Mastering Multi-Tenant & Multi-Site Energy Management with Unify Energy
Managing energy across multiple commercial properties is tough. When your business involves multi-tenanted buildings, office complexes, or a portfolio of sites, energy management isn’t just about paying bills - it’s about precision, transparency, and efficiency. And if you’re still juggling fragmented contracts, broker fees, and patchy meter data, you’re wasting time and money.
At Unify Energy, we’re built to fix exactly that. We’re the UK’s only Ofgem-regulated energy supplier focused on supplying, managing, and billing multi-tenanted commercial buildings directly. This means no hidden fees, no broker drama, and total control over your energy portfolio.
Why multi-site, multi-tenant energy management is complicated (and why most suppliers get it wrong)
Let’s be honest — business energy for multi-tenant buildings is a beast.
Complex billing: You need to split energy costs fairly across tenants who consume wildly different amounts. Charge one tenant for 20kWh and another for 200kWh, and everyone wants proof it’s right.
Visibility: Visibility: Tenants expect full transparency: no hidden mark-ups, no unclear fees. If they can’t verify the charges, disputes follow. As an energy supplier, we provide a clear, itemised bill that backs up every cost, reducing confusion and preventing unnecessary conflict.
Compliance pressure: Although Unify Energy isn’t a compliance reporting service, landlords and building managers face strict regulations around energy efficiency and reporting. Having clean, accurate energy data is essential.
Metering challenges: Not all meters are created equal. Some sites have smart meters, some have older tech, and some use sub-meters for specific equipment or floors. Pulling all that data together into one place is a nightmare for most suppliers.
Broker fees & fragmented contracts: Most businesses rely on brokers to get “the best deals.” But brokers often add fees and commissions, which inflate your costs — sometimes without you even realising.
The sad truth is that many suppliers treat multi-tenant energy as a ‘nice-to-have’ add-on, passing the complexity onto you. Meanwhile, you’re left juggling multiple contracts, invoices, and data silos, wasting time and money.
How Unify Energy flips the script
Unify Energy isn’t your average supplier. We specialise in multi-tenanted commercial properties, owning the entire supply and billing process end-to-end.
Here’s how we make multi-site, multi-tenant energy management straightforward:
1. One supplier, one contract, total clarity
Forget dozens of fragmented contracts for each site or tenant. With UE, you get a single consolidated contract that covers all your properties and supply points. That means one renewal date, one supplier relationship to manage, and no more surprises on your bills.
2. Transparent, tenant-level billing — no guesswork
We provide clear, itemised invoices that break down energy consumption by tenant, floor, or unit - however you need it. Our billing system shows exactly what each tenant owes, based on actual usage, with zero hidden fees or mark-ups.
No more “black box” bills that tenants question - just clean, audited data everyone can trust.
3. Integrated energy management platform
Our cloud-based platform aggregates energy data from all your meters, across all your sites, into one dashboard. That means:
Consumption visibility
Automated alerts on spikes or unusual usage
Benchmarking across tenants and sites
Data export for reporting and audits
This level of visibility simplifies operational decisions and ensures you stay ahead of regulatory requirements.
4. Expert support for meter upgrades & compliance
We guide you through upgrading to smart meters or half-hourly meters if needed — critical as regulations tighten (hello, Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement reform). Having accurate, automated meter reads means better billing accuracy and compliance with Ofgem rules.
Why property teams are turning to Unify Energy for smarter supply
Brokers have long played a role in navigating energy deals, and we continue to work with some great ones. But at Unify Energy, transparency is a core value, and we believe every customer deserves to know exactly what they’re paying for and why.
That’s why more property managers are choosing to work directly with us:
No hidden commissions or inflated rates
Clear, tenant-level billing tailored for multi-tenanted sites
Direct access to a regulated supplier who understands your buildings, not just your meter readings
We’re not here to knock brokers; we’re here to raise the bar. Whether you come to us via a broker or direct, we’ll make sure the value is visible, the billing is fair, and the setup works for your portfolio.
If transparency matters to you, we’re ready when you are.
The commercial edge: bulk purchasing power without complexity
One huge advantage of consolidating your portfolio under a single supplier contract is bulk purchasing power. With more volume, UE can negotiate better wholesale rates on your behalf, and we pass those savings directly to you.
Plus, a single contract end date lets you plan renewals strategically — no more overlapping contracts or expensive exit fees from misaligned terms.
