Switching to renewable energy with Ocean Estate Agents

Case study: Ocean Estate Agents

Ocean Estate Agents is a recognised and award-winning name in Bristol’s property sector, with over 40 years of experience in residential sales, lettings, and property services. With a strong commitment to reducing their environmental footprint, Ocean partnered with Unyfi to support their transition to more sustainable energy procurement across their entire business.

The challenge

Ocean Estate Agents set out to align their operational practices with ambitious environmental objectives:

• Their previous energy procurement strategy didn’t align with their sustainability goals.
• A strategic approach across their multiple sites was needed to deliver progress towards sustainability objectives.
• The business was exposed to volatile energy market shifts, creating uncertainty around energy pricing.
  
  

Our solution

To better understand its environmental impact, Ocean conducted a comprehensive carbon audit:

• We aligned the energy procurement strategy with the business’ audit and sustainability goals.
• We aligned the entire estate to renewable energy – 100% renewable electricity and biomethane green gas.
• Secured a fixed-term energy contract, locking in pricing and avoiding exposure to market volatility.

The results

• A fully aligned and more sustainable energy procurement strategy across all Ocean sites.
• Switched to 100% renewable electricity throughout the business and introduced biomethane green gas, generated from organic matter such as food waste.
• Cost stability through fixed-term energy contracts.

The next steps

We will continue our partnership with Ocean Estate Agents and align their energy procurement strategy based on the company’s objectives. We will ensure Ocean can focus on what they do best – delivering exceptional property services, while our team manages the energy contract behind the scenes.
