Turning energy costs into budget control
For resilient, sustainable and efficient European cities
BETWEEN 2025 AND 2027: A NEW CHALLENGE FOR EUROPEAN CITIES
Volatility in electricity, gas and water prices, combined with persistent inflation and geopolitical tensions, is creating increasing pressure on municipal budgets.
The phasing out of tariff protection mechanisms, the necessary investments in infrastructure and the uncertainties in energy markets make it more complex than ever to control spending.
The question is no longer “How much do we consume?”
The question is: “How can we anticipate, control and optimise our consumption?”
A CONTEXT UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
ELECTRICITY
- Phasing out price cap mechanisms
- Return to greater exposure to energy markets
- Rising transport and distribution costs
- Increased price volatility until 2027
GAS
- Temporary maintenance of protective devices in certain countries
- Uncertainties on prices in the medium term
- Sensitivity to international geopolitical tensions
- Upside risk after the end of the support schemes
WATER
- Increased network operating costs
- Significant investments for infrastructure upgrades
- Impact of inflation on processing and distribution costs
- Increasing pressure on local authority budgets
RISKS TO COMMUNITIES
Budgetary slippage
Unpredictable energy bills that are difficult to anticipate.
Invisible consumption
Leaks, drifts and overconsumption not detected.
Lack of visibility
Lack of consolidated data to effectively manage buildings.
Difficulty in prioritizing
It is impossible to quickly identify the most energy-intensive buildings.
Regulatory pressure
Increasing requirements for energy, climate and ESG reporting.
Reactive decisions
Actions are often taken after the problem has occurred.

THE BENEFITS FOR THE CITY
Controlling costs
Reduce energy costs and improve budget predictability.
Decide faster
Rely on reliable data rather than estimates.
Acting before crises
Detect drifts before they become costly.
Improve performance
Identify priority buildings and target high-impact actions.
Supporting the energy transition
Concretely measure the results of public policies.
Building resilience
Prepare the city for future fluctuations in energy markets.
WHY ACT NOW?
Between 2025 and 2027, European local authorities will have to deal with:
- ✓ Persistent energy inflation
- ✓ More volatile markets
- ✓ Strengthened regulatory requirements
- ✓ Increasing pressure on public finances
Cities that have real-time visibility into their consumption will be best prepared to protect their budgets and achieve their sustainability goals.
