What is tenant energy recharging?

It is how a landlord passes the cost of energy on to the tenants who used it. Each tenant pays for what their own sub-meters recorded, plus a fair share of the energy used in shared spaces such as lobbies, lifts and plant.

How is communal energy shared out?

By net internal area. Each tenant's share of the energy used in communal and unmetered areas follows their share of the floor space, adjusted for how much each area uses the communal services.

What happens with empty floors?

Void areas are shown as Landlord (Void), so the cost of vacant space is recorded against the landlord and never hidden inside other tenants' charges.

Can tenants see how their charge was worked out?

Yes. Each invoice line shows direct and communal consumption, the supplier's rate alongside your tenant rate, any admin fee and VAT. Service-charge caps are applied, with any shortfall recorded.

Every tenant charged for what they use

One building, one supply

The landlord's main meter records everything the building uses, but not who used it.

A sub-meter on every tenancy

Each tenant's floors are sub-metered, so their own consumption is read directly.

Shared energy, split fairly

The lobby, lifts, plant and any empty floors are shared out by floor area, with vacant space kept as the landlord's.

One recharge run

Every tenant's charge comes together in one run you can review, confirm and invoice.

Recharges your tenants can check and pay

Set up each building once, with its tenants, floor areas and which meters serve which space. Etainabl then works out every tenant's charge for each billing period.

Metered or by schedule

Charge from each tenant's own sub-meters plus a fair share of communal energy, or split a known cost by each tenant's floor area.

Every utility in one run

Electricity, gas, water, heating and cooling recharged together, with your tenant rate, admin fee and VAT on every line.

Draft, confirm, invoice

Review each run as a draft, confirm it, then send a clear invoice to each tenant and export the breakdown for your finance team.

Getting started

How it works

We set up each building in Etainabl, link every meter and sub-meter to the space it serves, and run the first recharge with you before it becomes routine.

Map the building

We record each tenant's areas and floor space, and which meters and sub-meters serve which space.

Set the rules

Choose metered or schedule-based charges, your tenant rates, admin fees, service-charge caps and how void space is shown.

Run and invoice

Each period, review the draft run, confirm it and issue each tenant's invoice, with the full breakdown for your finance team.
