3. 1. Introductions
Who am I to talk about Energy Management?

4. Dave Horton. CITP MAPM MCMI
• 19 ½ Years in the Energy Industry (MEB, npower
and RWE)
• 12 years working on Energy IT Systems, Processes
and Solutions
• 6 years working as Head of Property, Sustainability
& Capital Investments
• 1 year within npower Business Solutions, New
Products & Innovation

5. 2. Myth Busters
Some of the comments I hear often

6. Myth Busters.
• npower doesn’t pay for its energy
– WRONG. We have a legal obligation to create invoices for CCL, VAT, Non-
Commodity etc.
– npower’s annual energy bill exceeds £5 million, over 97% of which leaves our bank
accounts
• npower wants to sell me more energy, not help me save energy
– WRONG. Again we have legal obligations to some customers to help them reduce
their energy bill
– All customers want to reduce their energy bill so if we don’t help you then another
supplier will
– We can make margins on saving you money as well as by selling you energy
• npower doesn’t really want to educate its customers on energy management
– WRONG. By training you and working with you we can earn your trust and loyalty
– Working together in partnership to gain a much more in-depth knowledge of your
business energy profile to help reduce your usage
