Sustainability & Energy: from cost to return in 60 days
↓
LATAM faces real pressure for efficiency and decarbonization. What separates a press release from a result is a well-designed pilot: controlled site, hero metric, and shared governance.
Where are the quick wins?
- Efficiency in critical sites (retail/plants): intelligent control of HVAC, cold storage, and lighting. Typical savings of 8–20% when telemetry and automatic adjustments are in place.
- Demand management: peak shaving and load shifting with distributed storage/DERs to reduce penalties.
- MRV (measurement and reporting of carbon): capturing operational data + local factors for audited traceability in global supply chains.
- O&M of renewables: predictive maintenance with IoT to reduce failures and extend lifespan.
Innovation in the energy sector is not just about technology; it's about creating systems that are economically viable and socially responsible.
How we do it (6–8 weeks):
- Definition of the challenge and metrics (kWh, CO₂, $).
- Scouting and evaluation of regulatory/security fit.
- Pilot design (site, sensors, baseline, and cohorts).
- Execution + real-time dashboard.
- Go/No-Go decision and scaling plan with SLOs.
- Mini-ROI calculator: savings (%) = (baseline consumption − pilot consumption) / baseline. Example: 500 MWh/month, 12% savings ⇒ 60 MWh (= 60,000 kWh). At US$0.12/kWh = US$7,200/month. If the pilot costs US$50k, payback ≈ 7 months.
- Risks and mitigation: operational interruptions (installation windows), OT/IT cybersecurity (segmentation + fail-safe), incomplete data (baseline minimum 30–60 days).
- Startup checklist: internal sponsor, access to a pilot site, historical data if available, explicit business objective (e.g., −10% consumption without affecting losses).
