The ESS Approach

Accurate information regarding energy costs is the key to decision making but gathering it is time consuming and requires specialist knowledge. ESS work with a wide range of businesses from NHS hospitals to convenience food outlets, but it is to utility companies that we talk every day. Our knowledge is built by analysing the energy markets and other factors which will affect cost.

How the programme is implemented
Upon engagement and following the provision of a recent copy invoice for each utility, the client's accounts are set up on the system. From this and other information our audit and initial repot will detail the existing cost and consumption of your supplies including any cost saving or refund recommendations as appropriate. Any saving or refund opportunities remain subject to acceptance by the client and are only implemented by ESS following instruction.

Continual monitoring
Establishing competitive pricing is our first step. If subsequent billing is either wildly over estimated or contains supplier errors the savings may well be lost. ESS monitors supplier billing through the provision of copy invoices from suppliers. ESS logs important renewal dates and notice periods to ensure action is taken at the appropriate time.

Risk free
Fees are derived solely from the implementation of accepted savings and refunds which means that iin the unlikely event that no savings or refunds are achieved there is no cost and the audit elements of the programme continue.

Budgeting
At any time, during office hours, ESS is available to provide information for planning or budgeting purposes. Remember that ESS can by-pass the call centres to help with any problems involved with the administration of your utilities.
