[EN] The German industry sector is a major consumer of electricity and heat, significantly influencing the country’s energy landscape and environmental foot print. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate whether the electricity and heat con sumption patterns within this sector can be estimated using mainly the Han delsregister, as it is an openly available dataset of Germany’s industrial and non-industrial companies. The methodology applied integrates data analysis to use energy consump tion datasets available, to then identify the sources and locations of energy consumption in Germany. This is to serve as a means to evaluate whether these locations’ energy consumption can be correlated with the financial data available in Germany’s commercial register, the Handelsregister. Thus giving insight into the extent and quality of openly available information of this source. The findings are reflected in various formats and are thoroughly analyzed, in order to identify whether financial data can correlate with energy consump tion as a whole, or exclusively to certain industry sectors or company types. Despite these insights, the thesis also identifies a lack of comprehensive data, leading to the use of estimations to fill information gaps. The accuracy of these estimations is critically evaluated by comparing them with other found data sources. This approach underscores the importance of improving data transparency and availability to enhance the precision of energy consumption analyses. All in all, this thesis contributes to identifying whether financial data of energy-intensive industrial companies can correlate with energy consumption, presenting a data source which can provide additional information to be used for optimizing energy use and supporting the transition towards a more sus tainable industrial sector.

[ES] El objetivo de este trabajo de fin de máster es crear una base de datos para registrar los puntos de mayor consumo de energía eléctrica y térmica en Alemania, de cara a contribuir a la gestión energética y a desarrollar un plan para un sistema de energía regional. Esto se llevará a cabo mediante la estimación y análisis del consumo de las empresas del Sector Industrial en Alemania con la información disponible en bases de datos públicas. La precisión de la base de datos finalmente obtenida será evaluada y comparada con otras fuentes de información.
