Energy Cost Management & Reporting
Energy applies ten years of operational practice: continuous fuel and electricity consumption reporting, including for named customer Lassila & Tikanoja, which mentions Alekstra in its annual report as a data-consolidation vendor. Utility invoices and meter data resolve to sites and cost centres — the 'place' half of the ownership rule — feeding cost and Scope 2 carbon from the same model. Savings claims are validated per engagement.
What it covers
- Energy-cost visibility: consumption and cost per consumption point, based on the metering and billing data available to the customer.
- Reporting readiness: an energy and asset data foundation that supports CSRD and EU Taxonomy reporting, produced from the same operational data used for cost management — not from spreadsheets assembled for a deadline.
- IT-infrastructure energy use as part of the picture: endpoints and network devices, small per device but material across the fleet and increasingly in scope for ESG.
- Cost and consumption reporting by organisational level.
A concrete compliance driver
The EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2023/1791) requires large energy users to run a certified energy-management system (e.g. ISO 50001) or regular energy audits, and CSRD/ESRS E1-5 requires disclosure of total energy consumption split renewable vs non-renewable. The same reconciled dataset serves both the cost lever and the mandatory disclosure.
This describes the service in general terms; fixed price, timeline, service levels and limitations of liability are confirmed at order. Delivery requires the customer's cooperation — providing the necessary data, access and authorisations on the agreed schedule. Personal data is processed in the EU by default.
How energy cost forms
The split that governs everything else is metered versus estimated. Metered consumption can be attributed to a site, a period and an owner. Estimated consumption cannot — which makes it both unmanageable and, increasingly, unreportable.

- Estimated or apportioned€30,00040 %
What this shape tells you
- A substantial share is not measured. Anything in that segment cannot be allocated to a site or an owner, so it cannot be managed and cannot be reported with confidence.
- Reporting obligations increasingly require measured data with a traceable source. Estimated consumption tends to be the part that fails an assurance review.
If you would like us to look at this with you, you can send these figures to our team. We will see the numbers you entered and which areas the calculator highlighted — nothing else, and no contact details unless you give them to us separately.
Illustrative and local to your browser: the sliders send nothing, and your figures stay on this device unless you press the button above. Defaults are placeholders, not benchmarks; replace them with your own figures. This shows how your spend is structured, not what you would save. Actual outcomes are established inside an engagement from your own data.
See it on your own numbers
The Alekstra audit is where most engagements start — a fixed-scope, fixed-fee review of the costs, contracts and risks in the areas you choose. Scope and price are agreed before we begin, and it carries no obligation to buy anything beyond it. If you'd rather talk first, we can walk you through what the service covers and where it tends to be worth starting.
