Energy Operations

Energy is everyone's problem,
but no one's job.

We take responsibility for how your business generates, uses, stores, and buys energy — so costs fall and nothing slips between teams.

No commission. No kickbacks. You pay us directly.

Same energy. Smaller bill.

Signals

How energy typically gets managed

Most organisations don’t manage energy as a day-to-day function. Responsibility is spread across teams, and decisions are made in fragments.

01

Bills are reviewed without operational context

Energy bills are processed by finance teams who don’t operate the sites they relate to. Usage patterns, anomalies, and errors are hard to interpret — so issues are paid rather than investigated.

02

Contracts are renewed infrequently

Supplier contracts are revisited every few years, often under time pressure, by people who don’t live with the outcome day to day. Decisions are made quickly — then fixed for the duration.

03

Projects get stuck between teams

Solar, batteries, and other energy projects span finance, facilities, and operations. When benefits aren’t shared and ownership isn’t clear, progress slows and decisions drag.

These patterns aren’t accidental. They’re what happens when energy isn’t owned as a function.

Control

What actually drives energy costs

Energy costs aren’t driven by a single decision. They’re shaped by where energy comes from, when it’s used, and how it’s priced.

Generate

Generate

On-site supply

Produce energy where it’s used to reduce reliance on the grid.

Shift & avoid

Shift & avoid

Control when energy is used

Use storage and flexibility to move consumption away from peak periods.

Align

Align

Match usage to the market

Align time of day tariffs and contracts to how energy is actually used.

These elements don’t work in isolation. Control comes from managing them together — as a single function.

How it works

How we actually run your energy

We plug into your existing systems, keep leadership informed, and bring the right partners in only when they make sense.

Understand

Get a clear view of what’s driving cost before you change anything.

Build a reliable baseline

We ground decisions in reality by reconciling bills, contracts, and real site behaviour into a single view — not assumptions or supplier claims.

  • Bills reconciled — Standing charges, pass-through costs, and errors made visible.

  • Contracts checked — Terms, rollover risk, and meter classification verified.

  • Usage understood — How sites actually consume energy, not how models assume they do.

Identify

Prioritise the few changes that are worth time and capital.

Find the real leverage

We identify where energy spend can be influenced most. By weighing the real costs and benefits across all options, we focus effort on what will actually deliver — in the right order.

  • Options modelled — Feasibility and impact tested independently, not taken from supplier assumptions.

  • Constraints exposed — Technical limits and operational trade-offs surfaced early.

  • Impact ranked — Options compared side by side so the highest-value moves are clear.

  • Low-value ideas removed — Initiatives that won’t materially shift cost filtered out.

Deliver

Make sure promised savings actually show up on the bill.

MAKING SAVINGS REAL

We don’t stop at recommendations. As changes are delivered, we measure real performance against what was promised — and challenge suppliers until outcomes are proven on the bill.

  • Quotes challenged — Pricing, components and assumptions checked.

  • Delivery reviewed — Design, safety, and install quality tested before sign-off.

  • Work verified — Independent checks confirm suppliers delivered what was agreed.

  • Performance proven — Systems measured to ensure outcomes match claims.

Operate continuously

Manage energy as an ongoing function, not a one-off event.

Maintain control over time

We monitor performance, manage renewals, negotiate contracts, and surface opportunities — protecting savings and creating new value as conditions change.

  • Bills validated — Half-hourly data checked against contracts.

  • Assets optimised — Solar and batteries run to increase value.

  • Tariffs aligned — Import and export pricing kept matched to actual usage.

  • Value unlocked — Flexibility and storage used to create additional savings and/or revenue.

  • Systems maintained — Insurance compliant annual maintenance to ensure performance doesn’t decay.

Energy doesn’t stand still. Neither do we.

Incentives

Independence is the point.

We’re paid by you — not suppliers or technology vendors. That’s why renewal scepticism and project scrutiny aren’t bugs. They’re features.

Energy advice is usually shaped by incentives you never see. Ours isn’t.

ALWAYS TRANSPARENT

What this means in practice

Transparent pricing

Transparent pricing

You pay us directly, on a clear retainer — no margin stacking, volume bonuses, or supplier rebates.”

Unbiased recommendations

Unbiased recommendations

Every option is assessed on cost, risk, and outcome — not on who benefits if you say yes.

Continuous challenge

Continuous challenge

Renewals, projects, and suppliers are questioned by default — because our incentives don’t change after the contract is signed.

Next step

Energy doesn't need more tools.

It needs ownership.
