According to Energy Metering Technology, which has over 25 years of experience in the area, successful aM&T scheme will:

• Identify avoidable energy waste by determining base load
• Allow profile investigation by showing unexpected patterns outside expected energy consumption, thus enabling enabling early rectification.
• Allow regression of energy against drivers such as degree days or production throughput.
• Quantify energy saving projects, allowing visibility for potential improvements and monitoring results where projects are carried out
• Allow promotion of energy awareness by having the ability to report on consumption and provide timely data to compare against day to day workings
• Enable statutory compliance, for example used to report for ESOS CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and also ISO5001
• Provide max/min load data for accurate capital equipment sizing, optimising capital outlay.
