In today’s climate-conscious and cost-sensitive business environment, energy management has become a critical component of operations. Organisations must balance the need for regulatory compliance, cost savings, and sustainability with ever-increasing energy demands. Sparkling Solutions Ltd provides comprehensive Energy Consultancy Services designed to help businesses navigate these challenges, reduce costs, and achieve their environmental goals.
Why Energy Consultancy Matters
Energy consultancy is about more than cutting utility bills. It’s about helping organisations future-proof their operations while demonstrating leadership in sustainability and regulatory compliance. With expertise spanning regulatory frameworks, cost reduction strategies, and decarbonisation pathways, we provide actionable solutions to help your business thrive.
Our Core Services
At Sparkling Solutions Ltd, we offer tailored energy consultancy services that empower businesses to optimise energy use, meet compliance requirements, and contribute to a sustainable future. Here’s how we help
Regulatory Compliance: SECR, ESOS, and Carbon Reporting
Navigating the complex web of energy regulations is daunting for many businesses. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, reputational damage, and missed opportunities for improvement. Our team provides comprehensive support for compliance with key frameworks, including
- SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting):
We help businesses collect, analyse, and report energy consumption and carbon emissions data in compliance with SECR. This annual reporting requirement not only ensures legal compliance but also enhances transparency and environmental accountability. - ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme):
ESOS mandates energy audits for qualifying large organisations in the UK. Our ESOS-compliant audits identify cost-saving opportunities while meeting legal requirements. - Science-Based Targets (SBTi):
For organisations aiming to align their strategies with global climate goals, we assist in setting and reporting against science-based targets, ensuring measurable progress toward reducing emissions.
Energy Cost Reliefs and Exemptions: CCA and EII
Energy-intensive businesses often face substantial operating costs due to high energy consumption. Sparkling Solutions helps organisations access key cost-relief schemes, such as:
- Climate Change Agreements (CCA):
CCAs offer discounts on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) for energy-intensive industries that meet energy efficiency targets. We guide businesses through the process of securing and maintaining CCAs, unlocking substantial savings. - Energy-Intensive Industries (EII) Exemptions:
Eligible businesses in sectors like steel, ceramics, and chemicals can receive partial exemptions from policy costs under schemes like the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Contracts for Difference (CfD). We assess eligibility, ensure compliance, and maximise the benefits for our clients.
Decarbonisation Audits and Assessments
The transition to a low-carbon economy requires more than just reducing energy use—it demands a holistic approach to decarbonisation. We offer:
- Heat Decarbonisation Plans (HDP):
Heat decarbonisation is critical for achieving net zero. We develop tailored HDPs, exploring options such as heat pumps, district heating, and waste heat recovery to replace carbon-intensive heating systems. - Net Zero Pathways and Assessments:
Our comprehensive Net Zero Assessments provide a roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. This includes carbon footprint analysis, energy efficiency measures, renewable energy integration, and offset strategies.
Energy Audits: ASHRAE Level 1, 2, 3
Energy audits are a cornerstone of effective energy management, helping businesses identify inefficiencies and optimise energy use. At Sparkling Solutions, we provide ASHRAE-standard audits tailored to the scale and complexity of your operations:
- Level 1 (Preliminary Audit):
A high-level evaluation of energy use to identify quick wins for savings with minimal investment. - Level 2 (Detailed Audit):
A deeper analysis of energy end-use, focusing on actionable strategies with detailed financial projections. - Level 3 (Investment-Grade Audit):
A comprehensive, engineering-based assessment designed to provide the data necessary for large-scale energy investments.
