Cut High Energy Costs in Manufacturing

Energy is often one of the largest controllable costs in manufacturing. A tailored audit identifies inefficiencies across your plant, from equipment overuse to outdated lighting or compressed air systems, and reveals ways to cut consumption, lower bills, and reduce emissions.

See our CASE STUDIES for more information.

It depends on your size. If you qualify under ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) or SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), a formal audit or disclosure is legally required. For smaller or mid-sized manufacturers, voluntary audits can still deliver significant financial and operational benefits.

We analyse your electricity, gas, and water usage, assess key equipment, review daily patterns and consumption peaks, to benchmark your facility against industry best practices. The result, a practical roadmap for cost and carbon savings.

Manufacturing sites are more complex, with energy-intensive machinery, production downtime considerations, and seasonal usage variations. Our audits are built specifically for these environments, factoring in load profiles, process heat, and operational pressures unique to industry.

We support a broad range, from food and drink processors and automotive suppliers to packaging firms and heavy industry. Whether you’re single-site or multi-location, Advantage Utilities  tailor our strategy to suit your operational needs and regulatory responsibilities.

No, we specialise in Manufactuirng, and downtime is one of the most important aspects of working with us. Most assessments are carried out with minimal or no disruption. Where deeper monitoring is required, we work around your production schedule to avoid any impact on output.

Savings vary depending on site size and current performance, but it’s common to see 10–20% reductions in energy costs through optimised procurement, smarter controls, and voltage or equipment upgrades. We quantify this in your audit report.

We’re a full-service partner. Once your audit is complete, we offer hands-on support for implementing recommendations, whether that’s installing smart meters, negotiating new contracts, or sourcing on-site renewable generation.

It depends on the scope, number of sites, size of facility, depth of monitoring. However, we always provide a transparent quote up front, and many clients recover audit costs within the first year of implementation through savings.
