Save carbon.
Save costs!
Most sites are paying for energy they never use. Independent business energy monitoring and efficiency solutions for UK manufacturers — starting with the half-hourly data you already have.

Start with the data, act on what it shows. Nothing here is sold as a package. Some sites need three. Most start with one.
One platform for every meter, machine and legacy system on site — including the equipment that speaks a different protocol to everything else. The great unifier.
Guaranteed savings based on physics rather than behaviour change. Delivered with EnergyAce, who have never once failed to hit a predicted saving since 2002.
Nobody installs a power station and then ignores it for twenty-five years. Except that is more or less what happens. Real performance data and a maintenance record an insurer will accept.
Where heat is the load, electricity is the wrong answer. Biomass boilers where there is wood waste to feed them, and high-temperature thermal storage where there is generation to bank.
Funded green industry, hydrogen and carbon capture bootcamps. Delegates leave with a written action plan for their own site, not a certificate.
That is what the assessment is for. Send your half-hourly data and we will tell you which of the five is worth your attention, in what order, and roughly what each is worth.

heating and air conditioning, running against each other around the clock
The moment that number existed, it stopped being a habit and became a decision. Measure it, quantify it in pounds, and the conversation with your stakeholders changes on its own.
And you are asked to do it without touching production. That is the bind. The savings are real, but the risk of a shutdown, a failed install or a supplier who does not understand your process is not worth the business case.
So energy gets treated as a fixed overhead, because exploring it feels more dangerous than paying it. Meanwhile the money is sitting there in plain sight.
A few of the things we find most often. None of them are unusual, and none of them were anyone’s fault.
Voltage running high
Did you know that UK devices can safely run on 220V because European standardisation grouped the UK’s 240V and Europe’s 220V into a single, flexible power grid range? So when 252V arrives at your site, the extra volts your equipment never needed leave as heat — and you pay for every one of them.
252 V measured on site
Plant left running overnight
Not carelessness. Nobody had ever put a number on what switching it off was worth.
58% used out of hours
Equipment fighting itself
Heating and air conditioning running against each other, continuously, in a plant room nobody visits.
Running 24 / 7
Leaky pneumatic systems
Compressed air escaping through worn fittings and split hoses. The compressor simply works harder to hold pressure, and nobody hears it over the line.
Leaks never clock off
Heaters running while doors are open
Space heating fighting an open loading bay door for the whole shift. The heat leaves as quickly as you buy it.
Paid for, then lost
87%
Pump speed is the cheapest lever there is
Reducing a pump speed by 50% delivers an 87% energy saving, while the pool is still monitored for water quality.
50% slower · 87% less energy
These are a handful of examples — there are many more. Your half-hourly data usually points straight at whichever of them is costing you most.

01
Send us your half-hourly data
You can pull it from your supplier’s portal in a few minutes. Upload it through the secure form and that is your part done.
02
We tell you what it is costing you
A clear assessment of where the money is going and which of it is recoverable, ranked by return. No charge, no obligation. Around ten working days.
03
You decide what to act on
Some sites start with a £500 fix. Some start with monitoring across every meter. It is your call, and it stays your call.
Brendan, on site — portrait in PPE, 4:5
Grafton Green brings together specialist suppliers, each best in their field, and puts an engineer between you and them who can tell which one your site actually needs.
That engineer is Brendan. A trained Mechatronic Engineer, with over 10 years experience in control and automation, followed by hydrogen and carbon capture consulting with Emerson. He has stood in enough plant rooms to know the difference between a saving on a spreadsheet and a saving you can bank.
Independence is the product
Recommendations backed up by data and expertise.
Production comes first
Every solution goes in around your operation, with ease of implementation with existing systems being a key consideration.
The first fix should be cheap
Lowest cost, highest return, first. It funds the next step.
Chorley Dragons’ Den winner
Backed with business support funding from the council.
Most manufacturers we speak to are entitled to digital adoption funding and have never applied. We will tell you if you qualify — whether or not you go on to work with us.
The assessment is free and there is no obligation attached to it. If it shows you are already running efficiently, that is what it will say.
You will hear from Brendan and nobody else. No panel of suppliers, no chain of follow-up calls, no third parties.
What we need from you
Half-hourly electricity data
Twelve months is ideal, three is enough. It takes a few minutes to export from your supplier’s portal.
Gas data, if you have it
Optional, but it widens what we can find — especially on heat-intensive processes.
Nothing leaves us
Encrypted in transit, stored securely outside the public web root, never shared with third parties.
