TUNLEY ENVIRONMENTAL X ENVANTAGE
UK businesses are facing rising energy costs, increasing carbon pressures and growing regulatory complexity. In response, Tunley Environmental has partnered with Envantage to deliver a fully integrated energy and carbon optimisation solution, combining strategic procurement, green tax expertise and sustainability leadership.
Together, we help organisations reduce energy costs, unlock compensation and exemption schemes, strengthen compliance and reinvest savings into long-term sustainability goals.
WHY THIS PARTNERSHIP EXISTS
Energy bills are more complicated than ever. Beyond wholesale energy process, businesses face a growing layer of non-commodity charges, including renewable levies, network charges, capacity market costs and carbon-related taxes.
Many organisations focus solely on securing a competitive unit rate. However, significant savings are often hidden within compensation and exemption schemes that are overlooked, misunderstood or assumed to be out of reach.
Envantage has secured, managed and protected over £23 million in compensation and exemptions in the last year alone.
Energy-intensive manufacturers operating in sectors such as metals, chemicals, glass, ceramics, food processing, plastics, rubber, paper, packaging, paper, engineering, electronics, mining, quarrying, construction materials, textiles, leather, and other qualifying industries.
Organisations with high electricity consumption seeking to reduce non-commodity charges such as renewable levies, network costs and capacity market charges.
Businesses that have previously been told they are not eligible for exemptions or compensation schemes but have not had a recent eligibility review.
Companies managing Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) or preparing for future application windows.
Organisations exposed to wholesale market volatility and looking for more strategic, flexible energy procurement solutions.
Businesses seeking to align energy cost reduction with carbon management, regulatory compliance and long-term sustainability strategy.
