We help qualifying organisations apply for certification for an exemption from a proportioned cost of funding Contracts for Difference (CfD) or Renewables Obligation (RO).

When you need to consume a lot of energy to run your business, having a firm grasp on how to benefit from energy cost reduction schemes can result in significant savings and reduced environmental impact, particularly when complex regulations can be challenging to comprehend.

Our team of experts continually track the energy market to secure best value contracts; presenting transparent evaluations of available options and costs. This includes fixed contracts, flexible contracts, buying groups or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). We look to provide guidance on complying with regulations, implementing energy efficiency measures and accessing available incentives and discounts to our extensive list of clients.

Our bespoke approach enables our clients to make an informed, streamlined decision that meets both budgetary needs and business requirements, while aligning to their net zero journey.

Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) are subject to various regulations and charges related to energy use and climate change.

Organisations can qualify for certification for an exemption from a proportion of the costs of funding CfD and RO.

Charges apply to electricity suppliers which can be passed on to organisations classified as Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs).

Our services can help organisations reduce their exposure in a volatile market.

Non-half-hourly meter exchanges

New regulation is coming into force which means that every organisation’s electricity will need to be settled on a half-hourly basis. By October 2026 all electricity meters will need to be half-hourly. Don’t get left behind. If your meter is one of the circa 30 million affected by the regulation, it will need to be upgraded.
