Thames Energy Ltd.

Background to the organisation

Thames Energy Ltd (Formerly Waltham Forest Energy Services) was set up in 1988 to promote the efficient production and use of energy. An integrated consultancy and contracting firm, it offers wide ranging engineering design and project management services for public and private sector organisations.  A particular feature of the company’s operations is the partnering arrangements that it has developed with a number of Government and public authorities, banks and other funding support agencies. The company's principal objective is to develop its activities in the international power production sector by providing an integration of design philosophies, which incorporate the use of renewable energy and other energy efficiency technologies in its design criteria. This includes the consideration of least cost strategies for fuel procurement, technical design expertise and energy management contracting.

The company ensures that the energy infrastructure, primary resources, labour, and materials consumed in power sector projects are kept to a minimum, whilst still maintaining a sustainable supply of electricity and heat. In this way useful energy will be available at the lowest possible cost to its clients. The ethos of the company's operation is 'affordable energy' for all. The company has developed a reputation for producing innovative solutions to the problems encountered by national and Local Authorities in the area of engineering services and energy management. It derives much of this approach from its key staff who have served in various countries and industry sectors around the world. Thames Energy Ltd employs qualified professionals who have a lot of experience in project management, training and delivering of energy management services. There is also considerable experience within Thames Energy Ltd of developing and managing national and international funded programmes.

Engineering services design continues to lead the company's activities as it allows and encourages the innovative use of technology and ideas. The design of new installations and project management requires high calibre staff with wide ranging experience. The company therefore employs highly qualified and experienced staff with the design capability for all types of mechanical, electrical power plant systems.  The company uses up to date computer systems, including AutoCAD and HevaCAD as efficient design aids.

Contract Energy Management is the generic term for various contract arrangements for the purchase of primary fuels, energy saving equipment and associated services, which are financed in such a way that the client pays for the improvements over a period of years out of the resulting savings in energy costs. Energy management and tariff analyses are the link between the more theoretical and practical engineering aspect of energy efficiency works. In essence, the company provides a vertically integrated service from the initial feasibility studies through to the installation, project management and operations. The plant installation, operations and maintenance management refer to the longer term involvement in the project.  It also gives the company an overall capability to provide a more comprehensive service that other engineering consultancies cannot provide ensuring the company remains associated with the success of its designed schemes.
