Financial savings exceed £100,000 per annum.
Continually updated the Agreement to ensure Koito receive maximum benefits from participation in the CCA
As a leading manufacturer carrying out energy intensive industrial processes at its 8-acre site, KEL is acutely aware of its responsibility to reduce its carbon footprint. It recognised the opportunity that entering a Climate Change Agreement (CCA) would offer in providing a legal framework with committed carbon reduction targets and a structured programme for energy saving.
Climate Change Agreements are voluntary agreements made between organisations and the government to reduce energy use and CO₂ emissions. Organisations that meet their targets receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL).
Zenergi’s Climate Change Engineering team worked closely with KEL to survey the industrial processes, identify all the eligible processes, and establish the initial Climate Change Agreement. Since then, as energy legislation has evolved, we have continually updated the Agreement to ensure Koito receive maximum benefits from participation in the CCA.
Zenergi provides a full management service that includes monitoring of energy performance, projection of carbon performance against target, and verification of financial savings. We collaboratively work with the on-site staff to maintain an energy efficiency project register and all of the evidence, information, and legal requirements for the Climate Change Agreement.
KEL continue to evolve, using the financial savings emanating from the reduction in CCL charges to install state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities incorporating low carbon technologies to drive down energy consumption and costs.
The financial savings, which exceed £100,000 per annum, are an excellent incentive to look at further low-carbon investments across the site
Koito drive to make all aspects of our operation efficient and sustainable. This Climate Change Agreement, along with our overall group policy direction, has been instrumental in focusing our attention

Glenmorangie sought a focused solution to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs. By working closely with the team at Zenergi, the strategic building optimisation resulted in a 59% reduction in electricity consumption and a 52% reduction in gas usage.
Danes Educational Trust selected Zenergi as its trusted carbon reduction partner, securing £166,000 in grant funding for heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency upgrades.
Leigh Academies Trust adopted Zenergi’s Zen Flex Bespoke product to take advantage of market movements by purchasing a volume of energy up front, while also trading on the day-ahead market to spread the risk of the volatile markets.
Zenergi’s services for PR Associates keep schools up to date with energy compliance, as well as driving energy efficiency to reduce costs and carbon emissions.
Zenergi supports Shropshire Council’s vision to stabilise and progressively reduce its environmental footprint., with the provision of Display Energy Certificates, which it has carried out for the Council for over 10 years.
Zenergi carried out the delivery of commercial Energy Performance Certificates for 52 properties in Reading to meet compliance with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.
School Business Professionals are increasingly challenged to balance shrinking budgets and escalating operating costs. However, energy is an area that offers opportunities to protect school budgets through a competitive tender process that proactively secures prices that take advantage of low wholesale market positions where possible.
We started working with Windmill Care when we successfully negotiated good tariffs for gas and electricity contracts for the group’s three care homes. But, before they went live, Windmill Care’s incumbent supplier identified a billing issue.
