Energy is one of the most significant expenses for many organisations. Mismanaged contracts can lead to higher bills, mistakes in billing and missed opportunities for sustainability.

New Year; new priorities! With the start of the year bringing freezing temperatures and soaring energy prices, it’s a timely reminder to take control of your energy management. Turbulent energy costs and a growing emphasis on sustainability offers the opportunity to review and optimise your energy contracts to ensure they align with your budget, goals, and long-term needs.

Why review your energy contracts?

• Stay ahead of market trends: Energy prices fluctuate, and timing is critical. By assessing your contracts in advance of your renewal, you can take advantage of favourable market conditions and lock in competitive rates.
• Budget planning: Giving yourself time to renew your contracts means you can explore new options. If you’ve always opted for a fixed contract, could this year be an opportunity to explore a flexible contract?
• Compliance and sustainability: Transitioning to green energy sources can reduce your carbon footprint while future-proofing your energy strategy

Why it matters

In today’s fast-paced world, effective energy management is essential to containing operational costs. The type of energy contract you select, the timing of your decision and the terms you agree to can make a significant difference to what you’ll pay in the long term. But it can be challenging when there is an endless choice of suppliers and contract types!  Engaging with a consultant means the options, comparisons and risk assessment will all be prepared for you, helping to align your contract with your needs and budget.

At Zenergi, we understand that energy management is about more than signing the right contract at the right time. Organisations are seeking innovative ways to optimise energy consumption, reduce carbon footprints and streamline operational processes.

Recognising this need, we are excited to unveil an exciting new development: a customer portal designed to revolutionise the way you manage your energy.
