Change for the better in social housing

22nd October 2020

By working with numerous housing associations over the years, we understand the challenges that many organisations are facing.

We know that the last few months has created major challenges, and that the economic downturn will make the coming year tough for both housing associations and their customers alike. Operational efficiency and financial resilience are now more important than ever, as the pandemic has highlighted both new opportunities and an increased pressure to change for the better.

Energy management touches many areas with an organisation, from finance managers to procurement officers, asset management teams and housing officers, which can often result in heavy workloads and complicated processes. By partnering with Inenco, you will have access to a team of highly qualified energy management and sustainability specialists who can help reduce your energy costs and your administrative burden, leaving you to focus on what really matters – your customers.

How we can help

Save money and time with a bespoke energy management strategy

The Coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on all of our lives and has resulted in a turbulent energy market. We can help streamline your energy procurement by developing an energy management strategy that manages the risk of market volatility and uncertainty. This will help to ensure you won’t pay more for your energy than you need to – and can minimise the impact on your customers’ service charges.

Building sustainable communities

Many housing associations are seeing a growing expectation from their tenant’s to embrace environmental sustainability. Developing a long-term sustainability strategy now can help to ensure that you are able to build sustainable communities that people want to live in for years to come.

More time to focus on your customers

Managing a diverse portfolio of properties, with all their associated bills can quickly mean that you don’t have the time to focus on the things that really make a difference. By delegating management of your utilities to our industry experts, you won’t have to worry about the day to day administration.

Gaining financial control

Cost assurance and recovery can help you to keep tight control of your finances,  as we make sure that no unnecessary payments are made to your utility companies – giving you peace of mind and the time to focus on delivering for the future.

Ensure compliant procurement

Protecting the best interests of both the organisation and your customers, we offer fully compliant best value procurement processes. We are proud to say that we are the exclusive partners of The Procurement Hub on their OJEU compliance energy framework which can save you a lot of time and money.

Dedicated account management

All of our clients have a dedicated account manager that works in partnership with your business, ensuring that collectively we are all working toward the same objectives. With many things to manage having someone who knows the ins and outs of your organisation guarantees that nothing gets missed or lost in communication.

Cost certainty and energy optimisation

Alongside our cost recovery service, and working hand in hand with your sustainability objectives, we help identify wasted energy – reducing your costs and the impact on the environment

It certainly looks like we will have a challenging few years ahead of us all as the impact of Covid and our Net Zero ambitions play out, which makes having a reliable, knowledgeable energy partner more important than ever.
