What it does

Visibility that turns into savings

Every site, every half hour

Electricity, gas and water for every site under one login, updated roughly every 30 minutes, with up to 6 years of history.

More on half-hourly data

Fixed costs

You pay for capacity you never use

Half-hourly sites pay an availability charge for the supply capacity reserved for them on the local network, measured in kVA. That charge lands every month whether the site draws the capacity or not, and going over the agreed figure triggers excess capacity charges on top.

Insights ranks your highest half-hourly peaks, so the capacity you are agreed for can be held against the capacity you actually pull. Where the agreed figure sits well above the real peak, it is worth asking for it to be reviewed. Nothing about how the site runs has to change.

Peak demand is worked out from consecutive half-hourly readings, so the figure you check your agreed capacity against is measured, not estimated.

What you see when you log in

Screens from a live client account, not a mock-up.

Two days on one axis

Any two days can be drawn over each other. Here one holds above 15 kWh right through the working day and the other falls to almost nothing.

How half-hourly data works

Cost, day by day

Electricity and gas kWh, the energy charge, the standing charge and the daily total, on one line per day.

How bill validation works

Wholesale prices, included

Day-ahead out to Winter 2030 for power and gas, quoted in pence per kWh, with the UK carbon price underneath.

See the public market data

Market news, included

Power, gas and LNG headlines in the same dashboard, filterable by fuel, each one attributed to its source.

Temperature beside consumption

Maximum, average and minimum degrees Celsius across metered locations, over the same 30 days as the usage chart.

Getting started

Live in 7 to 14 working days

  1. Sign your supply contract

    Insights is bundled with it. Nothing separate to sign.

  2. Send us your portfolio

    A meter list, or just your latest bills.

  3. Sign the access letters

    Pre-filled, signed electronically. No printing.

  4. Your dashboard goes live

    Alerts reach whoever you choose, from day one.

Nothing needs to be installed for most electricity and gas meters.

What it costs

Included. Not an add-on.

No per-meter fee, no kit rental, no minimum portfolio size. Standalone monitoring platforms typically charge £15 to £80 per meter per month.

Purely Energy earns a disclosed margin on the supply contract, between 0.3p and 1.0p per kWh, shown line by line on every quote.

How Purely Energy gets paid

Questions, answered

  • How is Purely Insights actually free?

    You already pay a small, disclosed fee as part of your energy rate, whether or not you ever open the dashboard, and that fee is exactly the same either way. So there is nothing extra to buy: no charge per meter, no hidden mark-up, and no minimum size of business.

  • What do I have to do, and how long until I see a dashboard?

    You will have a working dashboard within 7 to 14 working days of signing. Nothing needs to be installed for most sites, we simply pull the readings your existing meters already produce. On your side, there are four quick steps: sign the contract, send us a list of your sites (or just your latest bills), sign a couple of authority forms so we can access the data, and tell us who should get alerts. We take care of everything else.

  • If Insights catches a billing mistake, who sorts it out?

    We do. Our own team contacts the supplier, gets the mistake corrected, and chases it until it is actually credited to your account. You do not need to do anything. Every correction, and the date it happened, shows up in your monthly summary.

  • What does my accounts team actually receive each month?

    Two things: the usual bill from your supplier, exactly as before, and a free summary from us showing every site, anything unusual, and any money that has been credited back to you. There is never a separate bill for Insights itself, because there is nothing to charge you for.

  • If we ever leave Purely, do we keep our data?

    Yes, all of it. You can export everything at any time, and it stays available to download for 12 months after your account closes. We never hold your data back as leverage.

  • If you fit extra sensors, do we have to buy them?

    No. If you want detail on a specific piece of equipment, we supply and fit the sensor for you at no cost, and we own it. You get to keep all the data it produces, but there is nothing on your books to account for, and if you ever leave, we simply come and collect the sensor.

  • What happens if the dashboard goes down?

    It is designed to be available 99.5 percent of the time, every month. If we ever miss that, you automatically get money back. Real people answer the phone or email 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours, a serious alert goes straight to whoever you have nominated at the site.

  • Is Purely Energy a solid company to rely on?

    Yes. We are a UK B-Corp certified company, registered at Companies House (company number 13393163), with our accounts on public record if you want to check. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus, and our information security certification is in progress.

  • Is this too much for a small business, or only for big portfolios?

    It works exactly the same either way. A single-site business gets the same dashboard, the same bill checking, and the same renewal reminders as a business with 200 meters. Larger portfolios can add extra support if they want it, but that is optional, not a requirement to use the platform.

  • Can I see all my sites in one place, even if they have different suppliers?

    Yes. Everything sits in one dashboard regardless of who supplies which site, so you get one view of your whole business rather than logging into a different portal for each supplier.

  • Does this help with sustainability reporting?

    Yes. Many businesses now have to report their energy use and carbon footprint each year. Because Insights already tracks that data in detail, it becomes far easier to put together the reports you need, and our own team can produce the final report for you.

  • What if one of my sites has an older meter?

    That is covered too. We pull whatever readings are available, whether that is daily or monthly, so you still get useful comparisons and alerts. We will also let you know if switching to a modern meter (often free) would unlock better data.

  • Is my data secure?

    Yes. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus, our information security certification is in progress, and your data is kept in the UK. Access is controlled by permissions you set, with a record kept of who has looked at what. You own the data at all times, and you can export it whenever you like, at no cost.

  • Can I connect Insights to our own systems?

    Yes, on request. We can send your data straight into your own finance, reporting or building-management software, or you can simply export it as a spreadsheet or PDF whenever you need to.

  • Do you stay involved after the contract is signed?

    Yes. Full contract support is included for every customer for the life of the agreement. That covers bill validation, query handling, supplier escalations, change-of-tenancy events, and renewal-timing recommendations. We are not a one-and-done broker.

Anything else, call 0161 521 3400 and a real person will answer, 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
