Their expertise in auditing and managing utility contracts not only saved us a significant amount of money but also allowed us to reinvest those savings directly into patient care. Thanks to TCD Energy, we were able to employ an additional full-time nurse, which has made a real difference in the level of care we can provide to our patients.

Reducing Energy Costs to Support NHS Services
Primary Care Knowsley is a federation consisting of five practices that operate across 11 locations in Knowsley. Together, these practices provide essential primary care services to over 52,000 patients, representing approximately one-third of the local population. The federation is committed to delivering high-quality healthcare and continually seeks opportunities to improve services for their patients.
Managing multiple sites comes with significant operational costs, including substantial energy expenses
Managing multiple sites comes with significant operational costs, including substantial energy expenses for electricity, gas, and water across all 11 locations.
Primary Care Knowsley recognised the potential for cost savings in their utility bills but lacked the internal resources and expertise to identify and implement these savings. They needed a partner who could not only find ways to reduce costs but also ensure that any savings would directly benefit patient care
TCD Energy performed a detailed review of the electricity, gas, and water supply contracts across all locations.
Primary Care Knowsley engaged TCD Energy to conduct a complimentary audit of their energy bills across all 11 sites. The goal was to uncover opportunities for cost reduction without compromising the quality of services provided.
TCD Energy performed a detailed review of the electricity, gas, and water supply contracts across all locations. This audit involved analysing historical bills, assessing current tariffs, and comparing them against market rates to identify discrepancies or overpayments.
After identifying several opportunities for cost savings, TCD Energy negotiated new supply contracts on behalf of Primary Care Knowsley. These contracts offered more favorable rates, which aligned with the federation's financial and operational goals.
TCD Energy facilitated the transition to the new contracts, ensuring a smooth changeover with no disruption to services. They also provided ongoing support to monitor the utility bills, ensuring that the savings were realised and maintained over time.
The results of the audit and subsequent actions were significant...
TCD Energy's audit and contract renegotiation efforts led to considerable savings across the federation’s utility expenses, totalling 25%. These savings directly contributed to reducing the overall operational costs for Primary Care Knowsley and were reinvested into the federation’s services, enabling Primary Care Knowsley to employ an additional full-time nurse.
This new position has expanded the capacity to treat more patients, enhancing the quality of care provided across the 11 locations.
