Energy can represent a significant spend for businesses and organisations.

In the current economic climate and with ever increasing upward pressure on costs, it has never been more important to ensure not only accurate billing but also excellent value for money.

For businesses, researching the energy market can be time consuming and confusing. Ofgem encourages Suppliers to reduce and simplify the number of tariffs available is aimed at the residential market, there are no such limitations for commercial tariffs. Given the number of variables in business energy profiles, it is not straightforward to assess what tariff will best suit a particular site when obtaining quotes from multiple Suppliers.

Brokers will search the market but they may not have in depth knowledge and understanding of your supply and demand. As a Client of Ginger Energy, our Clients will have benefited from an audit of historic consumption and billing, so we know exactly what assets and demands of your business. We use this knowledge to identify the tariffs that best match assets and the demands and deliver the best value.

If a Client is not under contract with an energy Supplier when they engage us or their contract ends, Ginger will source the best terms in the market for your meter class and usage profile and provide our recommendation. Most importantly, our recommendation is wholly based upon what we believe is the best value for money for our Clients. Once the quote is accepted, we arrange the contract and manage the change of supply process.

There may be other factors to consider such as a requirement for green energy, online billing and we ensure to include these requirements in our research and recommendation. Whether Clients require risk free contracts or base load power purchasing, hedging, multi- purchasing points or daily purchasing, our experts can advise accordingly.

Importantly, there are no direct fees for procurement as we get a commission for switching our Clients provider from the incoming Supplier.

Our five core services

Revenue RecoveryWe review and analyse the last six years billing data and identify any errors. We then contact the Supplier to arrange for the billing to be corrected and have any overcharges refunded to our Clients.

Dispute ResolutionRaising a query with an energy Supplier is often a time consuming and can be a frustrating often without initial success. We’ll validate any Client disputes and if we agree there’s an error, present it to the Supplier, taking full ownership of the problem until resolution. This leaves our Clients free to focus on their core business.

Portfolio ManagementFor Clients with multiple sites, meters and Suppliers. We will obtain regular reads from site to ensure accurate energy invoicing. In addition we’ll optimise the energy savings by migrating all sites / meters to (usually) a single contract with Suppliers. This is so our Client’s business benefits from the most favourable discounts and best tariffs available. We will also take responsibility of the ongoing site management including liaising between Clients and Suppliers to notify the relevant party of change in ownership in properties.

Invoice ValidationAfter Revenue Recovery, we monitor and analyse our Clients billing to ensure no further errors occur. We will review and authorise our Clients invoices for payment, ensuring billing accurately reflects the consumption and contractual terms.

ProcurementIf our Client is not under contract with an energy Supplier(s) when they engage us, or our Clients contract ends, we source the best terms in the market for their requirements and provide them with our recommendation. Once approved by our Client, we will arrange the contract on their behalf and manage the change-of-supply process for them. Importantly, we guarantee that our recommendation is founded upon what is best for our Clients business, not ours.
