We optimise your utility procurement
Gas and Electricity
Gas and electricity prices fluctuate intra-day, every day. A pro-active energy procurement strategy is essential for your business to control energy costs.
Business requirements and attitude towards Risk is individual to you.
We offer the following procurement solutions, all of which have advantages and disadvantages.
Fixed Price Procurement
Bespoke Flexible Procurement
Aggregated Basket Procurement
We discuss the energy procurement strategies available to you and provide an impartial recommendation based on your business needs.
Water
Water markets in England and Scotland are now deregulated meaning your business can switch suppliers for a better deal.
As well as reductions on rates water suppliers can include value add services including automatic meter readers, electronic invoicing and an account manager as a single point of contact.
We work with you to identify the most cost effective water procurement solution for your business.
Energy Taxes
As part of the UK’s strategy towards a cleaner, greener future the amount of clean energy being produced is increasing. In 2019, for the first time in history more of the UK’s energy was generated by renewable or green energy sources.
Whilst this is great for the UK’s carbon footprint there is a downside for your business. As more renewable energy is produced, the amount of money required to pay renewable energy generators increases.
Green taxes now account for approximately 30% of a typical business gas and electricity invoices. Businesses across most sectors are eligible for discounts and rebates on these energy taxes.
Green taxes are expected to continue to increase over the next three to five years. Different businesses are entitled to different energy tax rebates and exemptions.
We ensure you and your business are optimising any energy tax discounts which you are eligible for.
Compliance
Businesses across all sectors are captured by legislative compliance.
Energy compliance is becoming increasingly complex. From ESOS to SECR and from TM44 Air conditioning inspections to ISO 50:001 energy performance standards.
Our experts ensure you are aware of any compliance you and your business is captured by. We provide a tailored, bespoke solution to ensure you and your company adhere to the compliance in a commercially effective way.
Legislation includes:
- Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
- Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)
- ISO 50:001
- TM44 Air conditioning inspections
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
Data
To reduce consumption we first need to understand where, when and how your utilities are being consumed within your business.
Data turns your utilities from an intangible fixed cost to a tangible cost which can be measured and influenced.
We will work with you to identify and implement the correct data solution.
Energy Audits
We conduct detailed site audits, presenting recommendations and solutions to reduce your utility consumption.
We then work with you to implement recommendations and sustain these savings, solutions include;
- Identifying waste
- Tailored consumption reduction, for example lighting upgrades, BMS controls, peak charge cost avoidance and machine efficiency measures and upgrades
- On-site generation solutions
- Behavioural changes
