Energy Procurement & Compliance for UK Logistics and Transport Operators
Across the UK’s logistics and transport sector, from Yorkshire distribution depots to national haulage fleets, energy costs are becoming an invisible drain on profitability. Rising wholesale prices, expanding depot lighting loads, and the electrification of vehicle fleets all push overheads higher. Yet many operators don’t realise how much is lost to poor procurement, complex metering, and outdated energy contracts.
With electricity and gas often representing 10–20 % of fixed operating costs, even small inefficiencies in tariff structure or metering configuration can quietly erode thousands of pounds in margin each year. The challenge isn’t just cost, it’s clarity.
The Problem: Complexity, Confusion, and Cost Risk
Energy management within logistics is notoriously fragmented. Multi-site operations often juggle a mix of legacy supply contracts, variable tariffs, and inconsistent metering data. Add to that new compliance pressures, from SECR reporting to grid connection standards for EV infrastructure, and it’s easy to see why procurement decisions become reactive rather than strategic.
Confusing contract terms leading to hidden standing charges and missed renewal windows.
Duplicate or inaccurate meters creating billing disputes and inconsistent usage data.
ICP (Independent Connection Provider) challenges delaying site connections or upgrades.
Lack of consolidated visibility across depots, yards, and warehouse facilities.
This complexity can make it impossible to forecast costs accurately, negotiate favourable terms, or invest confidently in low-carbon technologies such as LED lighting or EV charging.
