Use case · Energy monitoring · Netherlands

The rules ask for measured energy data. Make it work for you.

From the energy saving obligation to the new EED audit and building automation, Dutch rules increasingly ask companies to know, measure and report their energy use. We install the measurement, deliver the figures your auditor needs, and turn them into savings, as a service.

  • Energy saving obligation
  • EED audit
  • ISO 50001
  • GACS
  • Measured, not estimated
The situation

More rules, based on measured use

  • The audit threshold drops. Under the revised EED, the audit duty follows energy use: from 10 TJ (about 2.8 GWh) a year.
  • Audits need measured data. Total measured use and an electricity load profile for working and non-working days.
  • Larger users need a system. Above 85 TJ, a certified energy management system by 11 October 2027.
  • Buildings must monitor. Heated or cooled halls above 290 kW need continuous energy monitoring since 2026.
The outcome

Compliance and savings from one set of figures

  • Energy use per site, line and machine, measured, not estimated.
  • Load profiles ready for the audit, for working and non-working days.
  • The figures for each report: notification, audit, energy management evidence.
  • Savings measures with their effect, followed month by month.
Where the data comes from

This runs on measured data. There are three ways to get it, and only the third involves buying anything from us.

  1. 01

    Data you already have

    A historian, SCADA, submeters, your own exports — often more than people expect.

  2. 02

    Data from a supplier

    Your machine builder's, your energy supplier's, your grid operator's.

  3. 03

    Sensin Via

    When neither exists, we install the measurement and run it as a service.

Not used

Combined with your quarter-hour data from your grid operator, with your consent. Nothing passes through your network.

Which rules may apply to you
Energy saving obligationFrom 50,000 kWh electricity or 25,000 m³ gas a year: take all measures with a payback of five years or lessOngoing
Notification obligationReport the measures you have taken, every four years1 Dec 2027
Energy audit (revised EED)From 10 TJ (about 2.8 GWh) a year: audit with measured use, a load profile and an action plan1 Apr 2028
Energy management systemAbove 85 TJ (about 23.6 GWh) a year: a certified system such as ISO 5000111 Oct 2027
Building automation (GACS)Non-residential buildings, factory halls included, with heating or cooling above 290 kW: monitor, record and analyse energy use continuously. From 2030 above 70 kWSince 2026

Sources: RVO, energy saving obligation and notification obligation; RVO, revised EED (Dutch legislation expected after Q1 2027; final rules still to be published); RVO, GACS. Deadlines for the new EED audit apply to companies newly covered. We deliver the measured data and reports; the audit, certification and building control stay with your auditor, certifier and installer.

Reflection

If your site sits well under the audit thresholds and your energy bill is not a board-level number, measurement is a cost without a return yet. The honest first step is then the grid data you can already request for nothing, and a conversation in a year.
