Les autorités fiscales européennes imposant de plus en plus la facturation électronique, les grands consommateurs industriels et commerciaux se trouvent à un moment crucial. La transition vers Correspondance électronique des règlements (eSM) pourrait bientôt devenir essentielle, non seulement pour la conformité, mais aussi comme moyen d'améliorer la transparence opérationnelle.

L'adoption de l'eSM est motivée à la fois par des besoins opérationnels et par des exigences réglementaires. Alors que l'UE préconise la facturation numérique dans tous les secteurs, eSM aide les grandes organisations à s'aligner sur des processus numériques standardisés, en garantissant la conformité tout en améliorant la gestion de l'énergie.

‍

Voici ce qui se passe en Europe :

• Italie: La facturation électronique est obligatoire depuis 2019, ce qui en fait l'un des premiers leaders de la transformation numérique.

• Allemagne: À compter du 1er janvier 2025, toutes les entreprises doivent être en mesure de recevoir des factures électroniques, reflétant ainsi la transition nationale vers la conformité numérique.

• France: À partir de 1er septembre 2026, les grandes et moyennes entreprises seront tenues d'émettre des factures électroniques, suivies par les PME et les microentreprises 1er septembre 2027.

‍

Le système de facturation Harmoniq d'Utilidex propose les outils robustes dont les consommateurs industriels et commerciaux ont besoin pour rester en conformité et obtenir des informations opérationnelles. Voici comment procéder :

• Produire des factures numériques prise en charge des formats de factures électroniques pour une ingestion simple dans des systèmes de financement et de paiement tiers via une API.

• Règlement et conformité automatisés: Le système d'Utilidex aligne automatiquement les transactions sur les besoins énergétiques réels, minimisant ainsi le risque de transactions inégalées et aidant les entreprises à gérer leur consommation d'énergie de manière plus précise.

• Piste d'audit complète: Avec des journaux détaillés de toutes les transactions d'équilibrage et des ajustements de règlement, Utilidex fournit aux grandes entreprises une visibilité complète, ce qui contribue à garantir la conformité réglementaire et offre la possibilité d'optimiser la consommation d'énergie.

‍From Measurement to Management

Data collection is only the beginning. The real value comes from turning that data into actionable insight.

With fuels, oils, power, and gas now presented together, organisations can begin to ask more strategic questions:

• How do fuel-based emissions compare to those from grid electricity?

• Which sites or vehicle fleets present the greatest decarbonisation opportunity?

• How would switching from heating oil to renewable heat, or from diesel to EVs, affect total Scope 1 and 2 emissions?

• What would be the financial impact of such transitions under different energy-price scenarios?

This capability moves Utilidex customers beyond simple measurement toward decision-enablement. The platform becomes not just a system of record but a system of advantage, a digital partner that informs investment choices and supports the roadmap to net zero.

Enabling the Energy Transition

The integration of fuel data also empowers energy suppliers, consultants, and partners to play a more proactive role in their clients’ decarbonisation journeys.

‍

For Suppliers

Suppliers can now understand the fuel mix across an entire portfolio, not just the electricity or gas they provide. This insight allows them to support carbon-saving initiatives aligned with customer goals, such as renewable-heat projects, gas substitution strategies, or hybrid energy solutions. By aligning commodity supply with decarbonisation targets, suppliers become trusted partners in the energy transition rather than mere providers of kilowatt-hours or litres.

For End Customers

End users, whether public-sector estates, industrial operators, or multi-site corporates, gain a holistic picture of their current position. They can assess their total emissions baseline, model potential pathways, and set priorities grounded in data. Without this integrated view, it’s impossible to know which actions deliver the greatest impact or return on investment.

For Carbon Consultants and Engineers

Engineering-led carbon consultants can overlay technical feasibility assessments onto the same dataset, supporting clients in identifying retrofit options, fuel-switching opportunities, and new-build energy strategies. A unified platform reduces time spent consolidating data and allows more time for what matters, designing practical pathways to decarbonisation.

Compliance and Reporting: Simplified and Strengthened

Reporting is another area of immediate value. With Utilidex, organisations no longer need to juggle multiple spreadsheets or separate systems to satisfy disclosure obligations.

The platform brings natural gas, power, and fuels into a single reporting environment, producing automated outputs aligned with regulatory and voluntary frameworks. This unified dataset supports:

• Streamlined SECR and ESOS submissions with verified emission factors.

• Corporate ESG reporting under CDP, GRESB, and TCFD frameworks.

• Consistent audit trails for internal and external verification.

• Portfolio benchmarking, enabling performance comparison across regions, assets, and business units.

As regulatory requirements tighten, the ability to demonstrate accuracy, completeness, and traceability in carbon data will become a key differentiator. Utilidex provides that assurance.

A Step Toward Predictive Carbon Management

Looking ahead, integration opens the door to predictive and AI-assisted carbon management. With all commodities consolidated in one environment, Utilidex can apply machine learning and analytics to forecast future emissions trajectories, test “what-if” transition scenarios, and model cost-to-carbon trade-offs.

This evolution mirrors what’s happening in energy trading, where the shift from reactive systems to predictive intelligence is transforming decision-making. The same principle applies here: carbon data that once provided visibility can now deliver foresight.

Imagine being able to see not just where your emissions have been, but where they are likely to go under different procurement or investment strategies. That is the future Utilidex is enabling.

From Visibility to Decision-Enablement

For years, carbon reporting has been about compliance, producing spreadsheets, aligning factors, and submitting disclosures. But as the energy transition accelerates, organisations need tools that don’t just report but guide.

By combining fuels, oils, natural gas, and electricity within a single system, Utilidex transforms carbon accounting into carbon intelligence. The platform delivers:

• Visibility – comprehensive data coverage across all energy sources.

• Insight – unified analytics to identify reduction opportunities.

• Enablement – actionable information to support investment and operational decisions.

This marks a fundamental shift, from monitoring to managing, from compliance to strategy.

Defining the Next Era of Energy Data Management

The addition of fuels and oils data is more than a feature; it’s a statement about where the industry is headed. Energy management is evolving from siloed monitoring to integrated, AI-ready ecosystems that inform every stage of the decarbonisation journey.

In this new era:

• Suppliers collaborate with customers to design low-carbon supply portfolios.

• Consultants use unified data to deliver engineering-based transition roadmaps.

• Customers gain the confidence to make investment decisions backed by accurate, consolidated evidence.

As energy systems become more complex, decentralised, digitised, and decarbonised, the ability to connect commodities, convert data, and create actionable intelligence will define leadership.

Looking Ahead

At Utilidex, our goal is simple: to make carbon and energy data work harder for our customers. The expansion of our platform to capture fuels and oils brings us another step closer to that goal.

By delivering a unified view across electricity, gas, and fuels, we help organisations turn information into insight and insight into action, supporting smarter, faster, and more confident decisions on the path to net zero.

This is not just about better reporting; it’s about empowering the energy transition, one dataset at a time.
