Strategic Energy Consulting
Energy Performance & Cost Reduction Strategy
Service Overview
Decision grade energy strategy that protects margins and de risks CapEx.
We help industrial and commercial sites cut energy OpEx and improve resilience by finding what’s really driving cost, then building an investment grade priority plan your Engineering team can execute and Finance can back.
Most sites don’t have an “energy problem”. They have a performance and governance problem: base load drift, controls issues, tariff mismatch, poorly sequenced upgrades, and projects approved without proper risk and payback clarity.
Ascend provides senior level, engineering led analysis and commercial framing so you can make the next 3–5 decisions with confidence.
Services Include
-
Energy baseline and cost driver breakdown (electricity, gas, demand profile, standing charges, pass throughs)
-
Operational losses review (base load drift, control faults, compressed air losses, heat losses, poor sequencing)
-
CapEx options appraisal with ROI and risk ordering (what to do first, what to delay, what to avoid)
-
Business cases and board ready summaries (payback, IRR where needed, risk assumptions, delivery route)
-
On site energy and resilience options (CHP, thermal storage, heat pumps, PV, battery storage, wind life extension)
-
Grid flexibility opportunity screening (demand response, peak avoidance, optimisation of BESS dispatch)
-
PPA and funded delivery route evaluation (CapEx light pathways where budgets are constrained)
-
Implementation roadmap and governance cadence (who owns what, when, and how performance is measured)
Why choose Ascend
Senior, engineering led support that turns plans into outcomes.
We bridge the gap between analysis, governance, and on site reality. That means clearer decisions, tighter commercial control, and deliverable programmes—focused on OpEx reduction, reliability, and value for money, not paperwork.
