Consumption
During periods of inflated energy prices, optimising energy consumption is prioritised to lessen cost increase. Our specialist teams can carry out detailed site audits to identify energy and carbon saving opportunities and make efficiency recommendations. Knowing your consumption sets a starting point for pinpointing inefficiencies, eliminating wastage and driving efficiencies. We can support Make UK members to deploy hardware and software solutions, such as Circuit-Level Monitoring, which provides more detailed real-time data than a site meter.
Compliance
Manufacturers must navigate an increasingly complex reporting landscape. Our proactive approach helps you turn schemes such as Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) into an agent of change on your Net Zero journey.
Cost
Most manufacturing processes require a lot of power and gas, rendering utilities a fundamental business consideration. Our experts understand the needs of manufacturers and can support you in making proactive decisions for your organisation.
A single billing error can come at a staggering cost to an energy-intensive organisation. Our solutions such as invoice validation help you understand your consumption, spot anomalies and keep your billing in check.
Utility bills are complex and can be misinterpreted for many reasons. Our forensic cost recovery audit scrutinises your historical utility billing to identify and recover money back to your organisation.
Carbon
The manufacturing sector plays a crucial role in the UK reaching Net Zero by 2050.
Tailored for Make UK members, our Net Zero Toolkit guides manufacturers towards net zero, offering expert support in critical considerations such as carbon footprinting and building an ambitious but actionable Net Zero Strategy.
The Net Zero Toolkit service brochure can be downloaded from the Inspired PLC website.
Prior to engaging with Inspired PLC, our energy management requirements were dealt with by a variety of energy advisors. This was fraught with headaches such as unreliable service, difficulties with contract and pricing management, and service levels which were below an acceptable standard.
Since moving all of our energy management to Inspired, there is only one word to describe their service and that is 'faultless'. We now have a system which is giving us unrivalled service in terms of scaled energy procurement, operating cost reductions and excellent visibility of future costs. Furthermore, the Inspired Team are a pleasure to deal with, always listening carefully to customer requirements and ensuring first class customer service is delivered every time.
Inspired now not only act as our energy brokers but have been the providers of our 330KW solar PV system, our energy consumption analytics, managing our climate change agreement and our journey to net-zero.
For every aspect of energy and carbon management, Inspired are our 'One Stop' solution partner and come with our highest recommendation.
