Do I need Energy Bureau Services?

Securing your energy contract is the first step in delivering a successful energy strategy. Our Energy Bureau Services, including invoice validation, budgets and forecasting, and reporting, will help you proactively manage your energy strategy and ensure that your energy contract delivers against your organisation’s energy objectives.

Energy Bureau Services - Invoice Validation Manufacturing

Invoice validation – only pay for what you use.

We believe in simplifying energy management, which is why our energy invoice validation service takes the hassle out of checking your energy bills to ensure you only pay for the energy you consume. Using industry-leading technology, we will check every detail of your invoice including commodity and non-commodity factors such as unit rate, consumption, and environmental levies. As part of the service, you will receive a monthly report from us and if any invoice isn’t accurate, we will work with the supplier to resolve the issue for you and recover any overcharges.

Accruals – prevent unwanted surprises.

Managing cash flow is critical for all organisations, which is why we designed our accruals services to give you clarity and confidence. We provide you with monthly projections for what your energy bills will be, this is broken down by site and meter. Also, following invoice validation we can provide a query report for any money owed by suppliers and one detailing any missing invoices. This will allow you to manage your energy budget accordingly.
