Company says new service offering will integrate strategic, managerial, operational and technical delivery.
FTSE 250 strategic outsourcer, MITIE, has announced that it will be offering clients integrated energy services through its Utilyx subsidiary.
The announcement follows the integration of MITIE's asset management business with Utilyx (one of United Kingdom's largest industrial and commercial energy buyers with a 10.5 per cent share of the industrial and commercial market).
According to MITIE, the new service model will encompass "everything from strategy and management to operation and technical delivery"; with Utilyx providing decentralised energy solutions through on-site energy centres.
Thie new service is being provided through MITIE's former asset management business which is a market leader in decentralised energy and responsible for some of the largest off-grid energy centres in Britain.
The enhanced Utilyx proposition is expected to help clients compete more effectively in a competitive marketplace where prices are rising and energy has emerged as a strategic issue for organisations.
The new business proposition was outlined at Utilyx's annual Energy Seminar, at London's Oxo Tower, which brought together dozens of commercial energy buyers and sustainability managers from a variety of private and public sector organisations.
At the event Vodafone, Sainsbury's and the John Lewis Partnership-Waitrose also discussed how they are tackling their energy challenges and explored innovative ways of buying, using and generating energy.
The Green Investment Bank explained how organisations can find funds to reduce costs through on-site generation and Utilyx also provided the latest intelligence on developments in the decentralised energy market and the effects of rising energy prices.
Ruby McGregor Smith CBE, chief executive of MITIE, said: "Organisations across the UK are facing significant challenges around energy. Utilyx is able to provide our clients with the support they need and the right solutions that cover every aspect of the energy mix."
