Five services. One method underneath all of them. We start with measurement, because you cannot make a business case out of a hunch.
Every one of these services is chosen and sized on the basis of what your own data says. Nothing on this page is sold as a package. Some sites need three of these. Most start with one.
Every meter, machine and legacy system on one platform — including the equipment that speaks a different protocol to everything else.
Your site has meters from three different eras, a BMS that covers part of the building, machinery that reports in a protocol nothing else understands, and a monthly supplier bill that tells you what you spent but nothing about where it went. Asking which line costs the most to run turns into a week of manual work.
Without submetering you are managing energy at the level of the whole site, which means you can only ever negotiate on price. Every genuine saving we have found was invisible at site level and obvious at machine level. You are not short of savings. You are short of resolution.
We bring every meter, machine and legacy system onto one platform — including the awkward equipment. Long-range wireless networks such as LoRaWAN mean sensors can go where cabling cannot, and we use as much of what is already installed as possible rather than ripping it out.
One site was using 58% of its total energy outside working hours, with nobody in the building, because the ovens had never been switched off and no one had quantified what that cost. Another was running heating and air conditioning against each other continuously. A third had a 60kW solar array sitting switched off and unnoticed. None of these were discoverable from a bill.
Guaranteed savings based on physics rather than behaviour change, forecast from your own site data before anything is installed.
UK grid voltage frequently arrives at industrial sites well above what any equipment on the floor requires. 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 range? So when we measure 252 volts coming into a building, that excess does not make anything work better. It becomes heat, it shortens asset life, and you pay for every unit of it.
This is the least glamorous saving available and one of the most reliable. Unlike behavioural programmes it does not depend on anyone remembering to do anything, and unlike a capital replacement project it does not require you to change how you produce. Every month you leave it is money converted to heat in a switch room.
We deliver automatic voltage optimisation and power factor correction through EnergyAce, who have specialised in this since 2002 and have never once had to pay out against a predicted saving. The forecast is produced from your own site data before anything is installed, and it is guaranteed.
Seven verified installations delivered with EnergyAce, totalling £72,728 in annual savings and 79 tonnes of CO₂. The full table is below, shown by segment.
All figures trace to the EnergyAce source documents. Shown by segment rather than by name, at our clients’ request.
The brewery also released 28 kVA and 38 amps of distribution capacity, which for a site considering expansion can be worth considerably more than the electricity saving.
Nobody installs a power station and then ignores it for twenty-five years. Generation visible next to consumption, and a maintenance record an insurer will accept.
Except that is more or less what happens. An array goes on the roof, it generates for a while, and then it becomes part of the building. We have found a site running two arrays with two separate logins and no visibility of one of them at all. We have found a 60kW array that had simply stopped, unnoticed, for long enough that the lost generation ran into serious money.
Sixty kilowatts is roughly twenty kettles boiling continuously. An array that has quietly dropped offline is not a neutral event — it is an asset you paid for producing nothing while you buy the same energy from the grid. There is a safety dimension too: insurers are increasingly concerned about fire risk associated with rooftop solar, and “we assume it is fine” is not a maintenance record.
We bring existing arrays into the same monitoring platform as everything else on site, so generation is visible next to consumption rather than behind a separate manufacturer login. Alongside that we put a full digital maintenance archive in place, delivered with our partner Auto Watt: every inspection, repair and certificate held against the asset, accessible by scanning a QR code on a plaque beside the array.
For anyone who has tried to produce five years of maintenance history for an insurer at short notice, the digital archive alone justifies it.
Where heat is the load, electricity is the wrong answer. Biomass where there is wood waste to feed it, thermal storage where there is generation to bank.
If your process needs heat, electrifying it is expensive and often impractical. And if you are a joinery, a furniture manufacturer, a sawmill or an estate with forestry, you are very likely paying twice: once to have wood waste taken away, and again to buy the fuel that heats the building.
Heat-intensive processes are where the largest untouched energy costs sit on most industrial sites, and they are routinely left out of decarbonisation plans because the obvious solutions do not fit. Meanwhile the fuel is going into a skip.
Two routes, depending on what the site has. Biomass boilers where there is a heat demand and a wood waste stream to feed it — the performance is in the filtration, and with the right specification emissions are controlled to a standard that makes the technology genuinely net zero. Or high-temperature thermal storage where the site generates excess energy it currently exports or wastes, turning intermittent generation into something you can dispatch.
Specification is the whole job, which is precisely why biomass should not be bought on price. Modern systems are a long way from the reputation the technology picked up from a handful of badly specified installations.
Funded green industry training that sends your team back with a written action plan for your own site, not a certificate.
Your team is being asked to deliver on net zero commitments with skills the organisation has never had to hire for. Hydrogen, carbon capture, energy management and industrial decarbonisation are all now board-level topics, and the people expected to act on them are largely learning as they go.
Most training in this space produces a certificate and nothing else. People come back to the same site with the same constraints and no clearer view of what to do on Monday.
We deliver green industry skills bootcamps, funded through the government’s Skills Bootcamp programme via local authorities, so cost to the employer is minimal or nil. Sessions are delivered by the suppliers who actually build and install these technologies, not by generalist trainers — and every delegate finishes with dedicated supplier time to produce a written action plan for their own site.
A document their manager can act on — not a certificate.
That is what the assessment is for. Send your half-hourly data and we will tell you which of these five is worth your attention, in what order, and roughly what each is worth.
If the answer is that you are already running efficiently, we will tell you that too.
