Invoice postedThe total is now historical
A monthly total cannot explain when the variance began, what caused it, or which team can correct it.
The same variance appears differently in four functions
Billing and contract records show what was charged. Meter and interval data show when exposure occurred. Operations logs show what changed at the facility. Finance sees what requires action. Without a shared record, each function explains a different event.
Evidence to connectInvoice, interval data, shift log, budget tolerance
More meters do not guarantee better decisions
Plants often collect data without assigning a question, an owner, a response threshold, or a closure process. A load trend is not a performance indicator until it is tied to output, schedule, and equipment state.
Evidence to connectNamed user, decision, frequency, action threshold
Portfolio systems fail at the handoff
Metering architecture, controls, IT security, data ownership, calibration, and reporting must be settled before oversight can scale from one plant to a portfolio. Most platforms are bought before any of that exists.
Evidence to connectProtocol, data owner, retention, validation, governance
One view connects cost, operations, and accountable action
Real-time operations, management metrics, and accountable exceptions remain on the same record.
Illustrative platform view. Demonstration data does not represent client performance.
Four modules support one management record
Each module connects a technical or commercial signal to an owner, a decision, and evidence for closure. Observe, explain, quantify, act.
Cost and billing
Every invoice validated against the meter interval and the contract, so total period cost, delivered cost per kWh, and savings versus basic supply are one defensible figure rather than three estimates.
OutputValidated bill, explained variance, named owner, tracked action
Capacity management
Demand tracked against the monthly maximum with critical-hour probability and pre-agreed response playbooks, so a short event on a hot afternoon does not reset the billed peak for the whole cycle.
OutputWatch and warning thresholds, headroom, action
Clean energy and carbon
Clean energy certificate position, Scope 2 on location and market methods, and the evidence pack behind each figure, maintained for investor, customer, and regulatory reporting.
Base, high-market, solar plus storage, and efficiency plus hedge scenarios modeled on the facility's own load, so a capital decision is tested against the record rather than a vendor's assumptions.
OutputAnnual cost, savings, capex, tCO2e per scenario
Illustrative platform view. Demonstration data does not represent client performance.
Each function receives the decision it needs
A shared management record connects plant events, commercial exposure, and financial approval.

Prove control before expanding the data estate
A focused 90-day build establishes the baseline, thresholds, owners, and monthly closure process. Start narrow. Expand only after the control logic and ownership work in practice.
Days 1 to 15, data map: bills, meters, owners, and gaps
Days 16 to 30, baseline: approved indicators and tolerance
Days 31 to 60, controls: bill tests, thresholds, and actions
Days 61 to 90, cadence: memo, owners, and monthly closure
Coverage1 site
to the enterprise, on one management record
Single-Site Oversight covers one facility or a limited meter group, with monthly review and a site management summary of bill, demand, intensity, and actions. Multi-Site Portfolio covers multiple plants and meter groups with monthly and interim review, benchmarking, a procurement calendar, and consolidated exceptions in a portfolio executive report. Enterprise Portfolio runs on an agreed data cadence with custom thresholds, escalation, higher-frequency review, and executive and board reporting.
The scope expands only after the operating cadence, data ownership, and management process are established. MEP is not tied to a platform, and the recommended architecture may reuse existing meters and systems where they are fit for purpose.
Start with one facility
MEP can determine whether a more detailed energy monitoring and management review is warranted. Useful starting information: the number of facilities and their locations in Mexico, and a known billing, operating, procurement, or reliability concern. Interval, meter, production, and contract data are requested after the first conversation. Qualified requests receive an initial response within 1 business day. NDA available before data review.

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.
