Customised energy management solutions that integrate all sites

Energy Genie has extensive experience dealing with multi-site clients such as businesses with multiple locations, franchises, buying groups, associations with local chapters, body corporate management companies, and district management organisations; with portfolios ranging from five sites to several thousand sites.

This means we know how to best handle the unique challenges, needs and complexities of this type of portfolio which is inherently complex due to the number of sites being managed and the wide variations in requirements for each site.

Streamline your bills

Businesses managing multiple sites save time and hassles with accounts combined into one convenient bill, which can be managed easily and quickly, so valuable resources and time can be focussed on your main business objectives.

Minimise unnecessary overheads

Coordinated accounts may prove beneficial in reducing energy costs due to greater bargaining power when purchasing your energy in bulk, which gives us more leverage when negotiating with energy suppliers on your behalf.

Accurately monitor consumption

Where feasible we implement intelligent metering which not only allows you to accurately monitor energy consumption across multiple sites, it allows us to monitor your usage for inconsistencies or red flags to avoid nasty surprises.

Look after sites of all sizes

We provide a thorough independent solution, painstakingly put together after considering every minute detail for all sizes of sites or members within a group, leaving no stone unturned to maximize the benefits for all.

Integrate member rewards

If your group has a rewards program in place, we can create extra value whereby members receive additional benefits for being part of the group deal, on top of the cost benefits of accessing a competitive group offer.

Track member uptake

We provide regular updates so you see how many of your members are taking up your group offer.  The more members join, the more your group benefits from bulk efficiencies when it comes time to renew your group energy offer.

Why work with us

Why use Energy Genie to negotiate a group deal?

A lack of centralised thinking in terms of energy procurement, cost and consumption management across multi-site businesses or groups can create chaos with costs.

Keeping on top of multiple sites can be confusing and time consuming, with different prices and terms applying to different properties based not only on energy usage but also on the distribution area, voltage, tariff and if it is bundled or unbundled; requiring a detailed understanding of how energy pricing works to be able to compare apples with apples and calculate benefits.

Added to that, over time the site list shifts as sites are bought and sold, opened and closed, move locations, or property extensions are built.  If not properly managed, energy contracts and meters end up on ad hoc contracts, with random end dates and suppliers, making renewals a full time job, and cost efficiencies difficult to find.

As experienced specialists we have the comprehensive knowledge required to achieve successful results with a consolidated understanding of your energy consumption and associated costs, along with our Best Practice Energy Procurement.

We bring your entire portfolio into line, removing the difficulty and risk from finding the best group solution which caters to the needs of all sites, and check the results by assessing how each and every site would fare on the group deal, so no property is disadvantaged.

Why use Energy Genie to monitor and manage my portfolio?

Managing the electricity contract for any business is a confusing and time consuming quest, and this task quickly becomes mammoth for businesses or groups with multiple properties. Understanding the effect of network increases, demand tariffs and changing energy regulations is hard enough for one site, much less numerous sites which can each be affected differently.

At Energy Genie, our turn key solutions span across from Best Practice Energy Procurement into Energy Cost Management. This means we are here for you every step of the way – from finding a suitable energy contract, to assisting transition to the new contract, and for regular monitoring of your accounts to manage your portfolio.

It is our monitoring and management of your accounts that ultimately gets the best out of your portfolio of sites in the long term. This requires periodic reviews of detailed usage data from intelligent meters, so we initially conduct a careful cost benefit analysis for each site to assess whether installing an intelligent meter is feasible.

For properties that are able to have the intelligent meters we can minimise business energy risk and maximise opportunities as we can identify abnormalities or red flags in a timely manner, to give your business time to respond before the issue grows out of proportion. Our experience in data analysis also means that we can recognise when it may be time to change to more cost effective tariffs, which can make a substantial difference to energy expenditure.

Another benefit is that the regular reporting from this data enables you to accurately monitor energy consumption across multiple sites, making budgeting more realistic and precise.

Additionally, to stay ahead of the game, we avidly keep up to date with all changes and legislative requirements in the constantly evolving energy sector, so that our managed clients always benefit from the latest information insights and first mover advantage.

What is Energy Genie's Best Practice Energy Procurement?

Our Best Practice Energy Procurement process sources cost effective electricity prices with energy contract terms suitable to the energy usage patterns of your business to deliver long term savings.

It involves defining your current site requirements by sorting, collating and analyzing detailed usage data for the last 12 months, preparing and presenting the site load profile to capable energy retailers to seek offers, evaluating offers and terms from energy retailers, negotiating favorable terms which minimize penalties or optimize discounts based on the characteristics of the individual energy account, calculating cost comparisons for each individual site, presenting and explaining the offers to your business, organizing and lodging offer acceptance paperwork, followed by validating the first bill of the new energy contract to ensure it complies with the original offer.

What is Energy Genie's Energy Cost Management?

Throughout the year we periodically examine the daily usage and demand levels of the electricity that your business used in order to identify any abnormalities or spikes so that prompt action can be taken if corrective measures are required to reduce costs.

A comprehensive evaluation is also undertaken annually and if the site’s usage pattern changes, to review the monthly usage and demand levels, assess the maximum demand and analyze the annual network tariff, to evaluate whether adjustments may be made to reap additional savings.

Furthermore, our proactive Energy Management service means that we are constantly scanning the energy market for dips in pricing, so we can enable your business to take advantage of these opportunities to save by sourcing future energy contract offers for your business that lock in low prices when market conditions are favorable.
