Energy-Check and MeterInsight: Efficient energy management with flexible monitoring

With extensive knowledge of the energy market, Energy-Check helps companies not only secure the most competitive energy rates but also implement cost-saving and environmentally friendly measures. Their mission is to help businesses reduce dependence on fossil fuels and support them in achieving the government’s 2030 energy transition and CO₂ reduction targets.

20 years of independent energy expertise: Energy-Check

Energy-Check, founded in 2004 by Tom Krieger, began as a pioneer in energy procurement. After leaving Essent, Krieger decided to leverage his expertise to assist customers in navigating energy procurement from the other side of the table. At that time, shortly after the liberalisation of the energy market, self-procuring energy was still an emerging concept. Energy-Check successfully capitalised on this trend, quickly becoming a market leader in energy procurement.

Challenge: Expanding services and the need for flexible monitoring

In 2012, the dynamics at Energy-Check shifted due to increasing customer demand for energy savings. Initially met with some hesitation, it soon became clear that customers sought comprehensive support to reduce their energy consumption. This prompted Energy-Check to expand its services, making energy savings a key pillar alongside energy procurement.

As their service offerings grew, so did the need for a flexible monitoring system. Existing solutions no longer met their requirements, as they often failed to integrate submeters and foreign meters. Energy-Check required a system that could not only provide insights into energy consumption but also seamlessly connect various types of meters.

Solution: Flexibility and innovation with MeterInsight

The partnership with MeterInsight provided Energy-Check with exactly what they needed: a flexible and user-friendly energy monitoring system capable of collecting data from various meter types, including submeters and foreign meters. With MeterInsights fast development and flexibility, Energy-Check can effortlessly respond to the unique needs of its customers.

The implementation of MeterInsight went smoothly. The platform’s user-friendliness proved to be a significant asset for both Energy-Check staff and their customers. “The fact that our customers can start using the system without extensive training is a major advantage,” says Niek van Erk, co-owner of Energy-Check. “This makes it easier for us to deliver insights on a large scale and achieve energy savings.”

MeterInsight’s flexibility in integrating different types of meters allows us to manage complex energy data effortlessly. This enables us to quickly respond to customer needs and optimise their energy usage more effectively”

With MeterInsight, Energy-Check cannot only monitor their customers’ energy consumption but also provides actionable advice on saving opportunities. The platform’s flexibility enables quick data collection and the conversion of that data into actionable insights, resulting in more efficient and targeted energy savings for their customers.

Future vision: Further integration and sustainability

Energy-Check envisions further developing data integrations with diverse meter systems. Their ambition is to create a universal plug-and-play solution that seamlessly integrates data from a variety of meters and systems. This would enhance both flexibility and user-friendliness for their customers.

Thanks to its collaboration with MeterInsight, Energy-Check has been able to expand and optimise its services. MeterInsight’s flexibility and innovation support Energy-Check in managing energy consumption and savings more efficiently for their customers. Energy-Check remains committed to sustainability, with the goal of making all affiliated organisations energy-neutral by 2035. With the right tools and partners like MeterInsight, this goal is within reach.
