TW's gas consumption is fairly consistent at around 100GWh per annum which is mainly used in the waste water treatment process as well as heating and hot water. TW currently have 66 AMR meters (one daily metered site). We are looking for a proactive supplier to collaborate with to improve gas usage efficiency without penalty as well as optimise prices, whether through hedging or other means. It is important that the uptime of our meters is maximised so response times and technical support are key here as well as proactive intervention when appropriate. Reporting is important to us, preferably real time. As you will be working on our sites, there are detailed health and safety processes and accreditations that we will require you to either already have or be willing to acquire.",
