Efficient management of gas and electricity for businesses is essential for maintaining operational profitability across commercial property portfolios. Whether you own office spaces, retail units, or mixed-use developments in London and other major UK cities, securing competitive utility arrangements is critical to maximising tenant satisfaction and long-term returns.
At Fraser Bond, we support investors and commercial landlords with comprehensive strategies that extend beyond acquisitions — including smart management of essential services like gas and electricity.
Energy costs form a significant portion of a property’s operational expenses. Choosing the right provider and tariff can:
Protect against energy price volatility.
Improve net operating income (NOI).
Strengthen overall investment yields.
Given the scale of commercial consumption, even marginal savings per unit can result in substantial annual cost reductions.
Tenants expect reliable, affordable utility services as part of their occupancy agreements. Poor energy management can lead to:
Increased service charge disputes.
Higher tenant turnover.
Longer vacancy periods.
A transparent and well-managed energy supply arrangement adds real value to tenant relationships.
Commercial landlords must comply with regulations such as:
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR).
Selecting suppliers that support environmental reporting and provide green energy solutions ensures continued regulatory compliance and enhanced EPC ratings.
Commercial energy contracts often span several years. Look for suppliers offering:
Tailored contract durations.
Break clauses or flexible renewal terms.
Multi-site arrangements for portfolio owners.
Sustainability is now a key investment driver. Prioritising suppliers offering renewable electricity and carbon-neutral gas can:
Enhance property marketability.
Support ESG targets.
Future-proof investments against evolving legislation.
Advanced metering and consumption tracking platforms allow landlords to:
Identify and rectify inefficiencies.
Simplify service charge allocations.
Demonstrate commitment to transparency and operational excellence.
