The journey/ worked example
Where you are.
What moves next.
One plant, walked stage by stage: a 10 MW beverage site in Karnataka on grid electricity and gas-fired steam, taken through open access, storage, heat electrification and 15-minute settlement. Every figure on screen is recomputed from the same model as you change the inputs — nothing is a stated result.
A worked illustration, not a client case study and not a savings calculator. The numbers are internally consistent for this plant; yours are established in a baseline.

Stage 1 of 5
Where the example plant starts: grid, gas and diesel
A 10 MW beverage plant that buys everything and optimises nothing. Electricity comes from the DISCOM at ₹8 a unit, steam from three PNG boilers and distribution from a diesel fleet. Carbon sits in three separate budgets, and no one owns the number.

Assumptions
Grid ₹8.00 · RE share 38% · 0.71 tCO₂/MWh (CEA, south grid) · PNG ₹55/SCM at 1.94 kgCO₂/SCM · Solar ₹3.50 and wind ₹3.80 ex-bus · OA charges ₹1.00/kWh · Steam 100,800 t/yr at 2.6 GJ/t
Decarbonisation is now the cheaper path
Nothing in this example is a pilot. Every lever is commercially available today, and each one can be bought as a service or funded under ESCO shared savings, so the plant pays for delivered electricity and heat rather than equipment. The blended cost falls at every stage. Technology is not the constraint.

The six stages/ in general
The same order,
for any plant.
The worked example above runs a specific site. The stages underneath it are the general shape of the work — and measurement runs through all six, not just the last.
Baseline
Where are we today?
Electricity, fuel, heat, load patterns, cost and emissions — measured, not estimated. Portable heat metering goes on the loops that matter.
Plan
What should we do first?
Priorities, dependencies, investment and a phased business case. Sequencing follows the economics of your state and your process, not a template.
Transition electricity
How do we source cleaner electricity?
Intrastate and ISTS solar and wind, rooftop solar, storage and green-market purchase — orchestrated together so the landed cost, not the headline tariff, is what falls.
Transition heat
Which fuel uses can we replace?
Heat recovery first, then heat pumps on duties up to 120 °C, then thermal storage so heat is made in the cheapest blocks. Higher-temperature duties stay on fuel and are named as such.
Operate
How does the system work together?
ergOS meters electricity, steam, fuel and water every 15 minutes, forecasts, schedules and dispatches heat pumps and storage against price.
Measure and disclose
How do we demonstrate progress?
esgOS turns the same metered record into Scope 1, 2 and 3, BRSR Core-format, CBAM, CDP and customer disclosures — traceable back to the meter.
In short/ The journey
The journey is an interactive worked example that walks one 10 MW beverage plant in Karnataka through six stages, from grid electricity and gas-fired steam to green electricity, electrified heat and metered disclosure.
Six stages: baseline, plan, transition electricity, transition heat, operate, and measure and disclose. Each stage carries levers — tariff, boiler efficiency, fleet size, renewable capacity, heat pump share — and recomputes the plant's cost, renewable share and carbon from one model. It is a worked illustration, not a client case and not a savings calculator; a plant's own numbers come from a baseline.
What to take away
- The worked plant is a 10 MW beverage site in Karnataka on DISCOM electricity and piped natural gas steam.
