Energy Roadmap – a long term cost reduction and de-risking strategy
Tackle energy use as a strategic opportunity. Our Energy Roadmap service helps your business reduce cost, carbon and risk – with a practical plan to optimise energy use and deliver lasting impact across your operations and portfolio.
Energy Roadmap
Why is an Energy Roadmap important?
Energy is often your biggest controllable cost – but most businesses manage it reactively, wasting money and missing opportunities.
An Energy Roadmap flips that. It gives you a clear strategy to:
- Cut costs through smarter energy use, saving money
- Target the biggest efficiency wins
- Build the case for low-carbon investment
- Shrink Scope 1 and 2 emissions, cutting carbon
- Stay ahead of regulation and price shocks, reducing risk
This isn’t just an audit. It’s your plan to save money, cut carbon, and reduce risk.
How we deliver energy and cost reductions
1. Energy Portfolio and Baseline
We start by creating an energy baseline for your entire portfolio. This baseline serves as the foundation for understanding your current energy consumption and identifying areas for improvement.
2. Targets & Action Plans
Next, we collaborate with you to set ambitious but achievable energy targets for your portfolio and, should you wish, individual sites too. We will provide recommendations aimed at minimising energy usage and improving operational efficiency to help you achieve your targets and work with you to set a programme of actions.
3. Scenario Modelling
We then develop an energy scenario model that projects your portfolio’s energy usage over the coming years. This model considers your established targets and planned actions, providing a clear vision of your future energy landscape.
4. Reviewing
Each year, we will review energy use across your portfolio to review whether you are on track to meeting your targets and identify potential risks & opportunities.
5. Execution
If you would like our help in implementation of the roadmap, we have accompanying services that can elevate your results and saving including our energy monitoring and targeting reports, energy audits and our energy management service.
If you can measure it, you can monitor it!

The role of Energy Roadmaps for Net Zero
Mostly, Scope 1 and 2 emissions come directly from the energy you use. Cutting them is often the most cost-effective and controllable part of your Net Zero journey.
Aligning your energy strategy to Net Zero enables you to:
Focus on actions that deliver both environmental and financial return
Comply with frameworks like ESOS, SECR and SBTi
De-risk long-term energy supply and exposure to carbon pricing
Demonstrate progress to investors, regulators, and customers
We help you turn energy into a competitive advantage – not just a cost or compliance issue.
Strategic energy roadmap – the benefits: cost/energy reductions
Our customer is a large entertainment complex who had two key requirements: to reduce energy demand, and meet compliance with Energy Savings Opportunities Scheme (ESOS). With expertise to help with both, they chose Energise.
