To speed things up I want to set the ObjectiveCutOff and ObjectiveImprovementThreshold. I know the objective solution is in the order of 10^7 so everything above 10^8 can be discarded. However, this does not do anything. Even when I set the ObjectiveCutOff to 10^4, instead of giving an error because this is inveasible the solution stays the same, in the order of 10^7. The same problem occurs with ObjectiveImprovementThreshold.
options = optimoptions('intlinprog','AbsoluteGapTolerance',1,'RelativeGapTolerance',1,...
'ConstraintTolerance',0.001,'MaxTime',604800,'ObjectiveCutOff',...
10^8,'ObjectiveImprovementThreshold',0.0001);
[sol_4_months,fval_4_months] = solve(energyprob,'Options',options);
Does someone know hw to properly formulate these optimoptions?

I think that you have a mistaken view of what these options do. Consult the options to see what they really do. I don't think that they will help you speed the solution.
It sounds to me as if the thing that will most likely speed intlinprog for you is to give a feasible initial point with an objective function value that is of the order of the solution. That will cause the branch-and-bound process to do what you want. But it is often difficult to come up with a feasible initial point.
For other potential ways of speeding intlinprog, see Tuning Integer Linear Programming. Unfortunately, none of the techniques are guaranteed to help.
Good luck,

You can try it. I do not know whether it will help speed things.
