OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT

“I want to know where the opportunities to improve are”

Opportunity Assessment

An Opportunity Assessment reviews your situation and identifies where you can reduce costs, reduce carbon and reduce risk. The review looks at your spend, consumption, contracts, assets/ estate, processes, strategy, etc.

The Challenges

IT'S A
COMPLEX AREA

Energy is a complex, often technical, broad and deep area – most large organisations don’t have a team of experts in-house. This lack of expertise and know-how means you don’t know where are your opportunities to improve. 

CAN'T SEE THE WOOD FOR THE TREES

Often a fresh pair of eyes, or an external perspective, is able to see opportunities to improve that those who live and breath is every day can’t see

NEW
TECHNOLOGIES

There is a lot of change going on in energy, and new advancements, techniques, funding options, etc. can often make a big improvement
