Business energy management involves monitoring consumption via smart or half-hourly meters, identifying waste through energy audits, procuring contracts at the right time in the wholesale cycle, and implementing efficiency measures. The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) requires large UK organisations to carry out mandatory energy audits every 4 years. Smart meters for businesses provide half-hourly data to Elexon's Balancing and Settlement Code framework (DESNZ, Ofgem, Environment Agency, 2026).
