7 Contract energy management ENER-G partners with both the public and private sectors to develop communal energy schemes which deliver both environmental and economic benefits. We design, finance and operate complete communal heating solutions for residential apartments, commercial and industrial buildings. Where funding is required, we are able to provide capital investment in the energy centre and the meter assets around the site. As part of our complete utility solution we shoulder all the technical and operating risks of the plant to deliver benefits to the customer through reduced maintenance spend as well as lower energy costs. The level of the ongoing operations and maintenance service (O&M) has a major effect on the lifetime of communal heating schemes. This is why we offer a number of O&M packages covering the plant room and related equipment. We have a highly qualified team of employed service engineers in place who are available 24/7 to deliver the highest standard of service. Managed service agreement With a significant number of unmetered households in the UK, high numbers of residents have to pay fixed charges for their energy. Quite often this is included within their rent, but research shows that these charges are disproportionately higher than their actual consumption. communal housing schemes means residents pay fair charges for what they actually use, thereby changing behaviour and encouraging responsible consumption of energy. This Managed service agreement means that there is no initial capital outlay for the metering system, plus you get the benefit of a comprehensive data management and billing service package. Our charges for these activities are more than paid for by the savings accrued by the client (landlord) and the consumer. The typical contractual period of the service agreement is 10 years. Our projects show typical savings of between 30-40% per annum, which would take most residents out of fuel poverty as well as covering the operating costs of our services. We aim to deliver service excellence and the continual achievement of high levels of customer satisfaction. Energy solutions for the residential market 7
