Warehouses and 3PL: e-commerce and fulfillment
E-commerce logistics: prepare for your energy peaks
At the end of the year, sorters run at full capacity and packing areas fill up, often when electricity for conveyors and gas for heating are at their most expensive. Energy management for an e-commerce warehouse hinges on this peak: Sirenergies supports you in purchasing your energy and calibrating your power requirements.

Orders, workstation heating, and taxes: the fundamentals of fulfillment
Every additional order puts a strain on conveyors, lighting, and heating in preparation areas, while electricity taxes changed again in 2026. Your purchasing strategy must be based on these parameters.

The energy profile of a fulfillment site
Conveyors, packing stations, and staff heating drive the bill
A warehouse that consumes in sync with orders
In a fulfillment site, conveyors, sorters, scanners, and mobile robots draw from the power grid throughout all preparation hours, often across two or three shifts; this is in addition to lighting for packing stations and equipment charging. Gas heats the preparation areas where staff are concentrated. The Tertiary Decree recognizes this profile: it sets a target of 0.6 kWh/m²/year per point of surface area dedicated to custom packaging (Ministry of Ecological Transition, 2030 Absolute Values sheet for Logistics).
Our role: translating your activity into fair contracts
Your integrators manage the equipment; Sirenergies manages what you buy and pay for.
- Procurement: electricity and gas procurement with coverage levels tailored to your peak season.
- Power: TURPE (public electricity grid usage tariff) power levels reviewed before each new line, and ATRD (third-party access to gas distribution networks) options verified for heating.
- Data: next-day consumption data for each site in Pilott, exportable for your client allocation keys.
Your energy challenges
The 3 energy challenges for e-commerce and fulfillment sites
A spike in orders in the middle of winter, automated lines added as you grow, process consumption that no one is measuring: a fulfillment site evolves faster than its energy contracts. Sirenergies brings these three areas back into sync with your operations, from energy pricing to the data you report.
Automatisation continue et énergivore
Les robots et convoyeurs fonctionnant en continu, l'automatisation peut alourdir la facture énergétique à surface égale, même si elle réduit la consommation par commande traitée.
Diagnostic énergie avant et après automatisation
Sirenergies analyse vos courbes de charge pour objectiver l'impact réel de votre automatisation sur votre facture, et pas seulement sur votre productivité.
Croissance rapide et multi-sites mal anticipée
La croissance rapide du secteur e-commerce se traduit souvent par l'ouverture de nouveaux sites sans stratégie d'achat d'énergie consolidée entre eux.
Achat et mise en concurrence des fournisseurs, en multi-sites
Sirenergies structure une stratégie d'achat consolidée sur l'ensemble de vos sites, existants et à venir.
Recharge de flotte de livraison en développement
Le déploiement de bornes de recharge pour les véhicules de livraison du dernier kilomètre ajoute un poste de consommation nouveau, à dimensionner avec la puissance souscrite du site.
Audit TURPE et dimensionnement de la puissance souscrite
Sirenergies évalue avec vous le dimensionnement de votre puissance souscrite au regard de vos besoins de recharge actuels et futurs.
Contractual and data expertise
Optimizing and managing contracts for your fulfillment sites
From conveyors running across multiple shifts to heating packing areas, Sirenergies handles electricity and gas for your e-commerce warehouses together. Our recommendations follow your commercial calendar: contract deadlines and power revisions are prepared ahead of the peak season.
Contractual and capacity audit
Review of your electricity and gas contracts and their deadlines, your subscribed power levels in relation to peak season spikes, and an annual analysis of excise duties and energy savings certificates (CEE) applicable to your warehouses.
Purchasing strategy and competitive bidding
Supplier procurement for a single site or your entire network, clause-by-clause offer analysis, and a recommendation report, with a price-fixing schedule that spreads your purchases over time. We have no capital ties to any suppliers.
Distribution optimization (TURPE / ATRD)
For electricity, we balance subscribed power versus overages based on your line speeds and charging needs. For gas, we verify the ATRD option for heating in preparation areas. We handle all interactions with grid operators.
Tariff modeling for automation
Budget simulation before adding a new sorting line, a fleet of mobile robots, or charging stations for your delivery vehicles, including the impact of shifting loads to off-peak hours and price risk analysis to factor energy costs into every project.
Pilott software platform
Next-day consumption by site, price alerts for electricity and gas, budget projections through to the next peak season, centralized contracts, and CSV or API exports for your management and billing tools.
Expert consulting dedicated to e-commerce
A dedicated consultant tracks your deadlines, coverage levels, and the regulations affecting your platforms, and revises your strategy whenever a new site opening or a new client changes your consumption profile.
Our platform
Pilott, simplified management to track your consumption
- Consolidate all your fulfillment sites and their delivery points into a single interface
- View consumption for each warehouse the next day, including during peak season
- Receive an alert when electricity or gas prices cross your thresholds
- Simulate your energy budget for the coming year and access all your contracts in one place

Methodology and definitions
What is energy consulting for an e-commerce warehouse?
What is the energy cost of an order prepared in December? For an e-commerce warehouse or fulfillment center, energy consulting begins with delivery costs: the electrical power required by automated lines and the gas capacity for heating, both adjusted to the commercial calendar. It also covers energy procurement and site-by-site monitoring, supported by Sirenergies consultants and the Pilott platform.
A market driven by purchase frequency
Online sales in France reached 196.4 billion euros in 2025 (Fevad, report published February 11, 2026). The warehouses preparing these orders concentrate their consumption over a few peak weeks.
What Sirenergies does
- Adjust TURPE (public electricity grid usage tariff) power settings before any automation expansion.
- Verify the ATRD (third-party access to gas distribution networks) options and capacity for heating systems.
- Prepare electricity and gas procurement ahead of the high season, then monitor each site on a daily basis.
What is the true energy cost of an order prepared at your facility?
A review of your invoices and your last high season is all it takes to calculate the potential savings. No obligation.
