Capacity Review
Larger consumers will be familiar with capacity charges on their bills, unfortunately not everyone understands the nature of this charge, and it is common for consumers to be paying for more capacity than is needed. If your maximum demand falls below your Agreed Supply Capacity (ASC), you are paying for more capacity than you need. At Direct Power we work with all our larger clients to review their ASC, ensuring it is set at an appropriate level. Over the years, this exercise has saved some of our clients thousands of pounds. The aim is simple, pay for what you need and no more. This exercise is very important if you have recently moved location or improved the efficiency of your operations. You want to ensure your ASC reflects current and anticipated usage, not historical usage.
If you have questions about your capacity please get in touch, we will be happy to review your needs and investigate the potential for savings.
