What is energy cost per unit in manufacturing?
Energy cost per unit is the total energy expenditure (electricity, natural gas, and other fuels) divided by the number of units produced in a given period. This metric helps manufacturers understand how much energy contributes to the cost of each product, identify opportunities for efficiency improvements, and benchmark performance against industry standards. Tracking energy cost per unit over time reveals whether efficiency initiatives are delivering real savings.
Key Energy Cost Metrics
Energy Cost per Unit
Total energy spend divided by units produced. The direct metric linking energy consumption to product cost.
Energy Intensity
kWh consumed per $1,000 of revenue. Used for benchmarking facility efficiency against industry peers and tracking sustainability targets.
Demand Charge Impact
Cost based on peak power draw, not total consumption. Can represent 30-70% of the electricity bill in manufacturing facilities.
