Energy Procurement Solutions for the Manufacturing Sector
Keeping Your Production Running, Your Costs Down, and Your Carbon Footprint Lower
In manufacturing, energy isn’t just a utility bill – it’s a critical operational cost that directly impacts your bottom line. With volatile energy markets and increasing pressure to meet net zero targets, UK manufacturers need a strategic approach to energy procurement and management.
That’s where we come in.
Energy Procurement That Works for Manufacturing
Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with a range of UK suppliers, enabling us to secure the best value energy rates for manufacturers like you. We understand that your production schedules don’t allow for energy supply disruptions or budget surprises.
Our procurement service compares a range of prices across different contract lengths to guarantee the most competitive rates for your facility. Whether you’re running a single site or multiple manufacturing locations, we’ll take care of the entire process from start to finish, so you don’t have to take time out of your busy schedule to liaise with suppliers.
We secure:
- Competitive fixed-rate contracts that protect you from market volatility
- Flexible terms that align with your production cycles
- Volume agreements that reflect your manufacturing consumption patterns
- Renewable energy options that support your sustainability commitments
Bill and Supplier Management You Can Trust
Our services go beyond procurement. We offer a comprehensive supplier and bill management package to ensure you only pay for the energy you actually use – crucial when production volumes fluctuate.
What we manage for you:
- Monthly bill validation and error checking
- Consumption analysis and anomaly detection
- Meter reading coordination and accuracy verification
- Supplier communications and dispute resolution
- Contract renewal reminders and proactive market monitoring
- Invoice consolidation across multiple sites
Manufacturing facilities often have complex metering arrangements and high consumption profiles. We understand the nuances of half-hourly metering, maximum demand charges, and time-of-use tariffs. Our team ensures you’re on the right contract structure for your operational patterns and that billing accurately reflects your usage.
The Importance of Green Energy for UK Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector accounts for a significant portion of UK energy consumption, but it also represents one of the greatest opportunities for carbon reduction. Procuring green energy isn’t just about meeting corporate social responsibility goals – it’s becoming essential for business competitiveness.
Supply Chain Requirements – Major retailers and contractors are increasingly requiring suppliers to demonstrate their environmental credentials. Green energy procurement helps you meet these requirements and secure future contracts.
Regulatory Compliance – With the UK’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 and potential carbon pricing mechanisms, early adoption of renewable energy can protect your business from future regulatory costs.
Customer Expectations – End consumers are increasingly conscious of product carbon footprints. Manufacturing with renewable energy allows you to market lower-carbon products.
Cost Stability – Renewable energy contracts can offer price certainty while fossil fuel prices remain volatile. This helps with long-term budgeting and financial planning.
Employee Attraction and Retention – Demonstrating environmental commitment helps attract and retain skilled workers who want to work for responsible employers.
Future-Proofing – As the energy grid becomes greener, early adopters of renewable energy will be better positioned to adapt to the changing energy landscape.
Green Energy Options for Your Manufacturing Facility
We can help you procure:
- 100% renewable electricity backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs)
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for larger consumers
- Combined heat and power solutions where appropriate
- On-site generation support and integration
The transition to green energy doesn’t mean compromising on reliability or cost-effectiveness. We’ll find renewable energy solutions that meet your operational requirements whilst supporting your sustainability targets.
