For commercial property business

From bespoke metering installations to fully managed energy management services, this suite of solutions are designed to save time, reduce costs, and empower businesses to take control through enhanced visibility of energy consumption. 

The service is designed to help commercial landlords gain greater visibility of energy consumption across their property portfolios or across multiple tenants in a single site. The service provides accurate data that effectively attributes energy consumption, removing the guesswork and clarify billing. It provides scalable flexibility, enhances cost control and transparency and delivers granular data to monitor and reduce energy waste, and enhance property value through improved EPC ratings.

NFU Energy Tailored Contracts

The Tailored Contracts service for commercial estates, provides a new way to manage a property portfolio’s energy contracts. Through a bespoke energy solution, backed by expert advice, it empowers property managers to lock in competitive rates at the right time, while remaining flexible to capitalise on price dips aligned with their estate growth or ESG goals.

For manufacturing businesses

NFU Energy Tailored Contracts is an alternative energy service specifically designed to help industrial manufacturers manage volatile energy markets with smart, dependable, transparent and flexible solutions at competitive rates. Now manufacturers can lock in favourable energy rates, adapt to changing conditions and budget with confidence, all backed with clear and honest support from the dedicated team to help cut through the complexity.

The initial roll out of the services for manufacturers and commercial landlords and property managers will be focussing on the Midlands region.

Howkins continues; “With its manufacturing backbone, strong industrial heritage and vibrant commercial property markets, the Midlands is the ideal place to launch these services into what are new sectors for NFU Energy. With increased volatility in energy costs and the move by businesses to better manage their carbon footprint, these services are increasingly becoming strategically important to businesses. The Midlands provides us with the ultimate launch platform and the opportunity to demonstrate to businesses just how important having the right energy partner is.”
