The Procurement Group provide a comprehensive energy management and certification service to businesses, public bodies, and other organisations.

Why Focus on Energy Management?

It is because every business must take their energy consumption seriously, the larger your organisation, the more the legislative burden.

• The government Carbon Plan requires cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. To achieve this goal, all businesses in every sector must increase their energy efficiency by lowering consumption.
• Mandatory reporting is required by larger enterprises (250+ staff) under the UK’s CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment) Energy Efficiency Scheme (EES). This applies to businesses such as:
• Supermarkets
• Water companies
• Banks
• Local authorities and all central government departments
• For businesses meeting the qualification criteria of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme(ESOS), assessments must be carried out no longer than every four years to remain ESOS compliant.

Regulatory compliance is crucial to avoid monetary fines and other financial penalties. Incentives are also available to benefit businesses meeting their requirements, which include:

• Feed-in tariffs for electrical generation
• Better yield on properties
• Enhanced reputation management through your CSR (Corporate Social Responsible) policy

The positives of efficient energy management far outweigh the negatives and that’s the sole driver of many more businesses beginning to be proactive and take energy management seriously.

Much More than Energy Performance Certificates…

Businesses can use our energy management service in one of two ways.
