Energy Services

For industrial and commercial energy users, electricity and gas often represent a complex and uncontrollable cost that varies significantly from year to year as a result of market fluctuations and application of government regulatory charges.

JCL are able to secure the lowest cost electricity, renewable energy and natural gas rates and charges by running competitive energy procurement tenders on key commercial terms, then contract managing the deal along with usage data analysis to create budget forecasts and check energy bills for overcharges.

JCL Management’s energy services include:

  • Market analysis and assessment
  • Procurement (Tender programs, implementation and management)
  • Electricity network tariff reviews to ensure least cost
  • Electricity price and cost forecasting
  • Energy data management
  • Monthly usage monitoring & reporting
  • Usage data archiving
  • Monthly bill checking & validation
  • Invoice history tracking
  • Full budget calculations
  • Green energy and environmental reporting
  • Ongoing advice, development of systems and support

The tangible benefits that our services deliver to clients are a decrease in spend on electricity and gas, clear usage reporting, ability to budget future spending on energy, consolidation of accounts and billing, a reduction in the administrative cost of processing bills, and increased service from the retailer as a result of holding all accounts with one account manager.

The challenges around distribution costs, environmental levies and market charges are detailed and complex, which can lead to significant invoicing errors from retailers or passed through from distributors.  JCL has a proven track record in monitoring and identifying overcharges and in ensuring that ongoing billing errors are identified and resolved quickly and easily.  As part of our service we have a system to check clients’ bills on a monthly basis.  This enables our clients to be 100% confident that the amount they are paying is correct.

We are able to assist with both large and small sites, on a grouped or targeted site-approach basis.
