Case Study: Blommer Chocolate Company achieves verifiable energy savings with Enel X Energy Intelligence Software

Blommer Chocolate Company Finds Sweet Savings with Energy Intelligence Software

Blommer Chocolate Company, a major North American cocoa processor, faced the challenge of reducing energy consumption and overall manufacturing costs across its multiple facilities. The company sought to move beyond simply looking at monthly bills to gain real-time visibility into its operations and find verifiable savings. To address this, they partnered with vendor Enel X to implement its energy intelligence software (EIS).

Enel X's solution provided a centralized platform for real-time energy data, enabling Blommer to monitor consumption, receive proactive alerts, and prioritize efficiency projects. This led to verifiable savings, including over $300,000 from a chiller upgrade and $35,000 annually from eliminating air leaks. The software also allowed for accurate measurement and verification of savings, helping Blommer manage energy like a raw material and effectively communicate their conservation results to stakeholders.
