UK small and medium-sized enterprises now have unprecedented access to energy procurement solutions once reserved for big business, thanks to the launch of Utili-Tay. Headquartered in Dundee, the consultancy is transforming the energy landscape by integrating expert brokerage with state-of-the-art technology to help businesses lower costs, improve operational efficiency, and progress towards greener energy solutions.
Historically, SMEs were excluded from flexible and basket purchasing contracts, which are specifically designed to reduce risk and optimise group purchasing power. Utili-Tay is changing that by collaborating with top energy partners to make these opportunities widely available, helping smaller businesses navigate volatile markets with greater confidence and financial control.
“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.
