The increasing cost of fossil fuels and the government's initiatives to reduce our carbon emissions mean that there is every incentive for organisations to check out their energy usage and costs.

It is widely accepted that many companies can make significant savings by introducing a formal Energy Management System. Nobody wants to be donating unnecessarily to the profits of the energy companies and savings in this area translate directly to the bottom line - serving to increase your profit and improve your cash flow.

What it Entails

At EDP, our approach is to undertake a comprehensive review of all the ways in which you use energy and to identify alternatives that are less expensive and are less damaging to the environment. The good news is that, more often than not, these two aims go hand in hand and it is possible to achieve them without sacrificing any of the benefits you currently enjoy.

In our experience, overall cost reductions in the region of 20% to 40% are not uncommon and with careful planning, it is possible to see a full return on investment in the first year.

In-depth Knowledge

Of course to achieve this, you need a good knowledge about how your sector typically uses energy, what low energy alternatives are available, UK energy suppliers and the range of contracts they offer, government legislation and the changing scene of energy markets and technological innovations. Few organisations have this kind of expertise in house, but the good news is that EDP can provide this expertise in order to allow you to achieve a fast return on your investment.

From early on in a project, it is normal to implement an automated monitoring and reporting system that provides clear information about current and future energy usage. Initially, this serves to demonstrate the practical benefits you are achieving as you introduce energy saving measures. Longer term, it allows you to keep a check on your energy usage to ensure it is always firmly under control.
