Cut your unit rate. Then cut the units.
Most business energy savings live in two places: a better contract, and the bill validation nobody runs against it. We do both — plus the half-hourly intelligence and demand-response revenue that's been sitting in your meter all along.
Twelve services, one platform, one bill.
Most clients start with two — usually procurement and validation — and add the rest as the wins compound.

Reverse-auction across 28 suppliers. Fixed, flex, or basket.

Every line of every invoice — capacity, KVA, climate change levy, the lot.
HH data analysis
Daily HH ingest, anomaly detection, league-table benchmarking.
DSR / flexibility
Dynamic Containment, Capacity Market, triad avoidance.
Risk hedging

Every invoice. Every line. Every site.
Suppliers make billing errors at a rate of about 1 in every 8 invoices. Most are small. A handful are catastrophic. We catch them all — and recover the cash.
-
Daily HH ingestDirect from your DC/DA. We don't wait for your supplier to send a PDF.
-
Tariff-by-tariff reconciliationDay, night, EBRS, capacity, KVA, CCL, FIT, RO — checked line by line.
-
Recovery handled end-to-endWe raise the dispute, supply the evidence, and chase the credit note.
-
No-win-no-feeYou only pay a share of recovered money — never a retainer for nothing found.
Daily data. Daily alerts. Decisions in hours, not weeks.
We ingest your half-hourly data direct from your DC/DA every morning at 09:00. By 09:15, you have anomaly alerts, league tables across sites, and a forecast vs. actual on every tariff component.
-
Anomaly alertsSpot a chiller stuck on, a meter mis-config, or a forgotten HVAC schedule — same day.
-
Cross-site league tablesIdentical sites benchmarked against each other. Outliers get investigated, not averaged.
-
Forecast vs actualDaily and monthly variance against your contract, your budget, and prior year.
Recharge your tenants — automatically, accurately, in their currency.
For multi-tenant sites, our MID-approved sub-meter network feeds usage and pricing directly into a recharge engine. Tenants see their own bill, you see consolidated revenue, and reconciliation happens monthly without a finance team touching a spreadsheet.
-
MID-approved metersLegally billable to tenants under the Measuring Instruments Directive.
-
Per-tenant tariff designDifferent tenants on different blends — flat, time-of-use, or pass-through.
-
Auto invoicing & GoCardlessMonthly invoice generation, Direct Debit collection, automated chasing.
-
Tenant self-service portalReal-time usage, downloadable invoices, usage trend graphs.
We also handle the bills nobody talks about.
Water and waste are the two utilities most likely to be overcharged — partly because they're less actively managed, partly because the markets are messier. We treat them with the same line-by-line scrutiny.
Wholesale water market — switching, validation, leak detection.
- Switch retailer for a fixed wholesale margin discount
- Validate every invoice line — supply, sewerage, surface drainage
- Reclaim historic surface-drainage overcharges (often £k per site)
- Daily-read AMR for leak detection on suitable meters
Audit-grade waste contracts and ESG reporting.
- Re-tender across 14+ national and regional waste carriers
- Lift segregation and recycling rates with on-site audits
- Audit-quality duty-of-care and waste transfer documentation
- Waste data feeds straight into your SECR / CDP report
