Energy & Carbon Management offers clients a turn-key solution shop for all of
their energy, water and carbon management needs. Our core services are:
Data Management Services (Data Hub)
At the heart of our state-of-the-art utility management services is a high-quality Data Hub.
Energy & Carbon Management invests heavily in information technology, recruitment and
training to ensure that our Data Hub is able to provide Data Management Services that are
at the cutting edge of our industry. The result is that all of our reporting and analysis is
based on high quality reliable information.
Procurement Management Services
We provide Procurement Management Services to all types of clients from SME
businesses through to blue chip organisations. Our solutions include fixed-price
contracting, market tracker funds, flexible risk-managed contracts and green energy
procurement. Your energy strategy, which we will define together, will determine
which of these solutions is the right one for your organisation.
All our clients, large or small, receive the same service level in relation to the timing
of their transactions, making it possible to manage the risks inherent in volatile
energy markets. So, when the market is moving against our clients, we make sure that
they are not subject to sharp and disproportionate price increases. Equally, when the
market moves in the right direction, they are in a position to take maximum advantage
of lower prices.
Energy Management Services
Our Energy Management Services portfolio uses a two-level service approach which
focuses on:
• The elimination of wastage which we are able to identify from in-depth analysis
of the data relating to your energy usage
• The introduction of new behaviours, management processes and new technologies
in order to reduce energy consumption.
With the information technology tools at our disposal, we are able to identify, manage and
monitor energy management projects, ranging from the change of control settings to the
introduction of smart metering, or the installation of alternative generation plant.
Water Management Services
Our Water Management Services concentrate on both the price and volume of water
and sewerage services. We examine all aspects of the tariffs that are available from
water supply companies and sewerage providers. This allows us to ensure that pricing
of services is optimised. As with our energy management services, we then analyse the
volume using a two-level approach. This involves the elimination of wastage and then the
introduction of new technologies and behaviours to reduce consumption.
Carbon Management Services
Carbon is rapidly becoming one of the most dominant areas of the energy market
due to the importance and the cost impact of carbon on businesses. Energy & Carbon
Management is fully expert in all aspects of compliance reporting required to satisfy
schemes such as Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), Climate Change Levy Agreements
(CCL) and, linked to our procurement strategy, the negotiation of Green Energy contracts
which can be surprisingly price competitive.

4. WHY CHOOSE ENERGY & CARBON
MANAGEMENT?
• Track record: we know the energy and carbon market and have a
20-year proven track record for delivering exceptional results for our
clients.
• Knowledge and experience: we are an established independent
service provider with the technical expertise, experience and market
intelligence required to provide high-quality energy management and
secure the best purchasing terms for your organisation.

against price risk and to capitalise on price opportunity.
OUR FEES
Market commissions
• Fees for our procurement activities are generally based on
commissions included in the energy supply contracts we negotiate on

on either a fixed fee or an agreed daily rate basis.
• Given the increasing complexity of managing their energy, water and
carbon compliance requirements, most organisations now find it far
more cost-effective to call on the assistance of experts rather than
trying to manage these in-house.

8. The Challenge The challenge for all businesses buying utilities in today’s
deregulated market is how to manage their long-term energy
costs in an environment of rapid and significant price volatility
The markets, too, have become much more sophisticated
resulting in a myriad of complex new products which
organisations can use with different suppliers and which are
geared to eliminating some of the risks involved in procurement.
For certain supplies, access to price is becoming more difficult
or is time restricted. Credit insurance has also become vital
with many users being denied offers or having to pay significant
security deposits.
The procurement service which Energy & Carbon Management
has developed addresses all of these key issues. We offer a
complete procurement solution from the smallest SME business
through to the largest blue chip corporate client.
When the market moves against our clients, we ensure that
they are not subject to sharp price increases. Equally, when
market conditions are favourable, our clients can take maximum
advantage.

9. Our methodology is simple and straightforward. All clients are different in
their structure, mix of supplies and volumes used. More importantly, clients have different Procurement
credit risk profiles and appetites for their involvement in the procurement process and for
the risks that they are prepared to take in attempting to obtain the best possible prices Solutions
available. We have therefore designed a system to create bespoke procurement strategies
for each of our clients which meets their specific needs based on their particular risk,
credit appetites and profiles.
At the heart of the procurement policy is the concept of Continual Market Price
Assessment. As soon as we have entered into a contract on behalf of our client
we immediately start monitoring the market in relation to the prices available for
the subsequent contract. We also report to each client on how the market has moved,
translating those reports into the clients’ own budgets and budgetary totals.
Energy & Carbon Management Limited forecast budget reports can be issued on a
daily, weekly or monthly basis. Our clients never have surprises in terms of sudden
and unexpected movements in budget. Our philosophy is to keep you fully informed
at all times.
We have a three-step process as follows:
1 Risk Profile: the client’s own appetite for risk in terms of the products that may be The
available to them and their credit risk in the market, is assessed.
2 Product Evaluation: once the Risk Profile is established, we undertake a Product Procurement
Evaluation in order to establish which products are available from which suppliers for
the volumes that a particular client may have. Process
3 Procurement strategy: a further meeting with the client reviews all of the products
which are available in the context of the risk profile which has been established.
A procurement strategy then evolves which is unique to that client and which will then
be implemented by our Procurement Team.
Procurement
strategy
Product
Risk Evaluation
PROFILE
Each client-specific Procurement Strategy is unique. Common to all strategies
however, is the concept of constant and Continual Market Assessment. We have developed Procurement
a wide range of Procurement Strategies. Some of the most popular include:
1 Fixed Priced Contracting: 100% of the energy load is procured in a single contract for Strategies
an agreed period of time. The fixed price strategy is always offered with a dynamic
cap linked to Constant Market Price Assessment.
2 Flexible Contracts: the alternative to Fixed Price Contracts are Flexible Contracts and
here there are a huge number of options. The principal idea behind all of them is to
reduce the risk of contracting all the electricity at a high price by spreading that risk
across a number of transactions, the number of which will be dictated by the size and
type of client volume being contracted and the various supplier products available.
The simplest form of Flexible Contract is a Market Tracker with which on a monthly or
quarterly basis, the client takes whatever price the market gives for that period of time. In
the medium term the client should achieve a market average price.
A variant of the Market Tracker is to have a part fixed and part tracker contract, in which
the client agrees to fix a proportion of the volume at a set market rate and allows the
remainder to float. A proactive, dynamic cap is placed to monitor the market and contract
the fixed element while the floating element moves with the market average.
Flexible purchasing can be further extended by breaking down the client’s supply
requirements into a number of separate transactions and contracting each of those
according to a specific strategy, thereby spreading the risk. Each transaction within the
purchasing strategy is subject to our Constant Market Price Assessment.

10. Fixed or Flexible Contracts
There is no right or wrong answer as to whether fixed or flexible
contracts should be used for any particular client. Fixed contracts
do have the attraction of requiring minimal input from the client
and transacting the entire energy load at the same time, thus
‘putting to bed’ the issue for a period of time. However, it does run
the risk of the contract being secured at a price higher than could
be achieved under a flexible contract structure. Flexible contracts
require clients to have more of an input into the procurement
strategy and its execution, but provide a number of additional
benefits such as the ability to transact contracts very quickly and
access to a range of products that are not available under a fixed
contract regime.
Working with us
The Procurement Strategy is agreed between the client and
their Client Manager and thereafter the Procurement Analyst
takes over to implement the strategy. An agreed reporting
frequency is put into place, providing forecasting and reporting
on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to each client. As the
predetermined trigger points are hit within each strategy,
the transactions are undertaken on the client’s behalf.
Results
Energy & Carbon Management has an envious reputation in
terms of results and with the proven methodology which we
have developed over recent years, we are confident in the value
that unique procurement strategies bring to each of our clients.
These strategies have been shown to satisfy our clients’ needs
and provide the best possible opportunities to secure effective
competitive pricing in these increasingly volatile markets.
