SEA Management Services

Energy Management Services

The Surface Engineering Association is pleased to offer a set of services called 'SEA Energy Management Services'. This is offered in partnership with an established partnership of Chartered Energy Efficiency Engineers with strong expertise, knowledge and reputation for energy efficiency within engineering and thermal processes, as well as a strong commitment to excellence and client service.

The SEA recognise after a decade of declining energy costs through the 1990's that the recent sharp escalating costs need a proactive approach. We believe that this energy management service will reduce the exposure of our members to utility cost rises.  The service is focused at three levels:

1 - Energy Consumption

SEA Energy Management Services will enable members to optimise the energy efficiency of their processes and service systems to reduce energy consumption and therefore exposure to utilities market cost rises.  Advice will be available on the wide range of free and subsidised services available, as well as recommending financial support mechanisms such as The Carbon Trust's Enhance Capital Allowances and Energy Efficiency Interest Free Loan Scheme.

2 - Utility Procurement

The SEA Energy Management Services will utilise an electronic energy procurement platform, and the Chartered Energy Efficiency Engineers' tariff and infrastructure knowledge to reduce energy supply costs.  This will ensure members will have access to the most competitive prices and additionally will provide them with regular updates on the energy markets. We are therefore well placed to provide advice on the best procurement opportunities and structures for members.  The energy market is extremely volatile and the timing of energy procurement and market knowledge has become the most important issue for minimising energy costs.

SEA Energy Management Services can also facilitate an ongoing energy monitoring service that assists in delivering and maintaining energy savings and preparing CCL reports.

3 - Legislation & Climate Change Levy

There is increasing European and UK legislation aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions and this is a growing burden on business. The SEA Energy Management Services will enable members to both maximise the opportunities and minimise the risks that this represents. The Chartered Energy Efficiency Engineers can assess relevant legislation and work with members to manage Climate Change Levy agreements.

This SEA Energy Management Service has been developed to offer independent and impartial advice and the services are provided without obligation.  The Chartered Energy Efficiency Engineers will maximise the opportunity to gain Government support, free, or subsidised services to our members.
