FAQ
Energy management costs
Metering and budget
What does digital energy management software cost?
Monitoring for one site often starts around EUR 18,000 excl. VAT. Many metering points, forecasts and load management increase scope.
Which metering points should be connected first?
Prioritise main meters, large consumers, generation assets and areas with unusual load profiles. Sub-meters follow based on proven value.
What is the difference between monitoring and load management?
Monitoring makes consumption visible. Load management actively controls flexible consumers to reduce peaks and demand charges.
Assess your energy data
We plan the metering concept, data platform and business case.
Integration and evidence
How does the software support ISO 50001?
It documents KPIs, baselines, measures and deviations in a traceable way. Certification itself remains the responsibility of accredited auditors.
Can photovoltaics and storage be integrated?
Yes. Generation, storage state, grid consumption and load forecasts can be visualised together and used for optimisation.
Where is the platform developed?
Groenewold IT develops Made in Germany in Leer and combines energy, IoT and software expertise with direct project ownership.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
