New Year, New Energy Management?

After a year of the most extreme volatility in the history of the Energy market, 2023 feels more hopeful. Despite the worst fears of blackouts and surging Energy prices as we entered the winter period, The relationship between Energy supply and demand over the coldest periods this winter was successful creating much more market stability. We must not repeat past mistakes where businesses and consumers were often apathetic in the procurement and consumption of Energy, if you do nothing else this year, consider a New approach to Energy management both at home and at the office.

Those who want their buildings to contribute to the UK’s net zero targets must start thinking about how they can update their energy infrastructure to provide cleaner, greener options while also making energy billing, management, and supply a painless experience for their users. Although it is widely acknowledged that billing by square footage is not an ideal method of charging occupiers for utilities, it is sometimes the only reasonable solution, and there are ratios and methods to create a more equitable apportionment between users. How do landlords or occupiers validate what each user has or has not consumed in the absence of granular metering infrastructure?

Customers are also looking to their landlords to assist them in achieving greater sustainability as we all strive to become more carbon-neutral. Those who want their buildings to contribute to the UK’s net zero targets must start thinking about how they can update their energy infrastructure to provide cleaner, greener options while also making energy billing, management, and supply a painless experience for their users. To accomplish this, landlords must begin collaborating with providers who accept responsibility for each step of the process.

This issue has risen since the global energy crisis occurred as a result of a number of interconnected factors, including the Ukraine war, increased demand, the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, and soaring prices, particularly in the United Kingdom- having an impact on building managers and landlords, particularly when it comes to how they charge their tenants for energy use. As a result, many will be considering the longer-term options available to them, such as a provider that not only provides sub-metering for individual customers but also serves as a one-stop shop for energy supply, management, and billing. And Unify Energy is that solution, combining our service with data and analytics to improve the accuracy of our customers’ charges and offering a variety of sustainable energy options to help customers reduce their carbon footprint.

We are the only fully regulated supplier to provide this end-to-end service. Our ambition is to offer every single Energy user, even if they don’t have a main meter, a direct and enhanced Energy experience giving insights into their individual energy activity and spending. We recognise that this isn’t always achievable and the process of stripping out existing infrastructure to install new, without causing disruption to occupiers is difficult to manage. Sometimes getting granular metering to every desired location is difficult or impossible. When it comes to infrastructure every building looks different but the good news is that Unify Energy has a solution that fits every metering (or lack thereof) scenario.

Specialising in the supply and management of Energy in multi-tenanted commercial buildings Unify Energy is the perfect partner for building owners, operators and occupiers.
