Deliver compliance, cost control and carbon progress across your portfolio.
Volatile energy markets, tightening regulation and ambitious net zero commitments place growing pressure on already stretched teams. At the same time, changes such as Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) and evolving Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) increase operational and financial risk.
With the right strategic partner, your energy management will be optimised, compliant and defensible – protecting public finances while strengthening long-term resilience across your estate.
Let's talk
Which is why Zenergi operates as a single, accountable partner - integrating procurement, compliance and optimisation to reduce exposure and strengthen oversight across the areas placing the greatest pressure on your estate:
Local authorities manage a complex mix of civic buildings, leisure centres, schools, housing and commercial property – many built before modern efficiency standards. Meeting tightening MEES requirements while prioritising limited capital investment demands structured oversight and clear, defensible ROI.
Legacy systems and shared metering arrangements often restrict granular, site-level insight. Without accurate, auditable data it becomes harder to evidence progress, prioritise investment or withstand scrutiny from audit and governance bodies.
MHHS represents one of the most significant structural changes to the electricity market in decades. While it offers long-term visibility and optimisation benefits, a poorly managed transition can create short-term cost exposure, billing discrepancies and administrative strain.
Achieving government targets for carbon emissions reduction is a challenge for local authorities faced with ageing building portfolio challenges and funding cuts. It can be difficult to know where to direct capital investment for the quickest ROI.
From DECs and EPCs to MEES and TM44, regulatory requirements continue to evolve. Limited internal capacity can increase the risk of missed deadlines, financial penalties and reputational exposure.
Energy remains one of the most significant controllable costs within public estates. Without structured procurement strategy and active risk management, poor timing or passive contract renewal can place unnecessary strain on public finances.
We help local authorities strengthen governance across energy and compliance - reducing financial exposure, improving estate efficiency and delivering measurable carbon progress.

Net zeroManaging a local authority estate leaves little room for reactive energy administration. Our structured, transparent approach is designed to protect public finances, maintain compliance and support declared carbon commitments - without adding pressure to internal teams. Every partnership is tailored to your authority’s priorities, governance structure and funding landscape. It begins in the same place:
Clarity on compliance, exposure and funding opportunity. We begin with a focused review of your estate, regulatory obligations and procurement strategy – including readiness for MEES, ESOS (where applicable) and carbon reporting requirements. We assess financial exposure, capital constraints and potential funding routes, providing a clear starting point for informed decision-making.
Defensible data across your portfolio. Our technical specialists conduct a structured review of metering, asset performance and consumption patterns across your estate. Using robust auditing tools, we identify inefficiencies, compliance risks and optimisation opportunities – supported by transparent data suitable for audit and reporting.
A prioritised, costed plan aligned to governance and funding cycles. We deliver a structured roadmap outlining compliance actions, capital improvements and carbon reduction opportunities. Recommendations are classified by risk, ROI and funding availability – enabling confident reporting to finance teams, Cabinet or scrutiny committees.
Delivery managed within live public environments. From LED upgrades and metering optimisation to MEES improvement works and TM44 inspections, we manage implementation end-to-end. We coordinate suppliers, documentation and compliance evidence – ensuring works are delivered safely and with minimal disruption to public services.
Continuous oversight and financial control. We provide proactive procurement strategy, supplier management and bill validation – reducing administrative burden from your staff, while protecting public finances. Ongoing compliance monitoring ensures deadlines are met and exposure is minimised.
Maintaining resilience as regulation and markets evolve. Through the Zenergi Portal and dedicated account management, we provide ongoing visibility of performance across your estate. We monitor market conditions, support MHHS transition and identify further opportunities to reduce cost and carbon exposure.
