Espace Energy is a service from the REMIDi Group. Its role is to provide professionally-based, best-value, corporate and public authority energy procurement services of the highest standard.

 

Initially servicing large multi-site business, The REMIDi Group's services became the choice for an increasing number of public authority sites, including schools and substantial NHS Trusts.

 

Services in the power sector now include:

  •    Energy Contract Procurement
  •   Invoice Validation
  •   Energy Management and demand reduction 
  •   Customer Relationship Management
  •   Guaranteed income from on-site power generation

ESPACE Energy is different.

 

This division of AFFORDABLE Energy came as a direct result of seeing the inflexible and unnecessarily expensive alternatives that were being offered to predominantly Public Authority users.


Whereas existing Central Purchasing Bodies (CPBs) or Public Buying Organisations (PBOs)  often contract with one power supplier and then add and operate a costly management service, at ESPACE we reduce costs by arranging direct supply contracts between suppliers and users, and manage contracts without any additional charge.


Our pricing process always includes price benchmarking and the added value of our Power Partnership Service.

 

ESPACE Energy guarantees BEST VALUE
with full-time, expert, in-contract management.


Sourcing normal energy contracts is a time-consuming activity.  Add the need for quality with assured best value and the demands on your time and your resources increase even more. At ESPACE Energy, we have a team of energy management experts who understand the complexities of negotiating the best tariffs for private, public and local authority organisations.

 

 

With the intimate knowledge of your requirements, gained by employing our unique Power Partnership Service, we can manage your entire energy procurement and contract maintenance process; from securing the best terms and pricing, through to providing on-going monitoring of the appointed supplier, you will benefit, without any charge, from a dedicated support service direct to your nominated manager throughout the entire contract period - and beyond.

 

To maintain our high standard of customer service each customer is assigned a dedicated account manager who in turn reports direct to a senior energy specialist.  It assures you receive continuity of advice and a high level of personal service.

 

If your appetite for risk management allows you to consider Purchasing in Advance (PIA) or Purchasing within Period (PWP) then we task our suppliers to quote on such a basis and then to validate their choice throughout the contract term.


When tracking PIA/PWP over a 5 year period we found no evidence of any sustained benefit which led us to develop in-contract Flex-purchasing. This allows you to start with a 12-24 month contract with options to extend (for any period and at any time) at advantageous pricing. The flex reviews are dictated by market conditions and allow you to take advantage of price movement.


Buying at wholesale pricing is another option. It is often quoted as a method to save money yet needs careful planning of what are termed the pass-through cost elements. We frequently undertake this buying method and work closely with suppliers and your buying team to ensure we are able to acheive best value. 

 

Through our energy trade association links, we continuously receive information on the latest market intelligence, real-time daily wholesale price trends and industry developments.  We use this to tailor the advice we give to you enabling you to make informed decisions on energy management throughout your contract period.
