Half-hourly energy monitoring
Every half hour.Read, not filed.
In short
Half-hourly monitoring reads how each supply is used in each half hour of the day, rather than relying on the single total at the bottom of an invoice. It makes the overnight baseload and out-of-hours plant visible, checked for gaps and estimates, and read against how the site actually operates.
What this does not do. Monitoring does not reduce a bill on its own. It shows where the waste sits, and the reduction comes from acting on the finding.
The first review across your invoices costs nothing. Later work is quoted and agreed in writing before it begins. Cost recovery
Who this is for
Sites on half-hourly or AMR meters whose data is collected but never read, and smaller supplies about to gain that data under market-wide settlement.
Half-hourly and AMR meters already produce detailed data. Most of it is never looked at, because the only figure reaching the office is the total at the bottom of an invoice. Under market-wide half-hourly settlement, that data is becoming available on supplies where it did not exist before.
The market change, its dates and what it means commercially are set out in the half-hourly settlement sheet.
What we examine
- The half-hourly or AMR record for each supply, collected and checked for gaps and estimated readings.
- The overnight baseload: what the site draws when it should be drawing almost nothing.
- Out-of-hours plant: what is running outside the operating pattern, and when it starts and stops.
- The demand shape against the opening hours, shift times and the plant that should be running.
- Sites of similar use and size within your own estate, compared fairly, with what makes them comparable stated.
The process
01
Collect the data
The half-hourly or AMR record is gathered per supply, so the picture rests on readings rather than invoice totals.
02
Check it
Gaps and estimated readings are identified and labelled. Where a meter reports nothing, that is stated rather than smoothed over.
03
Read it against the site
The data is read against the operating pattern: the hours, the shifts, the plant that should be running and the plant that should not.
04
Report and act
Findings are reported in writing, dated and attributed, and nothing proceeds beyond the report until you say it should.
What this does not do
- Monitoring does not save anything on its own. It makes waste visible; the saving comes from acting on what it shows.
- It cannot read a meter that does not report. Where the data does not exist yet, we say so rather than model it.
- A high overnight load is not always waste. Some plant has to run. Where a site's pattern is genuine, that is the finding.
The first review costs nothing. Anything after it is quoted and agreed in writing before it starts.
Questions
A record of how much electricity a supply used in each half hour of the day, rather than a single monthly total. It shows when the load runs, not just how much it adds up to.
Half-hourly and AMR meters already do. Smaller supplies are moving the same way under market-wide half-hourly settlement: migration began in October 2025, with around 80 per cent of meters expected migrated by October 2026 and full implementation in May 2027.
Most often an overnight baseload that is higher than the building needs, plant running out of hours, and demand patterns that do not match how the site is used. Where a site is genuinely peaky by nature, we say so.
The invoice gives one total at the end of the month. Monitoring reads the shape of use within it, which is where the waste sits. The two numbers reconcile, but only one of them tells you when to act.
We say so. Estimated readings are labelled as estimates, and where a meter reports nothing we record the gap rather than filling it with a modelled figure.
The first review of your invoices and data costs nothing. Ongoing monitoring is quoted and agreed in writing before it starts, as part of the management arrangement for the account.

How to check this
Each claim on this page is answered by something you can read for yourself. Nothing below states a figure; it names the document or register the claim is held against.
Point 01
We hold a Level 1 Letter of Authority only
The authority wording sets out what we may do with your data and states that we cannot sign a contract on your behalf. Read it before you sign it.
Point 02
How we are paid is agreed in writing before you sign
Our margin or management fee is stated in the terms that accompany a recommendation, and nothing is added afterwards.
Point 03
Every figure we quote carries a dated source document
Records state the figure, what it is measured against, the document it is taken from and the date on that document. Records still held anonymous are labelled as such.
Point 04
Consumption figures come from meter and supplier data, not estimates
Where a reading is estimated or missing, the record says so rather than filling the gap.
Point 05
We work to a published code of conduct
Our obligations as a third party intermediary, and what you can hold us to, are set out in full.
Ask about our services and accreditations
Put a supplier assessment question and get an answer drawn from what we already publish. It reads our service pages, compliance sheets and accreditation register, and nothing else.
Answers come from published pages and are not a quotation, a contract or legal advice. Questions are recorded so we can see what buyers are asking, and are covered by our privacy notice. The first review costs nothing; anything after it is quoted and agreed in writing.
