BEW Electrical Leads the Charge in Energy Reduction with measurable.energy
A Partnership Powering the Future
As the UK’s first electrical wholesaler to introduce measurable.energy smart socket technology to its customers, BEW Electrical took a forward-looking approach that blends commercial growth with energy reduction. The results are already proving that this innovation isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good for business.
About BEW Electrical
With over four decades of experience and a footprint of more than 20 branches across the UK, BEW Electrical is a trusted independent wholesaler serving thousands of trade and commercial customers. Known for its reliability and customer focus, BEW’s team has a strong track record of embracing new technologies early to help contractors and customers work smarter and more efficiently.
Driving Energy Reduction
Energy reduction and sustainability has long been central to BEW’s growth strategy. The company has continually expanded its energy-reducing product range, helping customers save money as well as make more environmentally responsible choices. By introducing measurable.energy sockets, BEW Electrical strengthens its position as a wholesaler offering practical solutions that reduce waste and emissions at scale.
The measurable.energy system identifies and eliminates energy waste from appliances typically left on unnecessarily, such as office and kitchen appliances. Customers have seen energy use cut by 30-50%, translating to significant carbon savings and lower bills.
Real Results: The Diocese of Chelmsford Schools Project
BEW Electrical's first measurable.energy order came through a project with the Diocese of Chelmsford, which manages more than 160 Church of England schools across Essex and East London.
Working with Peter Palmer, Buildings Manager for the Diocese, measurable.energy and BEW Electrical collaborated to install sockets across a group of schools, starting with St Peter’s Primary School in Coggeshall.
Early results showed up to a 50% reduction in energy use on installed circuits, even before the more energy-intensive holiday periods when schools typically waste the most electricity.
That success led to plans to extend the rollout to 35 of the Diocese’s directly managed schools, creating a replicable model for other educational estates across the UK.
“There has been clear strategic alignment between measurable.energy and BEW from day one,” explains Dave Wardell, Chief Commercial Officer at measurable.energy. “We work best with partners who could see the value of this tech for their customers—and BEW absolutely delivered. They’ve helped us prove that wholesalers can save their customers money as well as drive sustainability .”
Innovation that Pays Off
BEW’s decision to champion measurable.energy reflects a commitment to innovation and commercial agility. By adding measurable.energy’s technology to its portfolio, BEW not only broadens its energy reduction offering but also unlocks a new, easily adoptable revenue stream.
For BEW’s sales team, the appeal is clear:
- Easy to install: measurable.energy sockets integrate seamlessly into existing electrical systems.
