Section 1. Introduction

Welcome to the latest edition of U.K. Energy Efficiency Trends (Vol.24), the leading source of market insight for the energy efficiency sector. Well, what a difference a quarter makes… After the extended downward trajectory of the last 12 months, we came to describe last quarter’s result as ‘dour’; order books drying up perhaps as Brexit uncertainty appeared to take hold. What a contrast now; the outlook feels materially changed. Positive sentiment amongst suppliers has returned with a bound as orders – and the value of those orders – have increased. Suppliers also reported an expectation of more of the same next quarter. So good news. Last time we also pointed to the rise of ‘smart building’ technologies in the results. And this quarter we’ve seen building energy management systems (BEMS) rival the long-standing market leader, LED lighting, for the top spot in the technologies listing. It’s possible that the next set of results could show a new market leader! So it’s been an upbeat and interesting quarter – and we’ve hardly mentioned Brexit (which is perhaps just as well at this point). As ever, if you have any questions or queries in relation to the findings please do get in touch.

Section 2. Executive Summary

The EEVS/Bloomberg Energy Efficiency Trends Survey (Vol.24) was completed

by 67 U.K.-based respondents (36 consumer organizations and 31 suppliers),

between July 10 and August 10, 2018. Their answers relate to the situation in the

second quarter of 2018.

2.1. Supplier trends

Figure 1: Market Monitor – tracking industry confidence

Source: EEVS, Bloomberg NEF. Note: based on weighted confidence indicators from Figures 3,

4, 5, 6, and 9. Zero represents neutrality.

• Overall confidence: figure 1 above shows market confidence rebounding sharply this

quarter following an extended period when confidence was low and declining (to the point of

outright pessimism). With suppliers in more positive mood, this step-change in confidence is

also forecast to continue into 3Q. Some of main reasons for this change in sentiment are

highlighted below:

• Orders: the sector enjoyed a welcome uptick this quarter, following a sustained 12-month

downward trend. Figure 3 shows that 52% of suppliers saw order book growth in the last

three months, with only 13% reporting declines (this compares to 33% in the previous

quarter).

• Staffing: it was a cautiously optimistic quarter from a recruitment perspective. While the

majority of suppliers reported no change in staffing levels (continuing a long-term trend),

growth in headcount was still reported by 35% of suppliers and only 16% saw declines.

Suppliers forecast further recruitment in the next quarter.

• Prices: in a material change to the long-term trend toward static pricing across the sector,

this quarter some 40% of respondents reported price increases (see Figure 6), the most since

the survey began. This is expected to be a short, sharp price correction, however, as

suppliers said that they didn’t expect these increases to continue into 3Q.

• Government action: on energy efficiency policy, supplier sentiment remains firmly in

negative territory with over half of respondents considering the current policy framework to be

ineffective. Still, there was a modest uptick this quarter, perhaps in response to the recent

BEIS consultation ‘Building a market for energy efficiency: call for evidence’. In relation to the

wider economy, sentiment remains equally negative; less than 20% of respondents consider

the U.K. government to be effectively managing the economy.

2.2. Consumer trends

Figure 2: Consumers commissioning efficiency projects

Source: EEVS, Bloomberg NEF. Note: shows the proportion of respondents who have

commissioned (or plan to commission) projects in a given quarter.

• Procurement: figure 2 above shows a firm uptick in projects commissioned by customers in

2Q 2018 (mirroring supplier feedback also set out above). And although this doesn’t reach

the peaks of 2015, the result this quarter is a positive shift following five consecutive quarters

of below-average consumer investment.

• Technologies: figure 11 (see page 9) shows a material change to the leading technologies

being commissioned by customers this quarter; Building Energy Management Systems

(BEMS) now being commissioned by more than 60% of active consumer respondents. The

growth in BEMS uptake this quarter sustains the gains of the previous quarter and, were this

trend to continue into next quarter, BEMS could potentially overtake lighting as the number

one technology choice. Given the dominance of lighting since the survey began, this could be

a significant shift for the sector, so it will be very interesting to see the results next time.

• Spending: figure 15 (page 11) shows a significant uptick in customer spending this quarter,

primarily driven by a jump in large-scale projects (£500k+). Accounting for 42% of projects,

this was by far the strongest quarter for the largest schemes since the survey began.

However, as our research also shows, spending patterns can be volatile, and it will be

interesting to see if this level of spending continues next time, or if we get something of a ‘yo-

yo effect’ as further procurement is deferred while existing schemes are delivered.

• Expected Payback: figure 17 (page 12) shows that customers now typically expect financial

‘returns’ from their investments within four years – a slight tightening on the previous quarter.

This is something of an unexpected result set within the context of the price increases

reported by suppliers (see fig. 6) and the commissioning of larger-scale projects (see fig.15)

that tend to have longer paybacks associated.

• Performance Measurement & Verification: project transparency and accountability has

continued to improve this quarter, with more than 60% of customers now reporting the

inclusion of good practice performance analysis and verification to help demonstrate the

savings ‘returns’ attributable to their investments.

Appendices

Appendix A: Methodology

The EEVS/Bloomberg Energy Efficiency Trends Survey (Vol.24) was conducted between July 10

and August 10, 2018, and completed by 67 U.K.-based respondents (36 consumer organizations

and 31 suppliers).

This is the 24th in a series of reports showing industry trends in non-residential energy efficiency.

As the report series evolves, we continue to make minor tweaks.

Initially, the report covered a broad range of European countries, but since Volume 8, it has

presented U.K.-based results only, as these consistently accounted for the bulk of data received.

In focusing the report on a single country with better data coverage, we were able to present

cleaner, more robust results. This coincided with a revamp of the analysis including – among other

modifications – the introduction of a set of time series charts.

Please reach out should you wish to discuss any of the trends observed in the charts.
