The problems we see, and how we solve them.
Long operating hours and kitchen and spa plant that make load look peaky.
The problem
Load that never flattens
Kitchen extract, pool and spa plant and laundry run outside the hours the building is nominally busy. Where the meters produce half-hourly data we set out what runs overnight and what stops.
How Omnium solves it
We read the half-hourly data and set out what the overnight base load is costing before any contract is priced.
The problem
Contracts held in several places
Franchise agreements, managed and leased sites and a change of operator often leave supply contracts sitting under different names. We build one register of meters, supply numbers and end dates before we go to market.
How Omnium solves it
We build the register of supplies and end dates, so the group is negotiating from one list rather than several.
The problem
Brand standards and reporting
Group and brand reporting asks for consumption and emissions by site on a fixed timetable. We keep the figures in a form that can be handed to a brand auditor with the source stated.
How Omnium solves it
We keep consumption and emissions figures in a form a brand auditor can check, with the source stated.

Problems and solutionsProblem
Load that never flattens
Our solution
We read the half-hourly data and set out what the overnight base load is costing before any contract is priced.
Problem
Contracts held in several places
Our solution
We build the register of supplies and end dates, so the group is negotiating from one list rather than several.
Restaurants and food service
Small supplies in volume, kitchen plant that runs late and units that change hands.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Refrigeration and extract that never stop
Our solution
We read the overnight and closed-day load site by site and put it in writing before anything is recommended.
Problem
Units opening and closing
Our solution
We hold the supply numbers and change of tenancy dates in one register so a closed unit stops being billed.
Leisure and stadiums
Event day peaks, pool and pitch plant, and agreed capacity set for the busiest day.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Capacity set for the busiest day
Our solution
We test agreed capacity against a year of recorded demand and only request a change where the data supports it.
Problem
Plant that runs between events
Our solution
We read half-hourly data across closed days and event days so the two load shapes can be seen separately.
Offices and multi-let buildings
Landlord and tenant supplies, service charge recovery and letting standards.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Meters without an owner
Our solution
We separate landlord, common part and tenant supplies and record which supply sits behind which demise.
Problem
Recovery that has to be evidenced
Our solution
We keep the consumption, rate and apportionment working so a tenant query can be answered from the record.
Retail groups
Many small supplies, frequent site changes and rolling contract end dates.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Change of tenancy
Our solution
We handle change of tenancy on openings and closures and confirm the read that closes the account.
Problem
End dates spread across the year
Our solution
We set the end dates out in one place and align them where a supplier will allow it.
Manufacturing and industrial
Half-hourly electricity, agreed capacity and reactive power charges.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Capacity that no longer matches the site
Our solution
We compare recorded maximum demand against agreed capacity and set out what a change would mean.
Problem
Reactive power and availability charges
Our solution
We identify these charges on the invoice and say what drives them at your site.
Public sector and education
Procurement rules, term dates in the load shape and reporting obligations.
Problems and solutionsProblem
A decision that has to be evidenced
Our solution
We record every offer with its date and write the reasoning down before anything is signed.
Problem
Frameworks and existing routes to market
Our solution
We say plainly where we can help and where the existing route already covers the supply.
Care homes and residential estates
Continuous load, heat networks and metering of individual dwellings.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Load that cannot be moved
Our solution
We work on the price and the contract, rather than asking a home to change how it operates.
Problem
Heat networks and dwelling metering
Our solution
We set out the registration and metering duties that apply and hold the dates on record.
Charities and non-profits
Trustee oversight, restricted budgets and the VAT and levy reliefs that apply to charitable premises.
Problems and solutionsProblem
Reliefs not claimed
Our solution
We work out the qualifying proportion and prepare the VAT and levy declarations for you to sign.
Problem
Decisions that go to a board
Our solution
We write the recommendation so it can be read at a trustee meeting and filed afterwards.
Every metered site has a contract and a consumption pattern that can be checked against what was signed.
The method does not change with the sector. We work across offices, industrial sites, leisure, housing, agriculture, transport, and organisations that do not fit any of those.
If your sector is not listed
The nine above are the ones where we have written the pattern down: what a well-run site of that type looks like on half-hourly data, where the load usually hides, and which compliance regimes tend to apply.
The method does not change with the sector. Every metered site has a contract, a consumption pattern and a set of charges that can be checked against what was signed. We work across offices, industrial sites, leisure, housing, agriculture, transport, and organisations that do not fit any of those.
If you are not sure whether we cover what you do, . The answer is usually yes, and if it is no we will say so and tell you who to speak to instead.
