A Satisfied Client
The Reitan Group were very pleased with the results
Why did they seek an energy management solution?
Reitan were experiencing three key drivers that pushed them to seek a solution:
- Denmark brought in a legal requirement to differentiate between energy types for tax purposes. To fulfil their statutory requirements, they needed an accurate energy monitoring system that could isolate certain energy types consider for ‘comfort’.
- The Reitan Group are a responsible organisation, with increasing requirements for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) reporting and reductions in CO2 emissions. They needed an effective way to bring their energy usage and the associated environmental cost down, across the whole network of stores.
- They needed to save money. They were looking for a project that could combine significant savings with a short ROI period.

The rollout
With Eniscope now operating in 120 stores, IQ Energy receive and report on a huge amount of data. In essence, Reitan have outsourced their energy management functions for this portfolio – allowing IQ Energy to identify new opportunities for energy savings and deliver on them on an ongoing basis.
The IQ Energy team report for benchmarking purposes on a quarterly basis, allowing Reitan to compare the performance of each store against each other. In this way, they learn from the best practice demonstrated by one store and can apply it to the others.
The same Eniscope system also enables Reitan to fulfil their yearly CSR reporting obligations and has allowed them to meet their tax requirements consistently and accurately.
