The Clever Energy Program
Gabriel is passionate about helping businesses become commercially clever around energy. With extensive experience of working with rural businesses to identify, evaluate, and implement energy efficient and sustainable energy technologies he has developed The Clever Energy Program™.
Having gained many valuable insights from previous projects, The Clever Energy Program™ is the solution for those who want to make the transition to a more sustainable business model. Whether it’s a short or long term stint Gabriel will work with you and your organisation to bring about change that benefits the bottom line, the environment and social licence.
With The Clever Energy Program™, it starts with you.
It all starts with getting comfortable around energy, then you can become commercially smart towards your energy use to gain more control of your business, reduce your stress levels and increase your productivity.
Clever Energy for farms
For almost every farm there are savings opportunities. Often, it’s hard to know where to start and which actions will have the best impact for effort.
For those farms that are ready to take the next step, The Clever Energy Program™ might be the right path. This program has been designed to focus specifically on the issues faced by small business owners.
It is designed for those that want to act on energy costs. If you want to take action to reduce energy costs, make sound investment decisions, and reduce energy-related carbon emissions then this program is for you.
The approach
Initially, Gabriel will take the time to understand your goals and objectives so he can ensure he tailors a program to your specific needs. Following a series of diagnostics to identify the current energy usage he creates a baseline profile and then builds out a recommended approach based on what will work best for you with a range of opportunities and solutions to help get you energy clever.
Using a 3-step model for diagnostics, he will first identify where you can use less energy, and therefore reduce waste in both energy and cost to your business. Next, he looks at how he can help you to increase energy efficiency, so you can achieve the same or better outcomes with less input. Once demand and waste have been reduced, and efficiencies improved, it's about securing the cheapest source of renewable energy.
The Clever Energy Program™ will continue to monitor and fine tune the opportunities. As your energy partner, Gabriel stays with you throughout the process and regularly re-assesses performance to ensure the results of actions taken are being optimised. The program can also assist with funding applications for grants around energy efficiency and investment.
