For businesses operating across several locations, managing monthly energy invoices can be time-consuming and complex. With multiple sites, energy suppliers, varying billing cycles and separate statements, finance teams often spend a long time validating and processing invoices.
Group Billing can solve this challenge by consolidating single site energy invoice into a group structured consolidated invoice, making it easier to validate, manage and pay.
Group billing is not offered by all energy suppliers, it needs to be negotiated often increasing energy price premium. However, efficiency savings can more than offset a small premium. It is designed for organisations with 20+ meters, where group billing provides simplicity and better oversight of energy expenditure across the entire portfolio with the possibility of importing data via EDI billing files into SAP or SAGE payment ledger systems.
Group billing brings all site energy charges together into one clear invoice, with:
Instead of processing multiple invoices each month, finance teams receive a single statement — making bill processing faster and more efficient.
Suppliers and CES can also provide a dedicated account manager to manage group billing and efficiently handle all queries.
Group billing supports organisations with large estates by helping them:
Rather than navigating dozens of supplier invoices, finance teams gain one clear view of all charges — backed by dedicated support from CES.
If your organisation operates 20 or more sites, group billing can significantly simplify your internal processes and enhance financial control.
Our team reviews each portfolio to ensure the most appropriate billing structure is put in place, tailored to your business needs. We handle the administration and coordination, ensuring billing is accurate, consistent and transparent.
