Do you handle DUoS and TNUoS analysis?

Yes, including red-band shifting, capacity reviews and triad avoidance where applicable to your site.

Can you run a flexible procurement strategy?

Yes. For larger consumers we run baseload hedging, shape risk management and basket buying across whole-of-market.

Will switching interrupt production?

No. The physical supply is unchanged; only the billing supplier changes. Production runs without interruption.

Do you tender trade effluent and industrial waste as well?

Yes. General, hazardous, WEEE and trade effluent tendered together, with full Duty of Care compliance.

How far ahead should we engage on renewal?

Six to twelve months is ideal for HH sites and flex strategies, so you can buy into favourable curve positions rather than at the deadline.

Why manufacturing bills are now a CFO issue

Non-commodity charges (DUoS, TNUoS, BSUoS, CCL, Capacity Market) now make up 50-60% of a typical industrial electricity bill, and they keep rising. Shift patterns, peak demand windows and reactive power charges all flow into your unit cost in ways most operators are not actively managing. Add a 24/5 or 24/7 production schedule and a capital plant base that is hard to flex, and energy procurement becomes one of the most material levers on margin.

Where we find savings on a typical manufacturing site

We model fixed, flexible and pass-through contracts against your load shape and risk appetite. For HH-metered sites we review capacity (kVA), availability and reactive charges, and we look at DUoS red-band avoidance and TNUoS triad exposure where it materially moves the bill. For multi-site groups we run basket-buying and tranche strategies that smaller users cannot access.

Alongside electricity and gas, we tender trade effluent, water and industrial waste, and we audit historic water bills for credits and rebates where surface water is incorrectly charged.

Built for single-plant SMEs through to multi-site groups

We support UK manufacturers from single-plant SMEs to multi-site industrial groups. Our team works alongside your finance and operations leadership to align contracts to your budget cycle and capex roadmap.
