Free energy check for manufacturers
Is your factory paying too much for energy?
Your machinery, compressors, ovens and lighting run for long shifts, so every penny on the unit rate adds up. We compare your energy costs with current market prices, and then a specialist will ring to explain where you stand.
Where a manufacturer's energy goes
Manufacturing uses energy heavily and steadily, often round the clock. That means the detail of your contract matters more than it would for most businesses.
Machinery and motors
Production lines, pumps and fans often run across long shifts.
Compressed air
Compressed air can use a lot of electricity, and it's easy to overlook.
Heat and process
Ovens, kilns, furnaces and dryers can run on gas, electricity or both.
Lighting and buildings
Large spaces need lighting and heating for the whole working day.
Three things worth checking
Capacity charges
Larger sites on half-hourly meters pay for the maximum supply they've agreed to draw. If your agreed capacity is more than you actually use, you may be paying for headroom you never need.
Climate Change Agreements
Energy-intensive sites in eligible sectors can get a discount on the Climate Change Levy if they agree to efficiency targets. A new scheme started in January 2026, and new sites can apply between 1 January and 31 August each year until 2029. The 2026 window has closed, so the next one opens on 1 January 2027.
Your renewal window
Larger contracts are often priced and agreed months before they start, so if you leave it late, you'll have fewer options to choose from.

Questions manufacturers ask us
Can you check several sites?
Yes. Tell us about each site and your specialist can go through every contract with you.
What is a Climate Change Agreement?
It's a voluntary agreement to meet energy efficiency targets in return for a discount on the Climate Change Levy. It's open to eligible energy-intensive sectors, and the current scheme runs to 2033.
We're on a half-hourly meter. Does that change anything?
Yes. You're charged for when you use electricity as well as how much, and usually for your agreed capacity too. Your specialist looks at all of it.
Will switching interrupt production?
No. Your supply stays on during the switch, so production carries on as normal. The only thing that changes is the company that bills you.
