Vodafone white paper discusses energy management solution for businesses

Vodafone is helping businesses monitor their energy efficiency at a detailed level in real-time with its new energy management solution Energy Data Management (EDM).  
 
Energy Data Management is beneficial for companies in retail, manufacturing, the public sector and for any organisation that has many energy suppliers, different types of contracts and bills. In these situations, an overall picture of energy usage is difficult to achieve.
 
It has been noted that operating across a wide range of sites can lead to tough decisions regarding energy management and efficient solutions. Individually, each system that uses power might be using just a few hundred watts. But over the year and across multiple sites, these power costs add up.
 
Vodafone’s Energy Data Management is a machine-to-machine (M2M) solution that can give you essential information so you can make better decisions about the energy-efficiency policies, processes and technology of an organisation.
 
Vodafone has now been monitoring its energy consumption for over 10 years and has smart meters installed in 40,000 base stations – with a plan to extend the implementation of EDM in the future.
 
The company has also started to deploy the solution to large offices and other sites consuming large amounts of energy. Around 60% of Vodafone’s energy consumption was spread across more than 230,000 base stations, 25% on data centres, and 15% on offices and retail sites.
 
Vodafone has recently published a white paper about its energy management solution EDM, as well as monitoring energy efficiency. This white paper can be viewed here.
