Recent market data shows a clear trend:
the zonal hourly price no longer follows energy demand, but rather the daily evolution of the production mix.
As renewable generation increases, so do the hours with zero or near-zero prices, especially during the central hours of weekends.

➡️ The challenge

For industries, this creates a new scenario:

– Price volatility becomes the norm
– Costs depend more on when energy is used
– Opportunities arise during zero-price windows
– Inefficiencies become more expensive

To stay competitive, companies need tools that help them understand and control their energy use in real time.

🔎 Possible directions for end users

Forward-thinking companies are now focusing on:

🔄 Shifting non-critical loads to low-price periods

☀️ Maximizing self-consumption of on-site PV

🔋 Charging storage systems during zero-price hours

🧪 Monitoring environmental/process data to optimize operations holistically

⚙️ Automating energy strategies instead of relying on manual decisions

👉 But these strategies require accurate data — and the ability to act on it.

⚡ How Electrex provides a complete solution

At Electrex, our systems go beyond traditional energy monitoring. We provide a full energy and process management platform that supports companies in transforming market volatility into competitive advantage.

✔ Real-time visibility for smarter choices
Our energy analyzers and data loggers give users granular insight into consumption patterns, PV production, and power quality.

✔ Built-in PLC and relays for automation
Electrex devices can automatically:
– Activate loads during zero-price hours
– Shift consumption away from expensive periods
– Control HVAC, pumps, compressors, EV chargers, and more
– Prioritize self-consumption vs. grid import
– No external PLC needed — everything is integrated.

✔ Unified monitoring: energy + process + environment
Temperature, humidity, IAQ, machine status…
All these influence energy use.
Electrex unifies them into a single platform to highlight inefficiencies and optimize operations dynamically.

🟢 The result

With Electrex, companies can:

– Reduce energy bills by leveraging low-price hours

– Improve operational and environmental efficiency

– Maximize PV investments

– Prepare for flexibility markets and future dynamic tariffs

In a world where energy prices no longer follow demand, intelligent monitoring and automated management are becoming essential.
Electrex delivers both.
