The launch of Utili-Tay is giving UK small and medium-sized enterprises access to sophisticated energy procurement strategies that were once the preserve of large organisations. Operating from Dundee, the consultancy brings together specialist brokerage expertise and advanced digital tools to deliver cost-effective solutions, enhanced energy management, and sustainability-focused strategies for SMEs nationwide.
Previously, SMEs were often excluded from flexible and basket purchasing arrangements, which help reduce exposure to volatile energy markets and unlock the benefits of shared buying power. Utili-Tay is changing this dynamic by working closely with leading energy partners to open up these opportunities, ensuring businesses of all sizes can manage their energy spend strategically and competitively.
“From the outset, our mission was simple: to empower businesses to see energy not as a line item, but as a strategic resource,” said Craig Elder, Co-Founder of Utili-Tay. “Larger corporations have long benefited from advanced procurement tools, but SMEs were left behind. We wanted to change that by giving every business, no matter its size, access to cost-saving advantages and the insights needed to make smarter, greener decisions.”
Unlike traditional brokers, Utili-Tay positions itself as a long-term strategic partner rather than a transactional service provider. Each client receives a tailored energy strategy, supported by regular audits and quarterly reviews, ensuring solutions evolve alongside changing market conditions and business goals.
Beyond procurement, Utili-Tay delivers live, real-time data on energy usage, temperature, and occupancy to help businesses identify inefficiencies and eliminate waste. The company’s technology-led approach includes smart metering, voltage optimisation, and power factor correction, ensuring every client can make informed decisions and accelerate their journey towards Net Zero.
“Our approach is all about partnership,” added Elder. “We don’t just sign contracts, we work closely with our clients to future-proof their businesses, protect against market volatility, and achieve sustainability targets. The end result is a stronger, more resilient Scottish business community.”
Founded in Dundee, Utili-Tay has become a trusted partner for businesses across Scotland, delivering a personalised, tech-driven service that helps SMEs remain competitive in challenging economic conditions.
