Finding the right tariff for you, not the supplier

Tariff Analysis

Energy Surveys through the Carbon Trust are tailored to the specific circumstances and needs of an organisation.  

Surveys are usually only available for sites and organisations with an energy bill greater than £50,000 per year. Telephone support is available for smaller organisations.

The Carbon Trust's free Energy surveys include the following:

Initial Opportunities Assessment

This survey reviews all significant energy use on the site and is the first step to cutting energy costs and consumption for inexperienced organisations. Up to ten recommendations are usually included in the Action Plan, most of which will pay back in less than 18 months. Minimal energy efficiency experience needed.

Specific Opportunities Assessment

Intended for organisations who have already implemented a range of energy efficiency measures and wish to build upon their experience. The survey is focussed upon a narrow range of energy uses on the site (that you have identified) to provide a more in-depth analysis of these areas. In addition, the consultant will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of energy management practices to help the organisation sustain the improvements that have already been made. Some energy efficiency experience needed.

Multiple Site Assessment

For organisations with more than five sites and an accumulative energy bill of greater than £150,000/year the Carbon Trust will carry out surveys at a sample of sites in order to obtain an overview of energy saving opportunities that exist across the organisation. An energy management review performed as part of the survey will identify the strengths and weaknesses of energy management practices and help your organisation deliver savings across your portfolio of operations. As part of the multiple site assessment senior management will be briefed on the findings.
Good level of energy efficiency experience required.

CHP Advice

For organisations who are specifically interested in the use of Combined Heat & Power (CHP). Advice ranges from initial feasibility studies, design, and project implementation advice for both new developments and refurbishments. Some energy efficiency experience required.

Energy Management Assessment

For experienced organisations that are only interested in improving energy management practices to sustain the improvements already achieved. The assessment evaluates performance across eight dimensions of energy management and enables the organisation to compare their performance against that of other organisations.
