What is coming? • Electricity Market Reform • Security of supply • Keeping the lights on • Affordability • Sustainability • Legally binding carbon targets
What can you do? • Consume less • See where and what you need to do to reduce your energy consumption • Reduce grid consumption • On-site generation • Join in • Demand side response • You turn off at times of high demand • Cost certainty • Look to long term deals that freeze your price at an acceptable level
Do it now • EDR Capacity Market pilot design June to December 2013, including stakeholder events • EDR Capacity Market pilot 2014 • Demand side response [DSR] transitional arrangements 2015 – 2018 may influence EDR • Eventual move to enduring arrangements 2018 onwards, to be confirmed
Climate change agreement • CCA– a way to reduce your energy bill. • Set up and monitored by your trade association. • You have to hit the targets • If you are not monitoring, how do you know? • If you are not monitoring, how do you prove your reduction?
Do you know your legal requirements? • Legislation and obligated energy certification needed: • TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection Reports • Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) • Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) • European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS)
Energy Challenges • Specific energy and efficiency challenges facing this sector: • Motors and drivers • Compressed Air • Refrigeration • Lighting • Steam • M&T • Awareness / behaviour
Problem areas • Office areas • Warehousing • Loading bays • Car parks • Service areas off the shop floor • Testing areas, research, etc. • We often see inefficient lighting, high bay sodium lamps, lights and skylights blocked by shelves and machines, no occupancy controls, office equipment
water • Don't think of water use and disposal charges as fixed costs • Organisations can save up to 50% of their water costs by implementing simple and inexpensive ways of minimising water use • Always monitor how much water you use and compare use on a regular basis: • Compare water use against production output • Compare use against staff numbers • Appoint a water monitor to walk round the site regularly to identify ways of minimising water use • Make sure staff are fully aware of the importance of water minimisation
Holistic approach • Energy procurement goes hand-in-hand with products and services that help organisations to monitor, reduce and understand their consumption and manage their carbon footprint.
Products & services • Energy procurement • Fixed, flexible and risk managed pricing. • Energy monitoring and control • Edd:e circuit level monitoring • Energy Health Check • Utility Insight: utility meter intelligence • Energy reduction services • Energy Audit • Ecofit: management of energy reduction projects • Financing for energy saving projects • Outsourced energy manager • Carbon management services • Airport Carbon Accreditation • Carbon footprinting • Carbon management programmes • Carbon offsets • Legislative compliance services • Air conditioning inspections • Climate Change Agreements • Display Energy Certificates • Energy Performance Certificates • European Union Emissions Trading System • Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme • Water management services • Water Audit • Water bill audit
