EnergyElephant

Organisations use EnergyElephant to pull their energy data into one searchable place, where artificial intelligence analyses it. It is headquartered in Dublin with a smaller base in California, and it sells cloud-based software as a service for managing energy and the carbon that comes with it.

Energy data in one place

The platform builds an energy database from electricity, thermal fuel and transport fuel data, and it can also cover water. The company says it analyses this information and draws out insights into how a user can cut consumption, cost and carbon emissions. Setup takes only a few minutes, and no hardware is needed to get started.

The company says its dashboards act as an overview for senior managers, with the option to share them with site managers so that responsibility for action is spread through an organisation.

Carbon reporting across three scopes

EnergyElephant covers carbon and greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, including the Scope 3 emissions that are hardest to calculate. The company says it uses several recognised methodologies, including those of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, to give users an accurate basis for their figures.

Its reports are designed to meet international standards such as CSRD, ISO 50001 and B Corp. Waste and water are tracked alongside energy and carbon.

Energy security and climate risk

The company describes energy costs and security of supply as board-level concerns. It says finance teams struggle to predict budgets when prices are volatile, and that longer term climate events such as flooding, storms, heatwaves and water shortages add to the risk. EnergyElephant says its data, insights and expert support help organisations plan for these risks and act on them.

From data to results in four steps

The company's process is organised into four steps: get the data, get insights, get actions and get results. It says that automating the gathering, cleaning and reporting of data can save users up to 90 percent of their time. The firm also says it is trusted by organisations focused on sustainability, and that it has managed a large volume of energy spending through its platform to date.
