the amount saved will vary from person to person but for many supermarkets savings can be in the range of 10–25%. Ways to achieve these savings are better procurement, smart metering and demand management through analysis of the data we gather to identify hidden efficiencies and lower rates are possible by locking in long term savings.

Not necessarily. We may be able to improve your current supplier agreement, or use our expertise to negotiate a better one. If it is more cost effective to switch suppliers, then we will facilitate the transition. Our goal is to save you money and get a reliable supply, regardless of which supplier you choose.
Half-hourly meters provide a record of your energy usage every 30 minutes, giving you the detail to know when and how energy is consumed. For supermarkets, for example, that means knowing your peak loads from refrigeration and lighting and making informed adjustments. It provides confidence you're billed accurately and meet UK energy regulations.
Smart meters help supermarkets remove estimated bills and allow them to see their energy usage in real time. They expose inefficiencies associated with freezers, chillers, and lighting for supermarkets. The information they provide can help supermarket managers reduce costs, gain insights into performance across different sites, and produce accurate sustainability reports, all while also enhancing their green brand image.
No, our services can be provided to independent stores in addition to large retailers. No matter how many branches you manage, be it one or one hundred, our services allow for both procurement and demand management and metering to be tailored to your scale of operations. All supermarkets should work toward managing energy smarter, whether they are large or small organizations.
Many clients note savings in the first billing cycle post-implementation of measures. Whether implementing smart meters, tariffs, or demand management to optimize, clients may benefit from initial cost savings immediately. Some projects may take longer to yield the benefits, like multi-site roll out projects, but the savings and compliance improvements will accumulate in time.
