CommerceTo make this measure more effective and tailored to the specific context of your company, we recommend that you first perform an overall analysis of your energy situation.
In most companies, the need for a server room has become a matter of course. Unfortunately, information on the energy consumption of the technological equipment used is not necessarily available prior to installation. IT infrastructures require a lot of energy and represent high costs, which are generally accepted as they are. However, there is great potential for savings.
With a view to optimising the server infrastructure, the following steps indicate a recommended analysis approach.
An in-depth analysis by a company in the sector in question will create a solid basis for any adjustments that may need to be made.
There are a number of possible solutions:
There are other benefits to be considered in relation to outsourcing solutions (e.g. data security, additional services, reduced maintenance costs).
Use the to simulate energy saving measures
In an existing infrastructure, the simulator helps to identify different electricity-saving measures.
Involve the IT supplier or contractual partner in the measures mentioned to reduce electricity consumption.
Attention: incentive effect to be complied with when applying for subsidies (state or otherwise) and subject to compliance with the eligibility conditions.
In order to respect the “incentive effect”, no binding commitment (signing a quotation; paying a deposit) may be made BEFORE submitting the application file or receiving the agreement in principle from the State or the electricity and natural gas supplier following an subsidy application.

Any questions?
N.B. State subsidies cannot be combined for the same project.
Since 2015, natural gas and electricity suppliers have been required to make energy savings for consumers under the obligation scheme. Since then, energy suppliers have been offering support and advice, as well as subsidy programmes for consumers to implement energy efficiency measures.
The amount of the premium is proportional to the annual energy saving (in MWh).
The following suppliers offer this service for companies:
N.B. Supplier subsidies can be combined with any state subsidies for the same project.
