Energy Procurement & Risk Management

Our dedication and market intelligence means offering you informed knowledge and unbiased advice.

We will work closely alongside our clients to evaluate their Needs and Requirements, helping

lower overall tariff rates, give advice on more Structured Longer Term Contracts and move

their energy to Renewable Sources.

Our ability to use strong high level Supplier Relationships and Buying Power means we can directly access products unavailable to the market place. All clients, from SME to Large

Corporate level, benefit from bespoke energy management and an End to End Service.This in turn gives the ability to tailor large multiple meters, single end date contract terms and focused overall

Energy Management Solutions.Having the ability to contract your supply to a number of different suppliers means that each

supplier has different sources of renewable energy generation. Wind, Hydro and Biomass being the most common, however some have more CSR Benefits (Corporate Social Responsibility)

than others.

Furthermore, Carbon Management Strategies can be implemented. These strategies offset the

carbon use of your energy in a cost effective way and show certification of these processes as being Carbon Neutral.


Fully Managed Tenders Timing Dedicated Support

Energy is currently more volatile than any other commodity market, exposing energy users to risk whether they operate fixed or flexible supply contracts. Quite simply, our focus is to secure the energy for your business at an optimal rate and with minimal risk.

Energy Procurement & Risk Management


Managed Services

Our aim is to aid our client over the long term. While a reduction in pence per kWh is an important first step, we consider a decrement in overall usage to be equally vital. Through our additional services we can give clients the tools, advice, and skills so that they can use energy in a more sustainable manner.

Beyond the procurement of gas and electricity, we offer a number of Additional Services.

We can supervise the implementation of AMR Meters (Automatic Meter Reading). AMR meters collect Half Hourly Data, which is then transferred directly to a central

database for billing, analysis and diagnostics. This provides suppliers with Accurate Data on Consumption, which in turn ensures that only Actual Usage Is Billed.

We provide continued Management Support which ensures that any issues areimmediately brought to the supplier's attention. These services include Bill Validation,

Historic Invoice Auditing, Data Collation, and kVA Analysis.


Energy Management & Consumption Reduction

Benefits

Set out a structure for continuous improvement with a robust management strategy that is tailored to your business.The management of energy is often neglected, even though there is considerable potential to save energy and reduce costs. Rising energy prices, climate change legislation and the need to be environmentally responsibleall require effective energy management.

Energy management is the systematic use of management and technology to improve the energy performance of an

organisation.To be fully effective, energy management needs to be integrated,

incorporating green and brown energy procurement whilst proactively improving

energy efficiency.

Saving energy makes business sense, and having a structured, co-ordinated and integrated approach maximises these benefits. Without good energy

management, cost-effective opportunities can be easily overlooked.

Energy management must be tailored to the nature and size of the organisation.

The effort exerted on energy management should be proportionate to the need and

the benefits gained.

Any organisation needs good management for long-term success and efficient operation, and energy

management is no different. However, the management of energy is often

neglected, even though there is considerable potential to save energy

and reduce costs.

Processes


Energy Management SystemsPoor energy management can commonly be the largest contributor to an organisation's energy spend.

Energy Management Systems (EnMS) are designed to provide a greater understanding of your company’s energy use, areas of energy wastage and continually monitor and improve your energy management processes. A standard EnMS consists of an integrated computer system designed for the automated control and monitoring of significant energy consumption through metering and sub metering of electricity, gas and water meters as well as building systems such as heating, air conditioning and lighting installations.

Identify and manage the risks surrounding your current and future energy supplies.

Determine an energy baseline of your organisation, and benchmark against similar sites.

Provide data to establish, implement and maintain energy policies, objectives and targets.

Reduce carbon emissions and improve the organisation's green credentials.

Meet government reduction targets and comply with energy and environmental legislation.


Sustainability ManagementWith expert analysis and insight, we can help you to make informed and decisive choices.

What we can Support You with

Working across a range of markets, including Business and Commercial Organisations, Development and Planning Companies, Housing Providers as well as with Producers and Manufacturers, gives us unrivalled skills.

Our methodology follows a life cycle analysis approach, as the impact of our operations in any field must be considered over a period of time and not at any single point. Understanding this will make a significant difference to people’s attitude towards sustainability and its implementation.

Carbon ManagementStrategies

“CLIMATE CHANGE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES OF MODERN TIMES. THEREFORE THE WORLD IS TAKING GLOBAL ACTION TO LIMIT CARBON EMISSIONS.”

Energy consumption produces carbon dioxide emissions e.g. power, lighting, heating, cooling offices, transport etc. Carbon offsetting strategies can be used to compensate for CO2 emissions by funding an equivalent CO2 saving elsewhere. Our partnership with Carbon Footprint Ltd, one of the UK’s most recognised offsetting companies, allows us to offer unparalleled services in this area.

Benefits at a GlanceReduce your environmental impact.Invest in reputable and viable carbon-offsetting projects.

Contribute to social development in the project communities.

Receive a certificate to publicly demonstrate your commitment to sustainability.

Carbon Neutral GasCarbon Neutral Gas from our supply partners gives your business an opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development and to take practical action towards minimising the environmental impact of your carbon emissions.

It offers a quality-assured, viable way for you to offset the carbon emissions released into the atmosphere as a result of your natural gas consumption.


ESOS (The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme)What is ESOS?

ESOS is likely to affect up to 10,000 businesses in the UK

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy assessment and energy saving identification scheme for large undertakings (and their corporate groups). The scheme applies throughout the UK, and Green Energy Consulting are taking a proactive stance to assist and offer a full range of compliance services.

All large companies (>250 employees or turnover >€50 million and a balance sheet >€43 million) will have to complete an assessment of their energy consumption every four years. Green Energy Consulting can offer energy audits with our approved Lead ESOS Assessors, producing a list of “cost-effective efficiency measures”, and this can then be signed off by the Board. The first audit must be completed & reported to the regulator(Environment Agency) by December 2015.

Management?

What are the benefits of ISO 50001 Energy Management?


Integrated Management Systems (IMS)Due to the close relationships in the methodology for implementing the different Management System Standards (MSS), manycompanies choose to integrate several of the systems together and conduct audits of the entire management system to ensure its effectiveness. These can include not only ISO 9001, 14001 and 50001, but also OHSAS 18001 (Health & Safety) and any other standard as set out in PAS 99-2012. Green Energy Consulting can design and manage an entire IMS system for your company from scratch using our skilled and experienced consultants, or add to and improve your existing management system.

This will offer benefits in the shape of:

Improved business focus.

A more holistic approach to managing business risks.

Less conflict between individual management

systems.

Reduced duplication and

bureaucracy.

More effective and efficient audits both internally and

externally.

Easier facilitation of the requirements of any new

MSS that the organization wishes to

adopt.

Water AuditingOften taken for granted by business users, the effective management of this vital commodity is a key area for saving.

Incorrect supply systems, leaks and complicated inaccurate drainage charges can severely impact on your bottom line.

Water Audit - How do we do it?Key information is entered in by our analysts forming a historical water and waste water bill database. Further historical information, if required, can be obtained from the relevant water and waste water supplier forming a completed picture of charges, water volumes, standing charges and other essential information.

Water and Waste Water AuditOur experienced water audit, consultants will carry out a comprehensive water audit of all component charges of the bills that make up the total charges, taking into account staff populations and water facilities on site, to include audit checks on:

• Surface water charges• Highways drainage charges• Site area charges• Property drainage charges• Band charges

Typical project work to save water where there may be high consumption:

• Underground water leaks• Water leak detection• Urinals flushing uncontrolled• Water saving with a water saving flush or a water saving toilet• High volume showers e.g. Leisure Centres, Hotels, Fitness Clubs• Inefficient water use in production• See where water conservation can take place• Faulty water meter• Incorrect meter readings• Clients metered supply feeds others in error• Overflowing tanks storage cisterns• Swimming pools leaking• Faulty pool make up systems
