Partner Solution
Circuit-level energy monitoring and a managed savings service. Find the waste a utility bill can never show you.
The challenge
South African energy costs keep climbing, driven by tariff increases and grid instability, and the pressure lands squarely on operating margins. Yet most sites still run on a single number a month: the meter reading on the invoice. That number confirms the problem. It does nothing to locate it.
Below the main meter, almost nothing is visible. Which circuit drifted. Which chiller started running through the night. Which asset has been failing slowly for six weeks. By the time it shows up on a bill, the money is already gone, and the bill cannot tell you which of a hundred possible causes to go and fix.
Best Energy South Africa is an official GCX partner, bringing the Eniscope IoT metering system and a managed Virtual Energy Management Service to South African facilities. Eniscope instruments the distribution board directly, so consumption is measured minute by minute at building, circuit and asset level, and waste becomes something you can point at rather than something you infer.
What it monitors
Eniscope measures at four levels — building, circuit, asset and environment — then alerts, controls and reports on what it finds. An open API means the data lands where your team already works.
Whole-site electricity, gas and water on a single view, so total consumption is measured continuously rather than reconciled from invoices once a month.
Current transformers on the distribution board break the site into its constituent circuits, isolating exactly where consumption sits and where it drifts.
Key plant is metered individually. HVAC, lighting, refrigeration and compressed air each get their own profile, so a failing asset announces itself in the data.
Light, humidity, CO₂, occupancy and temperature sensors add the context that makes consumption interpretable rather than merely visible.
Thresholds and anomaly alarms fire in real time. Because the system integrates with IoT devices, monitoring can extend into control where it is warranted.
Dashboards, public-facing displays and structured exports through the platform API, so the same data serves the plant room, the board pack and the carbon inventory.
How the engagement runs
Twelve months of utility bills analysed before a single device is fitted.
What that means
A documented installation specification, then a qualified electrical install.
What that means
The service that turns monitoring into sustained savings.
What that means
Best Energy is delivered as a managed service on rented hardware, scoped to your site count and the assets you need instrumented.

This is the question everyone asks, so here is the plain answer. DASH tells you what your energy costs and what it emits, at site and organisation level, in a form you can put in a report, a carbon inventory or a board pack. Eniscope tells you which circuit, which asset and which hour is wasting it.
They operate at different resolutions and answer different questions. One is the reporting layer, the other is the measurement layer underneath it. Run Eniscope on its own if reducing consumption is the immediate pressure, or run it feeding DASH so that verified, circuit-level data flows straight into your energy and carbon reporting instead of being re-keyed from invoices.
The gap assessment analyses twelve months of your utility data and quantifies what is recoverable, before any equipment is specified or installed. Bring your bills and we will tell you whether there is a case.
