Energy benefit estimator
Estimate the value of using less energy for the same work
Choose a metered electricity scope and a comparable production baseline before modelling potential savings.

Use one currency throughout. Changing the currency changes the unit label only; it does not convert any amount.
Record the non-confidential boundary for this estimate so printed scenarios remain understandable.
Base scenario
Use a metered scope and comparable production period.
Match the consumption scope. Exclude fixed charges that will not change.
Use an assumption adjusted for production, mix, weather and operating time.
Leave blank to omit emissions. Use a factor appropriate to your reporting boundary.
Add costs only when you have a supportable cash-benefit estimate.
What your assumptions imply
Enter your baseline and an improvement assumption to calculate a scenario.
How this is calculated
- Potential electricity consumption avoidedAnnual electricity consumption * Assumed normalized consumption reduction / 100
- Gross variable-electricity-cost benefitAnnual avoidable variable electricity spend * Assumed normalized consumption reduction / 100
- Illustrative emissions changePotential electricity consumption avoided * Electricity emission factor, optional / 1000
Costs and cash realization
- Annual net operating cash benefitRealizable annual cash benefit - Annual recurring operating cost
- First-year net cash benefitRealizable annual cash benefit - Annual recurring operating cost - One-time implementation investment
- Simple payback at full stated annual benefit12 * One-time implementation investment / Annual net operating cash benefit
- First-year undiscounted ROI at full stated annual benefit100 * First-year net cash benefit / (One-time implementation investment + Annual recurring operating cost)
Illustrative scenario only. This is not a quote, forecast, guarantee or verified customer outcome. Confirm the baseline, avoid overlapping benefits and include delivery and operating costs before approving investment.
Keep this estimate with your readiness worksheet or evidence record. For each scenario, record the source/reference, measured period and owner role; mark measured inputs versus assumptions, uncertainty or ranges, and unresolved questions. Copy or print both records before leaving their pages; entries are not carried between pages. Start an enquiry with a non-confidential description only. Open the readiness worksheet.

Define what is inside the calculation
Use annual electricity consumption and its avoidable variable cost for the same equipment and period. Fixed charges may remain even when consumption falls. If you also want to assess gas, steam or other fuels, create separate scenarios using appropriate units and factors rather than combining them into an electricity calculation.
Compare like with like
Production volume, product mix, weather and operating hours can move consumption independently of an AI project. Agree how to normalize the baseline before interpreting a before-and-after result. Existing well-tuned controls may leave less room for improvement; the assumed reduction should come from your own operating evidence.
Include the cost of achieving the reduction
The outputs are gross scenarios. Metering, integration, process changes, software and continuing operation must be costed separately. An emissions estimate is also conditional on the factor and reporting boundary you enter. It is not a verified reduction or carbon-credit calculation.

Questions and answers
Can we use the entire utility bill?
Only if the spend matches the consumption scope and excludes charges that would not change with usage.
Does the emissions figure support reporting?
Your sustainability owner must confirm the factor, period, boundary and applicable accounting method before using it.
Does this result include project costs?
The main result is a gross scenario. The optional cash-based investment view uses your separate realizable cash-benefit estimate and deducts implementation and operating costs. It does not automatically turn capacity or exposure into cash savings.
Are my inputs sent to NeoBram?
No. Calculation runs in your browser tab. Your entries are not sent through analytics or passed to the contact form. You can choose to print or copy a summary yourself.
