Schneider Electric has partnered with Capgemini on an energy optimisation platform.
The Energy Command Centre aims to provide businesses with a centralised platform to monitor, control and optimise all building assets consuming energy, including data centres or critical environment rooms.
The platform uses AI, machine learning and IoT technologies to measure and predict various metrics like energy intensity, health of critical assets, critical operations, renewable energy generation, and the overall performance across all energy assets.
“At Capgemini we are deeply convinced that there is an incredible untapped potential for digital technologies and data to accelerate the energy transition. We share this vision and commitment with Schneider Electric,” said Aiman Ezzat, CEO at Capgemini.
“We are at a pivotal moment for the energy transition and are thrilled to join forces and combine our deep technology and data expertise with Schneider Electric’s reputed solutions, to empower organisations to manage and accelerate their energy decarbonisation pathway.”
A prototype of the solution has been tested since 2022 across Capgemini’s operations in India, which account for about a quarter of the the company's energy footprint.
In 2023, the prototype reduced energy consumption at Capgemini’s eight main Indian campuses by 29 percent compared to 2019.
“Tackling the energy and climate crises is paramount, and energy efficiency plays a key role in mitigating these challenges," said Peter Herweck, CEO at Schneider Electric.
"Decarbonisation through electrification and digitisation is a necessity for a sustainable future. We are very excited to collaborate with Capgemini, as it allows us to further advance our efforts to drive energy efficiency and sustainable practices. Together we can make a meaningful impact.”
