Energy Intelligence Centre

What Energy Intelligence Centre does

Energy Intelligence Centre (EIC), trading as EIC Partnership, is an independent UK-based energy and carbon management consultancy founded in 1975 and headquartered in Wallington, with additional offices in Redditch, London, and Birmingham. The firm is owned by Majestic Securities Limited and operates through three legal entities — Energy Intelligence Centre Limited, ESS (Utility Consultants) Limited, and The Monarch Partnership Limited — supported by an affiliated ecosystem (t-mac Technologies, Welcome Energy, SafeSwitch Utilities, National Utility Hub). EIC advises more than 800 UK organisations across nine verticals (banking, healthcare, manufacturing, education, housing, hospitality, property management, multi-site landlords, and public sector), managing 6.7TWh of utilities across approximately 58,000 meters and processing 3.5 million invoices per year.

The company's core digital asset is the Energy Intelligence Portal, a multi-brand client platform providing real-time energy usage, spend tracking, and account management. Around this portal, EIC delivers a broad service portfolio organised into five pillars: Energy Procurement (fixed, flexible, portfolio, public sector, Section 20), Energy Management (account management, budgeting, invoice validation, energy efficiency, MHHS migration, void management), Green Energy (CHP, EV chargers, solar, PPAs, export contracts), Carbon Solutions (compliance frameworks ESOS, SECR, UK ETS, CSRD, SBTi, TCFD, CBAM, ISO 14001/50001, TM44/EPBD, DEC, EPC, CCA, plus carbon management and offsetting), and Water Management. It also operates a Dynamic Purchasing System framework for public sector clients.

EIC's revenue model is primarily commission-based, earning fees from energy suppliers when clients enter supply agreements, supplemented by professional services fees for energy management, carbon advisory, and water procurement. The company does not charge clients directly for core procurement services. Go-to-market is sales-led, with dedicated account managers, a direct sales team, content marketing (77+ articles, webinars, LinkedIn/YouTube), and self-service portals. With 51–100 stated employees (or 200+ per company FAQ), the firm functions as a mid-sized, long-tenured independent broker and consultancy with established scale in the UK non-domestic energy market.

The company also provides a Dynamic Purchasing System framework for public sector clients and a Long-Term Forecast Report for forward budget planning.
