Effective energy management
Meeting new challenges in corporate energy
Energy costs continue to be a significant overhead for UK businesses and public sector organisations. Historically, the main challenge was managing changes in wholesale energy costs. However, with increasing levels of industry regulation, political uncertainty and infrastructure development, managing the way you use your energy and when you buy it has become more critical than the tender itself.

Bureau Services
Our comprehensive bureau services include:
Carbon reporting and Compliance
Energy users are required to meet an increasing number of targets when it comes to reducing emissions and complying with legislation. This often has additional benefits, such as helping you use less and lower your carbon footprint. Obtaining voluntary accreditations will further help to illustrate your sustainability credentials and ensure you’re operating to acceptable industry standards.
We can help you by:
- Fully managing compliance activities and associated reporting
- Ensuring you hit deadlines and avoid fines
- Maximising opportunities for positive CSR successes
- Proactively advising on your consumption to lessen the burden of some of the schemes
Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
Our team of in-house ESOS Lead Assessors and ISO 50001 lead auditors have close ties to DECC and the Environment Agency and will help you make the most of ESOS.
Climate Change Agreement (CCA)
Complying with the CCA scheme means you can receive a CCL discount on your electricity and gas bills. We’ll manage your compliance and regularly report on progress.
Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)
Our CRC compliance management service eases the burden of getting to grips with this complex legislation aimed at cutting CO2 emissions. We can provide essential guidance and support to help you avoid costly penalties.
Carbon Footprinting
Using in-house built tools will help determine whether to include carbon or GHG emissions in your carbon footprint calculation. Once defined, we’ll help you reduce your emissions and improve your CSR credentials.
UK GHG Mandatory Reporting
We’ll work with you to seamlessly collate, compile and analyse your emissions data so you can include them in your Director’s Annual Report and Accounts.
Electricity Market Reform (EMR)
EMR will result in new charges being passed on to business users. One of the best ways to minimise the risk and cost increases is to reduce or control your energy usage.
Metering solutions
We manage outstanding relationships across most metering providers, ensuring that we can help source and install practical metering solutions for your electricity, gas and water requirements. If you want to understand the detail, we can provide level monitoring and provide access to real-time data. All of the valuable information we track on your behalf can be viewed minute-by-minute on our sophisticated online software.
