Utility purchasing, metering and billing

Electricity, gas and water purchasing is managed centrally by the Energy team within Estates Environmental Sustainability

This ensures that we are able to monitor and purchase energy at the best price for all of our users. The contracted suppliers generate bills using automatic (AMR) meters where possible or manual readings, where AMR meters are not present.

Where large supplies cover multiple buildings and departments, ‘split’ bills are generated using both main and sub meters. In some cases where there is limited sub metering, costs may be divided by the percentage of floor area.
