The problem

The bill doesn't show where electricity is lost

Meter readings end up in Excel, problems only show up with the bill. Which store stands out, and whether measures work, remains unclear.

  • 52 %of the electricity in food retail goes to refrigeration on average.1
  • approx. €69,000electricity cost per year for a store with 1,200 m² of sales area.2
  • 7.5 GWhannual energy consumption above which an energy management system is mandatory.3

1 EHI, Energiemanagement im Einzelhandel 2025 (German). 2 1,200 m² × 289 kWh per m² (EHI 2025) × 20 ct/kWh, estimate based on the BDEW electricity price analysis 08/2026 (German). 3 Germany, EnEfG § 8: all energy sources, average of the last three years.

Energy management for food retail

The solution: ecoX Retail

Retrofit wireless sensors: a qualified electrician installs the meters without rebuilding. No changes to your IT or refrigeration control.

  • TransparencyWireless sub-meters for refrigeration, HVAC and lighting, per store and consumer
  • Store comparisonAll stores ranked by consumption per m², outliers flagged instantly, e.g. when lighting and HVAC keep running after closing time
  • AnalysisDeviations at a glance, detected and reported automatically if you wish
  • ProofKey figures and audit-ready reports, measure by measure

Can be extended with temperature and humidity sensors and load management.

Its own wireless infrastructure: no changes to your IT, no connection to the store network.
How ecoX Retail works: 1. energy meters and temperature sensors in the store, 2. wireless transmission to the gateway and via mobile network to the cloud, 3. cloud and monitoring with consumption, temperatures and alarms, 4. store comparison of energy consumption
Proof

Prove savings, also for ISO 50001

Whether a measure works is hard to prove: weather, opening hours and product range change consumption too. ecoX Retail shows it store by store, as evidence for audits and recertification.

  1. Set a marker, e.g. new doors on the refrigerated cabinets in store 04
  2. Detect the change automatically
  3. Document the effect as proof, store by store

Markers and automatic detection are available on request, as is support up to certification by an accredited body.
