Energy Management Services
Collection of Consumption Data
Blizzard can collect the consumption data from your set data collector/data aggregator. This data will then be uploaded into our energy management software once confirmed as accurate data.
​
Collection and Validation of Consumption Data
Blizzard can import and validate consumption data for Half Hourly meters
and provide data exports on an ad-hoc or scheduled basis.
Provisional Invoice Creation
Blizzard can use the verified consumption data and incorporate into our energy management software. This data is then correlated with the contractually agreed tariff information that we also hold in our energy management system, and an accurate provisional invoice will be generated. This will portray a detailed account of the potential expenditure for any invoice period. Blizzard will explain any provisional/actual invoice discrepancies that exceed a 5% variance threshold.
Invoice Validation
Blizzard can also validate any gas, electricity and water invoices using our energy management system. Initially, we will check that the consumption aligns with the data used for invoiced purposes. Further, we will ensure that every applied charge has been invoiced accurately, with our energy management software meticulously comparing the invoice to the agreed contract rates.
Definitive Confirmation of Invoices Valid to Pay
Blizzard can send a detailed invoice report that confirms the definitive record of invoices that have passed our validation checks and are therefore valid to pay. The report will also identify any invoices that have been raised that do not align with the tariff information and therefore are invalid to pay.
​
Forefront Invoice Queries on Behalf of the Customer
For any invoices that are invalid to pay, Blizzard can forefront any invoice queries on behalf of the customer. This would typically involve ensuring a credit and rebill is raised as soon as possible to rectify the original invoice error.
Available Reporting Suite
Blizzard’s energy management portal has an extensive reporting suite that can cater to all reporting requirements. The reports can be run on invoice or meter consumption data,and the reporting detail can be as extensive as determining consumption anomalies for any half-hourly period. All reports can be scheduled to run at your request.
Full Management Service
The management service package will include all of the services detailed above.

Carbon Offsetting
What is carbon offsetting?
The more a business can do to reduce its carbon footprint, the better for the planet! More and more businesses are
choosing to offset their remaining carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits. One carbon credit avoids the emission of 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent into the atmosphere, by investing in projects such as renewable energy generation or avoided deforestation programmes. Your energy consumption still happens, and the CO2 is still emitted, but elsewhere in the world an action is taken to offset it.
What are the benefits?
> You are doing your bit to help save the environment!
> You can advertise that you offset your energy emissions -providing a strong, positive, forward-thinking message to customers, prospects, partners and employees.
> You'll receive a certificate to put on display confirming that your business has offset your gas and electricity usage for a given year
> You'll receive a digital badge that you can add to your website and marketing material.
