LATEST MARKET UPDATE: Gas and Power prices are largely trading at parity with last week’s levels, despite some significant price swings at the front of the pricing curve. The bout of low pressure has seen reduced wind output, increasing demand for gas-fired power generation and stretching a European gas system which is struggling to attract global LNG. Winter prices have also been volatile with concerns over gas storage levels being partially offset by positive supply news surrounding the potential completion of the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline. Prices further out have been softer, as renewed coronavirus fears in the wake of the delta variant have weigh on global oil markets.
Energy management has never been more important, with every business looking to optimise their energy strategy to reduce costs and carbon emissions.
Centrica Business Solutions Panoramic Power™ and PowerRadar™ give businesses greater visibility and intelligence on their energy consumption profile.
Watch this video to find out how implementing Panoramic Power™ and PowerRadar™ across your site can give you real-time, granular energy data on specific equipment. Allowing you to improve business performance through the development of a robust energy strategy that is based upon detailed Energy Insights.
Panoramic Power™ is a self-powered and non-intrusive wireless solution. Through the mapping and implementation of the sensors, you collect real-time energy data and analytics at a granular level from your on-site equipment.
The sensors continuously collect data and deliver it in real-time to the energy management platform PowerRadar™, to allow the performance monitoring of on-site assets. The system uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) and adheres to strict security and privacy standards.
PowerRadar™ is an intuitive platform where you can analyse your energy consumption. it is cloud-based, meaning you can view it anywhere in the world. The intelligence gained from using PowerRadar™ helps to develop Energy Insights that can drive your energy strategy.
The Energy Insights solution has provided valuable equipment level information across a broad range of our sites, allowing us to implement energy reduction and process optimisation improvements.

The deployment of over 1,600 sensors across 42 sites in the UK allowed CEMEX to develop a deeper understanding of their energy usage profile. It has also provided valuable insights that enabled proactive steps to be taken to stop plant machinery overloading and becoming inefficient. Using Centrica's Panoramic Power™ allowed CEMEX to:
Schools by nature have a very varied energy usage across a year, this makes it hard to identify how to save energy and cost. Installing Panoramic PowerTM for a two month period enabled the collection of data on specific equipment and the school to detect problems and potential failures before they occurred. With the combination of Panoramic PowerTM and PowerRadarTM the school were able to:
With over 400 stores across 50 countries, this fashion brand was looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint and deliver on its sustainability pledge. A trial of Panoramic PowerTM across a series of its stores and warehouses provided valuable insights on energy saving opportunities. Using the data collected via Panoramic PowerTM the fashion brand was about to:
