Can our agreed capacity be reduced?

Sometimes. We compare the agreed figure with a year of recorded demand, including event days, and only recommend a request to the network operator where the data supports it.

Several organisations use our site. Who pays for what?

We match each supply to the occupier it serves and set out where sub-metering is needed, so cost can be recovered from the right party.

Either by a margin applied to the final unit rate or by a fixed management fee. Whichever applies is agreed in writing before any contract is signed, and you sign every contract yourself.

Energy and utilities management for leisure and stadiums

A venue is priced on a load shape that only appears on event days. Floodlighting, pool plant and hospitality set the peak, while ordinary weeks look quite different. We read the half-hourly data and set out event days and closed days separately.

Agreed capacity is charged whether it is used or not, and at a venue it is often set for the busiest fixture or show. We test the agreed figure against a year of recorded demand and only request a change where the data supports it.

Clubs, trusts, catering concessions and tenants can share one site behind different supplies. We record which supply serves which occupier, so cost is recovered from the right party and reporting is not double counted.

Day one

What we are usually handed

Where the load tends to hide at a leisure and stadiums site, and where we fit once we see it.

Capacity set for the busiest day
Agreed capacity is charged whether it is used or not, and at a venue it is usually set for a fixture or a show rather than for ordinary weeks. We test the agreed figure against a year of recorded demand before any change is requested.
Where we fitWe test agreed capacity against a year of recorded demand and only request a change where the data supports it.
Plant that runs between events
Pool circulation, air handling, undersoil heating and lighting often run on timers that were set for a different schedule. Half-hourly data shows what ran on a closed day, which is where the avoidable consumption usually is.
Where we fitWe read half-hourly data across closed days and event days so the two load shapes can be seen separately.

Catering concessions, clubs, trusts and tenants can sit behind different supplies on the same site. We record which supply serves which occupier so cost is recovered from the right party and reporting is not double counted.

What we do about it

Test agreed capacity at each supply against a year of recorded half-hourly demand.
Separate event day and closed day load, and set out what runs between events.
Map each supply to the occupier it serves, including concessions and tenants.
Tender supplies across the venue together where the contract end dates allow it.

Who we work withVenue and operations directors, facilities managers and finance teams.

Simple steps

How to reduce energy use in leisure and stadiums

Practical steps you can take yourself, from habits that cost nothing to decisions best made with metered data. Pick a stage, then open a step to see why it matters.

Changes to habits and settings.

Compare air handling, lighting and heating timers with this season's bookings and fixtures. Timers set for an old schedule keep running regardless.
Name who switches pitch and arena lighting off after training and events, and when, so it does not run on.
Shut down lighting and conditioning in hospitality suites and concourses that are not booked.

Before anything is agreed

What happens next

If you send us the details below, we run a short suitability check before anything is agreed.

Tell us the sector, the number of sites and what prompted the enquiry. Contract end dates and supply numbers help, but you do not need the full picture to start.
We confirm whether the work matches what we do and whether we have capacity to take it on properly. If it does not, we say so.
If it is suitable, we set out the work, the fee basis and the next steps in writing before any contract is signed.
Every supply contract stays in your name. We operate under a Level 1 Letter of Authority only, which means we cannot sign contracts on your behalf.
