Dewis explains : “ IoT has become a hot topic on business agendas – how do you join up all of the million bits of data within these different assets and leverage them in a way that can help meet those goals or benefit those business and organisations ?”

Dewis explains that this has resulted in an increased need for flexibility to be built between energy providers , such as EON , all the way through to organisations that are holding these assets , such as IKEA , which place a large emphasis on sustainable , energy saving initiatives . He comments : “ Companies like IKEA have a ‘ going-all-in ’ strategy , where they ’ re building huge solar energy farms and resources to supply that to the grid , so they can be part of that energy supply chain .”
With climate change driving organisations to set new initiatives at a macro level , they will need to deploy a number of strategies to meet the goals set in an ever-changing energy landscape . With predictive energy management , alongside current demand
