LATEST MARKET UPDATE: Following a spate of panic-buying yesterday (12th January), gas and power prices have opened down in early trading this morning. Spot prices remain historically high today, but indications are that European traders’ anxieties following a spike in demand in the Asian markets may have been excessive.

12-20%
The RGF can typically save 12-20% off your total energy consumption without the need to use your precious capital or enter into complex leasing arrangements.
RGF in Practice How does it work?
1. Unlocking the upfront investment
Energy spend is a ‘distressed purchase’, i.e. it’s not your core business and you wouldn’t buy energy if you had any other choice. In many cases, being environmentally conscious loses out when competing with capital projects affecting ‘core’ business activities.
An RGF will fund these measures, unlocking the investment and the energy savings without the need to use precious capital. Any funds accumulated will be transferred into the RGF immediately, creating a cash fund enabling energy saving measures to be delivered.
2. Sourcing the best energy supply to suit your requirements
We will source the best price and product for your energy requirement which, in some cases, will result in an immediate reduction in utility costs.
3. Minimising the Risk
Utility Team is here to support all aspects of the RGF, from initial project identification right through to (and beyond) commissioning of a delivered project.
We work with carefully chosen suppliers of innovative energy reduction technologies to ensure you get the best possible equipment and value for money.
Scope
Utility Team will work with you to understand what you want to achieve from the RGF.
Some of the key considerations include what your aim is, whether that is cost/carbon saving ambitions, delivering essential asset upgrades and future proofing your site or investing in on-site generation, monitoring and targeting software.
We'll review what your timelines are, long or short-term. What the readiness of your product is, it may not have been identified, it may need work or it may be ready for investment. We also assess what level of funding is required.
Secure
Once your objectives are known, Utility Team deploy our in-house experts to develop the fund.
To do this, we will review your current energy consumption and forecast spend. We'll also determine the best energy supplier and contract. Following this we'll formalise the funding offer.
Deploy
Utility Team has an extensive network of delivery partners across a wide range of services and technologies. You can, of course, use the RGF to deliver existing projects with your current supply chain partners but should you need our support, we are on hand.
Succeed
We work with you to develop the agreed project success factors and will closely monitor and report on project performance. We do this by developing robust measurement and verification processes. Assessing contractual terms that include savings, performance and availability guarantees. We ensure operation and maintenance contracts are in place prior to commissioning and the appropriate warranties are suitable and defects are addressed promptly.
