The tendering and evaluation process is increasingly more complex due to the introduction of charges under the Electricity Market Reform Programme. It is essential to understand which charges each supplier has included in their tender as the energy cost can be less than half of the final bill. A knowledge of market trends is fundamental to ensure that contracts are negotiated when the wholesale market is favourable.

Tenant recharges can be problematic and time-consuming with under-recovery of suppliers’ bill value being commonplace. Whether the sub-meters are read manually or remotely we can access the data and produce recharge statements in line with your accounting requirements. In the absence of sub-meters we can offer various billing options based on either floor areas or occupancy levels.

Whether you require a new supply or additional load, Emcon can assist from the initial enquiry to final completion. We would discuss with you or your developer your power requirements and submit quotation requests to the network operator and for any contestable works we can obtain 3rd party quotations. We can then arrange for registration and for the relevant metering to be installed.

When premises revert back to the landlord we can help identify the registered utility suppliers, inform them of the change of tenancy details, and arrange contracts in order to reduce costs If supplies have been disconnected we can arrange re-connection. Often prospective tenants will require confirmation of the existing gas, electricity and water capacities – we can source this information and also request quotations for supply upgrades.
