Metal fabrication businesses can have significant electricity and gas requirements across welding, cutting, machining, compressed air, extraction, heating and other production processes. Energy costs can therefore have a direct impact on production costs and margins.
Flame Energy can help metal fabricators manage commercial electricity and gas procurement, contracts, meters and consumption, with ongoing support throughout the contract period and a coordinated approach for businesses operating across multiple sites.
The UK metals industry is energy intensive, typically using both electricity and gas across production processes. As businesses look to manage costs and reduce emissions, renewable electricity, onsite generation and improved visibility of consumption can form part of a wider energy strategy.
Flame Energy can support this through renewable electricity procurement, energy monitoring and commercial solar where the site, roof space and electricity demand are suitable.
Energy market movements can have a significant impact on metal fabrication businesses because electricity and gas are integral to many production processes. We can review your consumption profile and commercial requirements, compare suitable products from suppliers on our panel and help develop a procurement approach aligned with your preferred level of budget certainty.
For businesses operating across multiple fabrication or engineering facilities, we can also coordinate suppliers, meters and contract end dates across the portfolio and help plan renewals in advance.
Flame Energy provides ongoing support beyond procurement. We can help coordinate suppliers, contracts, meters and energy queries across a single fabrication facility or a multisite business, providing one central point of contact throughout the contract period. Where suitable consumption data is available, we can also help improve visibility of energy use and identify unusual changes that may warrant further investigation.

We can review your electricity and gas contracts and consumption, compare suitable procurement options from suppliers on our panel and provide ongoing support throughout the contract period. The procurement approach can reflect your operational requirements and preferred level of budget certainty.
Fabrication can involve electricity and gas across welding, cutting, machining, compressed air, extraction, heating and other production processes. The exact energy profile will vary by operation, but energy prices can have a direct impact on production costs.
Yes. We can coordinate contracts, suppliers, meters and renewal dates across multiple facilities, providing one central point of contact for your energy portfolio.
Potentially, yes. Industrial buildings can offer substantial roof space and fabrication businesses may have meaningful daytime electricity demand. We can help assess whether onsite solar generation could complement your existing grid electricity supply.
Yes. Where suitable consumption data is available, we can help improve visibility of energy use and identify unusual changes or patterns that may warrant further investigation.
