CLD · 03 · EnergyCloud · smart energy financial management

Stop overpaying for power. Start managing it.

Most energy tools stop at pretty graphs of kilowatt-hours. EnergyCloud starts where the CFO cares — the rand. It reads your actual bills, audits them for errors, models cheaper tariffs, and tracks every saving to budget. Energy stops being an unmanaged overhead and becomes a line item you control.

CLD · 01 · The reframe

Monitoring tells you what you used. EnergyCloud tells you what you're overpaying.

For any business with an electricity bill it doesn't fully trust — one shop or a property portfolio. Built for South Africa first: Eskom & municipal tariffs, Megaflex/TOU, NMD/kVA demand charges, load-shedding realities. The bill is the problem. So we start there.

An EMS / energy monitor
"How much power did we use?"
  • Pretty graphs of kilowatt-hours
  • Tells you what happened, after month-end
  • No view on whether the bill is even correct
  • Leaves tariff, demand and errors for someone else
EnergyCloud
"How much money, why, and what do I do about it?"
  • Reads the actual bill and audits it for errors
  • Models cheaper, legitimate tariffs — and proves the saving
  • Flags cost spikes within days, not at month-end
  • Tracks identified vs. captured savings to budget

Financial intelligence first. Monitoring second.

Everything is built around cost, savings and budgets — not just meters. Roadmap items are labelled, not pretended.

Financial intelligence

The core
  • AI bill analysisInstant breakdown of every charge — understand exactly what you pay for.
  • Bill auditCharges checked against the correct tariff schedule — catches overcharges you'd never spot.
  • Tariff optimisation & simulationModels your usage on alternative tariffs — switch to the cheapest legitimate one, proven first.
  • Demand (NMD/kVA) analysisUtilisation and excess-demand modelling — avoid penalties, right-size your notified maximum demand.
  • Time-of-Use optimisationPeak→off-peak shift modelling — cut cost by moving load, not cutting output.
  • Dispute generationAI-drafted dispute letters for billing errors — recover money without the admin.
  • Budgets, forecasts & savings trackingTargets, projected spend, identified vs. captured savings YTD — proof of ROI, not promises.

Monitoring & alerts

Catch it early
  • Automatic anomaly detectionCost, consumption, demand spikes and billing gaps — known within days, not at month-end.
  • Configurable alertsThresholds and rules per site / meter — the right person hears about the right problem.

CLD · 05 · Who it's for

One platform. Three sizes of headache.

From a single-site retailer to a multi-property enterprise portfolio — the pain is different, the answer is the same loop.

Small · 01

Single site

One shop or office. No energy expertise on staff.

"My bill is confusing and I think I'm overpaying."

Upload a bill — instant breakdown, error audit and a cheaper-tariff recommendation.

"A random spike wrecked my month."

Automatic spike alerts within days, not at month-end.

"I have no time for this."

No consultants, no spreadsheets — analysis in minutes.

Medium · 02

Several sites

Multiple meters and real demand charges.

"Demand penalties keep biting me."

NMD/kVA analysis right-sizes demand and flags excess before it's charged.

"Am I even on the right tariff?"

Tariff simulation proves the cheaper option before you switch.

"I can't see across my sites."

Portfolio view ranks every meter; budgets keep each site on target.

Enterprise · 03

Portfolio & board

Multi-property, with board and ESG reporting.

"Reporting to the board eats days."

360° Scorecard + scheduled PDF / Excel reports, automatically.

"We need Scope 2 carbon numbers."

Built-in emissions tracking with market factors.

"Energy data lives in 30 places."

One multi-tenant platform; roadmap for tenant billing, solar/BESS and wheeling.

CLD · 06 · Why it's different

We audit the bill — not just the meter.

Quantified ROI, not vanity dashboards. Here's a composite SA case — illustrative of typical engagements, not a single site. Per-site figures shared under NDA.

01

Financial-first

Built around cost, savings and budgets — not meters.

02

SA-native

Eskom & municipal, Megaflex/TOU, NMD/kVA penalties.

03

Audits the bill

Catches overcharges other tools never look for.

04

Captured savings

Tracks identified vs. captured — proof, not promises.
