Business Energy Consultants | Here's The Plan Ltd

They took time to understand our business and the implementation proceeded problem free.

Enesco are one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of Giftware in Europe. As such compliance with the packaging waste regulations are an important aspect of our business.

In 2005 Enesco reviewed how it compiled information under these regulations and after assessing several options chose to work with Here’s The Plan (then European Utility Consultants) and Compliance Link. Together these providers offered a one-stop service at every stage of the Compliance system. They took time to understand our business and the implementation proceeded problem free. To date we are happy with the service we have received. We now have a more robust system that has delivered the projected cost savings. I would therefore be pleased to recommend the services of Here’s The Plan in providing compliance with the packaging waste regulations.

We have helped businesses just like yours with large billing disputes that occurred before they were our client, and negotiated the refunds they deserved.

Every contract, every time.

With 25 years' experience in utilities and compliance management, we confidently advise our clients not only of the best time to buy, but also how to reduce the number of units used by designing and helping to implement energy reduction strategies, meter profile changes and more. It's not just about energy and compliance, it's about a business relationship built on trust.

Working to a tight deadline Here's The Plan collated a raft of information and made a successful application which will save our business around £100k over the next three years.

We were recommended to engage with Here’s the Plan and take advantage of their no obligation review of our approach to energy procurement and sustainability. They identified an opportunity to save money on our energy bills by signing up to the Climate Change Agreement, which we had been unaware of. Working to a tight deadline they collated a raft of information and made a successful application on our behalf which will save our business around £100K over the next 3 years. The team at Here’s the Plan are continuing to work with us to make sure we meet our energy reduction targets and report on our progress correctly. I would encourage anyone wanting a realistic plan to reduce their utility costs and carbon footprint to engage with Here’s the Plan.

I’ve installed solar panels – How do I get money for my export?

This is a question that we hear all too often at Here’s the Plan and is often the reason that new clients come to us for help. Many businesses have installed solar PV arrays over the last few years and made the decision to go ahead based on the Return on Investment business case presented to them by their installer. Often this includes revenue from exporting the predicted excess generation via a Power Purchase Agreement or Smart Export Guarantee.
