Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is the local government body responsible for delivering Greater Manchester’s transport strategy and commitments.
Keolis Amey Metrolink (KAM), a joint venture between Keolis and Amey, took over operations and maintenance of Manchester’s Metrolink for a period of up to 10 years from July 2017.
The Keolis Amey Metrolink tram system is the largest of its kind in the UK. It serves 99 stops across eight different lines along almost 103km of track, with a fleet of 120 modern trams catering for more than 34 million journeys a year.
Critical path activity deadlines were all met throughout the project, due to effective communication and flexibility.
Using historical testing data from previous line openings, we were able to effectively estimate the usage and propose this to the meter operator.

The project involved working with the contractor, MPT, to manage the disconnections and site clearance for demolition on seven existing buildings along the proposed route; arranging the metering for the six new tram stops; and arranging three High Voltage and three Low Voltage substation meters
Once the disconnections and demolition works were complete, we worked alongside MPT and KAM to facilitate new meter installations and arranged the procurement of the energy supplies and metering contracts, ensuring a competitive price for the energy.
We identified a problem on each of the High Voltage substations after install. They were shorting which meant that meter data could not be retrieved and all sites were billing to zero usage. We worked with the meter operator, supplier and site engineers to resolve the issue. By having historical testing data from previous line openings, we were able to effectively estimate the usage and propose this to the meter operator which ensured that KAM and TfGM paid for accurate usage.
Often working to tight deadlines, with short notice metering requirements and re-scheduled dates due to unforeseen circumstances at site, meant that close communication with stakeholders, including the client; engineers; contractors; and project managers was essential.

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.
