CASE STUDY
+17% YoY energy savings in production with an energy purchase strategy
In a volatile market, a frozen food manufacturer needed savings and cost predictability. We implemented a purchase strategy, scenarios and monitoring that reduced risk and delivered over 17% year-on-year savings.
Result
PLN 13M saved in 20 months
(2023: PLN 2.5M | 2024: PLN 10.5M)

Cost model & simulations: we built a monthly cost model to support budget control and spend planning.
Procurement strategy: we implemented a long-term energy procurement strategy.
Ongoing monitoring: we tracked positions and key market indicators to react to changing conditions.
Tools rollout: we implemented tools to monitor procurement execution and strategy status.
Results
Budget stability
Monthly simulations and ongoing monitoring improved spend planning and budget predictability.
Savings
The implemented energy procurement strategy delivered over 17% year-on-year savings.
Risk reduction
Clear decision rules and regular monitoring reduced exposure to price volatility.
