How does Energy Ready work?
With Energy Ready, you get regular access to industry-leading energy advisers – without the hefty consulting fees you would pay elsewhere. Instead, the Energy Ready model combines a low monthly fee with a fair shared savings arrangement.
So, when we identify a straightforward cost-cutting initiative for your business, we’ll act on it and share a percentage of those savings with you for the next 12 months. From there, the savings are all yours. For years to come.
The Energy Ready Process
First, we talk to you to understand how your business operates and how you use your energy.
Next, we investigate your energy use and expenditure to see how we can reduce your electricity bills.
Key areas of focus are:
Network tariffs, Peak demand, Power factor, Solar PV, Time of use and Demand response
Once we’ve analysed your energy data, we’ll run a workshop with your key staff to deliver our findings and discuss other energy, cost and carbon opportunities.
At this time, you can ask our engineering team to assess a project of interest more closely. We can then execute it through a shared savings arrangement or an agreed fee.
Every month, we monitor your data and alert you to new opportunities as they arise.
We’ll also give you access to a dedicated Energy Ready portal that will help you track some of the most important factors that affect your energy bill.
What opportunities will we discuss?
We can work with you to explore, assess, and implement a wide range of energy and carbon initiatives:
- Are you on the best network tariffs available to you?
- Can you use energy at less expensive times?
- Can you use energy at less carbon intensive times?
- Are you encountering power factor problems that are driving up your bills?
- Can you manage peak demand to reduce network costs?
- Can you benefit from solar energy?
- Could demand response strategies save or even earn you money?
- Could you benefit from a carbon management strategy?
…and many more depending on your business’s needs.
The Energy Ready portal
The Energy Ready portal provides you with more than just simple data insights. It interprets your energy usage data to help you make informed decisions with your energy.
The Energy Ready Portal provides you with:
- Monthly total usage
- Monthly average charges and savings
- Monthly average hourly energy consumption
- Information on power factor and peak demand
- Total savings through the program
Supplementing the advice from our Engineering team, the Energy Ready portal provides you with a range of data analyses designed to help you monitor key factors that affect your electricity bill.
The portal is updated every month using the latest data.
Case Study
In late 2020, one of our customers approached us to assist with an energy audit of their business.
We recommended Energy Ready because the client had no existing energy management strategy in place.
After a desktop analysis, it quickly became apparent that the client’s network tariff was not best suited to their operations.
Flow Power approached the network to negotiate a network tariff change, which was successful.
This resulted in annual savings of $168,000, a reduction of 20% in annual energy costs.
You have opportunities. Reach out to chat to an energy engineering specialist to see what you could be saving with Energy Ready.
