UPM-Kymmene, a major forest products company, implemented an energy management and optimization system from ABB to lower energy costs across its 100 production facilities in 14 countries. The system optimized electricity purchasing and load allocation, forecasting demand and reacting quickly to market changes. This allowed UPM-Kymmene to save millions of euros annually through reduced supply costs, increased electricity sales revenue, better load planning, and lower labor costs. The system paid for itself within a few months, demonstrating the strong return on investment potential of such systems for manufacturers.
