Reporting
Energy reporting is invaluable for manufacturers as it facilitates transparent monitoring of energy consumption, identifies efficiency opportunities, and ensures compliance with regulations, enabling informed decision-making.
Solar and Storage
Solar energy paired with storage solutions benefits manufacturers by providing a reliable and sustainable power source, reducing dependence on the grid, mitigating energy costs, and ensuring continuous production even during intermittent sunlight periods.
LED Lighting
In large manufacturing spaces, lighting can significantly contribute to energy consumption, making LEDs a cost-effective and sustainable solution.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
CHP can reduce manufacturers' energy costs and boosts their green-operations credibility by generating both heat and power from a single system, enhancing overall production.
Smart Technology Controls
By implementing IoT technologies, manufacturers can access real-time data and equipment controls, giving insight into usage and enhancing energy efficiency.
Manufacturing currently accounts for 38% of all energy used worldwide.
The manufacturing industry in the UK produced almost 75 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2022.
Industrial emissions have grown 70% since 1990.
The UK has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Energy Regulator - Business Energy Information
The CCL is an environmental tax on energy delivered to non-domestic users in the UK, designed to encourage energy efficiency. While most manufacturers are subject to the CCL, those that qualify under Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) can receive significant reductions. This enables manufacturers to lower their energy bills while demonstrating commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
MinMet is a relief from the Climate Change Levy (CCL) specifically for manufacturers in the mineralogical and metallurgical sectors. Manufacturers engaged in processes like mineral extraction or metal production may qualify, helping to reduce energy costs and maintain competitive pricing.
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) are mandatory for larger manufacturers, requiring energy audits and public reporting of energy use and carbon emissions. ESOS provides insights into potential savings, while SECR mandates transparent reporting, supporting sustainability goals and compliance with regulatory standards.
Manufacturers aiming to lower carbon emissions may benefit from IETF, a funding allowance that supports energy-efficient improvements and carbon reduction initiatives. This financial incentive can be instrumental in offsetting costs for manufacturers investing in sustainable practices, from installing energy-efficient equipment to transitioning to renewable energy.
Though the BIS was restructured, it remains central to policy and grants related to innovation and efficiency in manufacturing. Today, it operates under the Department for Business and Trade, which offers guidance, financial support, and innovation grants tailored to help manufacturers boost efficiency, lower emissions, and invest in cutting-edge technologies.
Manufacturing Industries We Work With
The glass and ceramics industries are on track to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. These energy-intensive sectors rely on high-temperature kilns, which drive significant energy use, but the adoption of electric furnaces and increased recycled content are helping to reduce their footprint. In the UK, glass and ceramics production consumes around 7,000 GWh of energy each year, making the sector a focal point for energy savings and carbon reductions.
Hear It From One Of Our Clients...
BP Consulting delivered outstanding savings for us by tailoring their contract strategy to achieve the desired 36-month term at a reduced rate. They organised an initial 12-month contract followed by a 24-month extension, allowing us to avoid the higher costs of a direct 36-month renewal and saving us more than £20k against the direct renewal offers we had received. Throughout the process, they kept me and the team fully updated, ensuring transparency and confidence at every stage.
During the energy crisis, this substantial saving was met with great satisfaction, highlighting BP’s commitment to cost-effective, client-focused solutions.
