Optivo is buying energy for the years ahead!
Optivo is buying energy for the years ahead!
11 February 2019
Each year we buy £5 million worth of energy for our residents. This provides lighting and heating in hallways and lounges, and supports essential services.
By buying energy for the years ahead we aim to save residents money.
If you pay a service charge the cost of energy for the common areas will be included, so we’re committed to getting you the best value deals.
With energy becoming more expensive, it’s harder to keep costs low. That's why we’ve launched a new approach to save as much as we can by:
Buying energy up to three years in advance
Forcing suppliers to bid against each other for our contracts
Optivo will work with your energy supplier to reduce the costs you pay. We’ll do this by:
Installing efficient lighting that uses less energy
Monitor usage to reduce energy waste.
