Savings Through Compliance Optimising Charging Mechanisms
Workshop 1 Optimising Charging Mechanisms 1st March 2017 Ari Sinai & Dave Moore Contact our specialists today: Tel:
2
Today’s Approach Introduction – Setting the Scene of the Workshop Take one or two Examples – from your bills? Hopefully we all leave here knowing that energy tariff structure underpins savings opportunities, and good energy taxation savings opportunities frequently exist
3
Put Carbon Compliance in Context
3. What? Levies and taxes on your bills (e.g. CCL, RO FIT) v Incentives for you to: Improve energy/carbon purchasing Manage energy/carbon Invest in energy tech 3. WHAT 2. HOW 1. WHY 2. How? Legislation & spending e.g. Climate Change Act, Energy Act, Decarbonisation Targets, FiT, RHI… the list goes on! 1. Why? The ‘UK’ wants to drive down Carbon Emissions (but needs to balance related tax revenues, budget spends, economies/markets/jobs in related sectors) Asking WHY for example Central Government is doing something helps to put into context how and what is then done to achieve their goal. Of course the question can be even more complex at EU or Global level!
4
What is Government Trying to Make Us Do With Selective Taxation?
Use Less Carbon Use Renewable Energy Use Smart Equipment – Not just to save consumption but to move its use to less “Peak Loading” times. Doing the Right Thing = Paying Less With Complexity it can be easy to pay too much. Procuring the right structures means you can do the right thing in Managing & Investing.
5
Why Focus on Utility Bills & Taxes?
Interpretation of legislative requirements in your specific situation (rules often complex – fresh pair of eyes often helps e.g. CRC savings of ~£40K/y at a university) CCL exemption / discount opportunities e.g. CCA, CCL Minmet & CHPQA e.g. automotive >£400K/y, semiconductor plant >£20K/y Tariff Restructuring to Enable Load Shifting Savings e.g. metal sector tariff restructuring enabled >£50K/y load shifting savings to be realised in-house

Demystifying an Electricity Bill
Commodity Prices – the actual energy price Taxes & Infrastructure – these charges are based around the units/carbon Demand Based Charges – Tend to be based around your demand or units used in periods of the country’s highest demand

Procurement & Legislative Opportunities
3. WHAT 2. HOW 1. WHY 3. What? Interpreting bills and legislation to understand the value of opportunities. Procurement policies/practices to reflect cross-cutting themes. 2. How? Understand how you use energy and how it might be manipulated to do the right thing and save money. Procure to achieve the wider integrated goals. 1. Why? To save ££, to do the right thing (environmental, welfare of future generations). Procuring can mean many things, from ensuring you have the right structures e.g. no point in a simple single rate offer if you plan to move load. Legislative opportunities range from minimising CRC & CCL payments to obtaining refunds.

Appendix 2 – Taxes & Infrastructure Charges
~30 – 35% of typical electricity cost ~20 – 25% of typical gas cost Some key elements of this: CCL = Climate Change Levy = tax on sale of fossil fuels CRC = Carbon Reduction Commitment – in scheme if UK group received >6,000MWh of qualifying elec through half-hourly meters Apr 2012 – Mar 2013

AVOIDS POTENTIALLY BIG OVERCHARGES OF UP TO 250%!!!!
Appendix 4 – Bill & Taxation Checking Recommend monthly meter readings – why? Know your bill in advance To verify billed energy – estimates are always in the supplier’s favour!! To verify taxation elements e.g. CCL & VAT Automated meter reading (AMR) or smart meter systems not always correct e.g. incorrect or missing data Support compliance schemes e.g. CHPQA AVOIDS POTENTIALLY BIG OVERCHARGES OF UP TO 250%!!!!
