The current economic climate presents significant challenges for businesses, with fluctuating energy prices remaining a major concern, alongside the need to deliver carbon net zero targets.
At Inenco, we understand that the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the one you don’t use. This means that our strategies can help you achieve both cost savings and carbon reduction. While the underlying principles are often similar, we’ve found it’s easier to explain our approach based on your primary goal.
If your main goal is achieving net zero emissions, our Net Zero Transition Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy. This blog post, however, focuses on our Energy Reduction Partnership. Here, the primary driver is reducing your energy consumption, which naturally leads to cost savings.
Energy Reduction Partnership
The focus of our Energy Reduction Partnership is to leverage Inenco’s expertise and insight and takes a collaborative approach, leveraging your people, processes, and data to unlock real savings.
Building on the insights gained from mandatory schemes like SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) and ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme), our programme goes a step further. We collaborate with you to implement practical changes that make a tangible difference.
Here’s the essence of our approach:
The benefits are clear – reduced energy costs that helps to bolster your competitive advantage and a smaller environmental footprint, which builds a solid foundation for your Net Zero Transition.
Our Approach
We find that strong data is the cornerstone of a successful Energy Reduction Partnership. Granular Half-Hourly (HH) data, often complemented by existing ESOS reports, paints a clear picture for optimisation using IPMVP (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol) principles. This provides a clear and agreed starting point and a framework for measuring and verifying energy saving results achieved going forward.
With this data foundation, we can collaboratively establish achievable consumption reduction goals. From there, we focus initially on low-cost, quick-win solutions that minimize disruption and work seamlessly with your operations. We’ll then move on to help you build investment grade business cases for interventions that will reduce your OpEx costs and where appropriate larger CapEx projects.
In today’s ever-changing energy landscape, taking control of your consumption is more important than ever. Our Energy Reduction Partnership, fuelled by the power of data and collaborative action, can be your secret weapon. By working together with Inenco to gather the right information, identify pragmatic solutions, and implement seamless operational changes, you can achieve substantial cost savings and take a significant stride towards a more sustainable future.
