True Platform

Core Features

The True Platform evaluates energy procurement and sustainability investments within a single analytical framework. By integrating consumption data, procurement costs, and market forecasts, it models the financial and environmental outcomes of potential projects. This approach allows organisations to assess renewable technologies and efficiency initiatives using operational data and commercially realistic assumptions. Key features capabilities:

• Carbon and Emissions Tracking – Enables organisations to monitor Scope 1-3 emissions, establish baseline years, and track progress toward net-zero targets.

• Energy Procurement Analytics – Integrates consumption data, commodity prices, and contract information to support informed purchasing strategies.

• Project Viability Analysis – Evaluates sustainability initiatives by modelling financial return, carbon savings, and payback periods using actual energy costs.

• Scenario and Financial Modelling – Allows users to test different start dates, price forecasts, and implementation timelines when planning energy transition projects.

• Renewable Technology Comparison – Compares different energy technologies and supplier proposals to identify the most suitable options for decarbonisation projects.

• Energy Data Dashboards – Centralises consumption, cost, and emissions data in dashboards that provide visibility into energy usage and procurement performance.

Closing Insights

The True Platform was developed by True Group, the trading name of Open Energy Market, a firm specialising in energy procurement and sustainability strategy. The platform emerged from the company’s advisory work with businesses seeking to align energy purchasing decisions with decarbonisation commitments. As organisations began setting net-zero targets, many struggled to evaluate renewable technologies and efficiency projects using accurate financial assumptions. True was designed to address this gap by linking procurement data—such as actual energy costs, commodity prices, and consumption patterns—with emissions data and sustainability planning tools.

This integration distinguishes the platform from conventional energy management systems that primarily focus on monitoring consumption. True instead emphasises investment planning, allowing users to model project returns, compare renewable suppliers, and forecast the financial and carbon impact of sustainability initiatives before committing capital. The system can also incorporate market intelligence and energy price forecasts, helping organisations anticipate future costs while designing long-term energy strategies.

In practice, the platform is often used alongside True Group’s advisory services, which support organisations in areas such as power purchase agreements, renewable technology deployment, and regulatory compliance. By combining analytical software with procurement expertise, the platform aims to help companies build commercially viable pathways toward net-zero energy strategies.
