In the current conditions of global transformation of the energy sector and growing market instability, the issue of optimizing energy consumption planning is becoming critical, especially for the category of significant consumers. This study is devoted to a comprehensive review and systematization of existing methods and software tools aimed at effective management and strategic planning of energy resources of industrial and commercial enterprises. The review analyzes in detail modern approaches to Demand Side Management. In particular, it considers targeted demand management and the influence of price signals on the formation of load schedules, which allows minimizing costs during peak hours. Special attention is paid to intelligent response systems that provide automated adaptation of consumption to changes in the network. The concept of «energy as a service» (EaaS) is studied, which offers a transition from simple supply to comprehensive energy efficiency management. A significant part of the research focuses on innovative technologies, such as Digital Twins, which allow modeling energy consumption scenarios without risks for real equipment, as well as the role of demand aggregators and energy cooperatives in integrating consumers into wholesale electricity markets. In addition to methodological aspects, the research reviews specialized software tools that provide technical implementation of the above methods. There has been formed a summary characteristic, which includes a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each tool according to the criteria of functionality, implementation cost and complexity of integration into the existing infrastructure of the enterprise. The conclusion of the study is the formation of a clear list of requirements and current tasks based on the identified limitations of existing solutions. Solving the outlined tasks will create the prerequisites for the development of new control algorithms, which will provide significant consumers with the opportunity not only to reduce economic losses from unbalanced consumption, but also to increase the overall energy sustainability of the business.
