BASF - Smarter utility operations for energy-intensive industry

Solution: Balancing & Shipping (EBASE Platform)

The challenge

At BASF’s Antwerp site — one of the largest integrated chemical production locations in Europe — energy and utilities are essential to operations. BASF needed to forecast and allocate electricity accurately across multiple on-site users, integrate near real-time meter readings, and improve both cost control and supply security.

The solution

We implemented an Eneve solution for advanced utility management (EBASE Platform), customised for BASF’s non-regulated context. The system integrates with meter infrastructure and includes tailored logic and interfaces to support real-time operational decisions.

The result

BASF achieved grid operator certification on time, unlocked significant cost and CO₂ savings, and scaled its energy operations — without adding staff.

Facts and figures

  • > 1000x increase in data points processed
  • Grid operator certified within regulatory timeframe
  • No increase in FTEs required
