Over £400 million a year is spent on energy in hospitals and healthcare centres (Carbon Trust, 2016); which is a heck of a lot when you consider some of the other cutbacks that the Public Sector often face.
Therefore, it’s important that hospitals, NHS doctors’ surgeries and medical centres delve deeper into the energy market when procuring a competitive supply contract to ensure they’re able to start managing energy consistently.
At Crown Gas & Power, we are able to adapt our service to a vast array of Public Sector organisations as well as SMEs and companies which also fit into Ofgem’s Micro Business Criteria. In the healthcare sector, it’s come to our attention (Carbon Trust, 2016) that paying your utility bills can be an extremely costly expense.
Something which we think you shouldn’t have to worry about!
This is why our Account Managers at Crown Gas & Power will provide a service which perfectly benefits the Public Sector & healthcare centres. Most importantly, you’ll be able to lock in a fixed price. Avoiding hikes for as long as 48 months. That should help you avoid overspending. Further allowing you to budget for the more important areas of your healthcare facility.
In addition, as a Public Sector NHS Trust, you’ll be able to benefit from our multiple site commercial gas services; ensuring that each medical facility under your control remains in therm control of their gas consumption.
Checking your consumption is pivotal; especially when such a high amount is spent on commercial energy. Make sure you’re regularly evaluating how much gas (or electricity) your NHS healthcare centres consume throughout each month.
Therefore, we also present to our customers a number of energy saving tips to help your organisation consume cost efficiently. Not only helping you budget but also allowing you to add a “green stamp” to your health centres.
The first element to maintaining control over your energy supply is to source a competitive contract. This might not be as easy to obtain. Therefore, we’d probably suggest meeting with a commercial energy consultant directly; avoid comparison websites. The reason for this is because a consultant can provide a personalised service accompanied by extensive market intelligence.
