Energy Resilience Check

Today, energy is more than just a cost factor – it is the basis of your ability to act. Whether in production, IT or logistics, even short interruptions in supply can have noticeable economic consequences.

The Energy Resilience Check shows you quickly and in a structured manner how robust your current energy supply is and where potential risks lie.

With just a few details, you will receive a well-founded initial assessment of your supply security – clearly understandable, practical and tailored to your company. This allows you to see at a glance how well you are prepared for possible power failures and where targeted improvements are particularly worthwhile.

Once the check is complete, we won't leave you alone with the results: IE2S will help you interpret your results and work with you to develop concrete, actionable measures to make your energy supply more stable, secure and sustainable in the long term.

 

General energy supply & crisis preparedness
1. Are all key energy sources (e.g. electricity, gas, water, oil) and the most important machines/processes identified and documented – especially those that could pose risks to people or the environment?
2. Are there tested backup solutions for power outages (e.g. emergency generator, backup battery, energy storage system), and are supplies sufficient for their operation?
3. Is there a clear emergency plan specifying who does what in an emergency and how operations are restarted?
IT & Data Security
4. Are control systems (e.g. computers for machines or energy supply) connected to an emergency power system so that they continue operating during a power failure?
5. Is important data backed up regularly (e.g. in the cloud or on external storage), and can emergency workstations be activated quickly if required?
6. Are protective measures in place against cyberattacks and data theft (e.g. a cybersecurity strategy, secure access systems)?
Buildings & Infrastructure
7. Do critical building services (ventilation, heating, cooling) continue functioning in a crisis or during a power outage?
8. Are there emergency lights or alarm systems that operate independently of the mains power supply (e.g. using batteries)?
9. Can your own energy generation system (e.g. solar panels, combined heat and power units) be used in the event of a malfunction, and are they protected against weather, heat or vandalism?
Processes, Employees & Communication
10. Can your most important work processes continue in the event of a power outage (e.g. through remote work or backup procedures)?
11. Do employees know how to act in an emergency (e.g. internet failure, server shutdown), and are there clear communication channels for crisis situations?
12. Are emergency plans reviewed regularly and adapted to new technologies, legislation, or emerging risks?
Legal Framework & Financial Security
13. Are there any insurance policies that cover damage resulting from power failures or energy shortages?
14. Are contracts with energy suppliers reviewed to ensure that scenarios involving supply interruptions are considered?
15. Are there emergency contracts or financial reserves available to purchase additional fuel or energy in the event of an emergency?
Monitoring & Continuous Improvement Process (CIP)
16. Is energy consumption measured regularly so that it is clear which devices or areas are most critical during an emergency?
17. Are regularly drills carried out (e.g. power outage test), and are the results documented?
18. Are existing emergency plans regularly improved and updated based on these test results?
