EPOP · Energy Procurement Optimisation Platform

The cheapest electricity for your facility — calculated continuously.

EPOP models six procurement channels simultaneously, using your actual consumption history and live IEX market prices. One engine. One recommendation. Monthly re-optimisation. Daily IEX scheduling for open access clients.

The problem

The gap most C&I businesses don't know exists.

Your DISCOM bill is not the whole story. There are always cheaper options available — EPOP finds them and tells you exactly how much you are leaving on the table.

Before EPOP — what most C&I businesses pay
₹8–12/unit
  • 100% DISCOM dependency
  • No visibility into cheaper alternatives
  • ToD surcharges and demand penalties unmanaged
After EPOP — blended optimised cost
₹5–7/unit
  • DISCOM + rooftop solar + IEX open access mix
  • Monthly re-optimisation as markets move
  • Demand charges and ToD windows actively managed

Illustrative. Maharashtra HT Facility, 2 MW. Actual values depend on your state, DISCOM, and consumption profile.

What you get

Three outputs. One audit.

We run the numbers on your actual DISCOM bill and produce three things your CFO can act on immediately.

Output A

Your current true cost

We extract every charge from your DISCOM bill and show you the true all-in cost per unit. Most businesses are surprised — the headline tariff is never the real number.

Includes
  • Energy charges, fixed charges, and ToD differentials
  • Maximum demand penalties and fuel adjustment charges
  • Cross-subsidy surcharge and statutory levies — all unpacked
Output B

Our recommendation

The cheapest feasible combination of energy sources for your actual load profile, state, and constraints. The engine decides — not us.

Includes
  • Optimal channel mix with lowest blended ₹/unit
  • Implementation sequence and cost to get there
  • Projected monthly saving vs. current spend
Output C

Channel alternatives

What if you only added solar? Only moved to IEX? Each scenario with delivered ₹/unit, IRR, and payback — so your CFO can sign off.

Includes
  • IRR, payback, and delivered ₹/unit per channel
  • Scenario modelling — solar-only, IEX-only, BESS-only
  • Side-by-side comparison for CFO sign-off
Six procurement channels

Every option modelled simultaneously.

EPOP doesn't pick one channel and optimise within it. It prices all six, stacks every applicable charge, and tells you the optimal combination for your actual load profile and state.

DISCOM Grid

Your baseline — every charge broken down.

Most businesses see only the headline tariff. EPOP extracts every line item from your DISCOM bill — energy charges, fixed charges, ToD differentials, maximum demand penalties, fuel adjustment charges, cross-subsidy surcharges, and statutory levies — and produces your true all-in cost per unit.

What we model
  • True all-in ₹/unit across all charge heads
  • Month-on-month tariff escalation trends
  • Maximum demand charge exposure and reduction potential
Battery Storage Analytics

Store cheap power. Discharge when electricity is expensive. Keep the difference.

BESS economics depend on the spread between your cheapest charging window and your most expensive discharge hours. EPOP sizes the battery correctly and computes the real return — before you commit anything.

01 · Night · 1–5 AM

Battery charges

₹2.5–3.5 / unit

IEX prices fall to their lowest point overnight. The battery fills automatically — drawing the cheapest electricity available anywhere on the grid.

CHARGE95%
02 · Evening · 5–9 PM

Battery discharges

₹7–9 / unit

IEX prices spike. Solar has dropped off. The battery delivers stored power instead of drawing from the expensive grid.

DISCHARGE15%
03 · Annual · The Return

You keep the difference

₹4–6 spread / unit

Charge cost minus avoided discharge cost, multiplied across 365 cycles — is your annual return on the battery investment.

SPREAD~55%

“Every evening, we pull tomorrow's IEX prices, identify the cheapest charging windows and the most expensive discharge windows, and send a schedule to your battery controller. The battery executes it automatically. We provide the intelligence — you capture the saving.”

Illustrative. Sized on your actual 15-min load data. IRR and payback depend on your state, ToD tariff structure, and DISCOM peak charges.
