The challenge

Hawkstone, launched in 2021 by Jeremy Clarkson and the Cotswold Brew Co, produces a range of premium craft beer and lager. The Cotswold Brewing Company has been a Fidelity Energy customer since 2017.

It wanted to move back to green energy and get more support managing its billing.

What we did

A detailed market review showed that securing rates for 36 months offered better value and budget certainty than the 12 month contract the business first wanted. We sourced a renewable electricity tariff on that basis.

We added bill validation, which checks that the billed electricity matches the consumption from a monthly meter reading.

The result

The renewable tariff costs 31.7% less than the previous contract, saving over £19k a year even though it is 100% renewable.

Bill validation makes sure the business pays the correct rates for what it uses, and any discrepancies are found and resolved quickly.

They secured a competitively priced renewable tariff that cut our energy costs, while still supporting our sustainability goals. The bill validation service is a real bonus. It gives us the confidence that everything is accurate and the team resolve any issues professionally and efficiently.
