Modern energy management software must not only make energy flows visible, but actively control them. The article outlines which features are essential today, how automated control enables savings from day one, and which solution is particularly well suited to mid-sized companies.

2026 will bring noticeable relief for companies in terms of electricity and gas costs, but many of these measures are temporary. Learn which energy policy changes are ahead, why price volatility will continue to increase and why companies need to make their energy supply more flexible in the long term.

This article shows which energy management systems genuinely move companies forward — from classic monitoring tools to intelligent auto-pilot solutions. We compare five leading EnMS providers and explain which functions are essential for transparency, efficiency and active optimisation. The conclusion: modern systems that automatically control energy flows deliver the greatest benefit.

Hardly any other cost factor shapes German industry as strongly as the price of electricity. For years, companies have warned about internationally uncompetitive energy prices and the risk of losing competitiveness. With the planned industrial electricity price, the German government aims to provide relief from 2026 onwards. But is this subsidy really the right approach? A closer look shows that the concept remains controversial – and raises fundamental questions about the future of Germany’s energy policy.

If the expansion of renewable energies slows down, electricity prices in Germany could rise by up to 25% by 2045. A scenario analysis shows how this would weaken competitiveness and the country’s attractiveness as an industrial location.
