Building a Data-Driven Energy Strategy for Regulatory Change
A strong data foundation is key to navigating regulatory change in energy management. Energy and utility data, once seen mainly for compliance, now drive procurement, investor relations, and climate risk planning. Organizations must centralize and standardize data across platforms to avoid fragmentation, ensuring accessibility for decision-makers. Building flexibility into systems allows quick adaptation to evolving reporting frameworks like ENERGY STAR. By integrating compliance with cost savings, carbon reduction, and resilience, companies can turn regulation into strategic advantage. Importantly, accurate data should come before technology investments, ensuring tools truly support compliance and sustainability goals.
