A method monitors the energy cost for the production of a product lot using a manufacturing execution system (MES) that enables the operator of a production facility to optimize the production process in terms of energy costs. The method includes a) executing a production process being scheduled and controlled by the MES to produce the product lot; b) for each individual production step measuring the energy consumption over the course of the execution of the individual production step; c) creating a data model within the MES that correlates production specific data and the energy consumption data related to the product lot; d) defining commands to manage the production specific data and the energy consumption data wherein the commands are web APIs; and e) evaluating the production specific data and the energy consumption data and creating an energy consumption profile for the production process related to the product lot.
