Energy prices under pressure - companies face major challenges
Energy costs in Europe have risen by more than 500% since 2019 due to increasing volatility. In some sectors, energy costs already account for over 10 % of total expenditure. At the same time, stricter regulatory requirements are leading to additional costs. The AI-based ecoplanet Cockpit enables companies to manage their energy consumption on a data-driven basis, automate processes and comply with legal requirements, which significantly strengthens their competitiveness.
The energy markets are undergoing fundamental change. Renewable energies already account for over 50% of total electricity generation in Germany today
