The Best.Energy Global Brand Grows, As Energy Cost Savers Becomes Best.Energy South Africa
We’re thrilled to announce that Johannesburg-based Energy Cost Savers has acquired a Master License to operate as Best.Energy South Africa, joining our regional hubs in USA, Kenya, UAE, Scandinavia, and South East Europe.
Founded in 2021 by Charles Davidson and John Considine, Energy Cost Savers was established as an energy efficiency solutions service provider, delivering a comprehensive metering and monitoring solution for clients. They have now been an integral member of the Best.Energy Global Partner community for 5 years, leading energy efficiency projects across the region and delivering outstanding results across the manufacturing, education, retail and distribution sectors.
As the winner of our esteemed Partner of the Year award in 2024, the team has worked tirelessly to implement cost-effective energy-saving solutions tailored to their clients’ unique needs. Their mission is to forge a built environment that is more energy efficient, more intelligent, and more sustainable in South Africa, by harnessing the power of IoT, big data and AI.
South Africa’s Energy Market
South Africa has always been a dynamic market, but their landscape is at a turning point. Businesses are actively seeking the clarity, savings, and carbon reductions that the Best.Energy Eniscope ecosystem can provide.
As a Master Licensee, the team now has the infrastructure to match that demand, and together, we will support South African businesses to build resilience, cut costs, and lead the way in sustainability. The launch of Best.Energy South Africa represents our commitment to the region, empowering a network of Partners to change the world, one building at a time.
Charles Davidson, CEO of Best.Energy South Africa, commented:
“The launch of Best.Energy South Africa reflects both our growth and our commitment to helping businesses navigate an increasingly complex energy landscape. We’re focused on delivering practical solutions that improve efficiency, reduce costs and support long-term sustainability in our region.”
What This Means For Best.Energy Partners In South Africa
Becoming a Master Licensee further aligns Energy Cost Savers with the Best.Energy parent brand, enhancing credibility, endorsement and support. As a pioneer in energy efficiency in South Africa, the team is now positioned to provide more locally-tuned support to other Partners in the territory.
With Best.Energy South Africa now operational, Partners in the region will benefit from:
- Local expertise and support – with faster response times and a team that understands the specific nuances of the South African grid and business climate.
- Strengthened credibility – Being part of a localised, high-profile brand presence makes your pitch even more persuasive.
- Accelerated growth – We’re here to help you scale faster, close bigger deals, and dominate the market.
- A regional support network – They can expect local events, specialised training sessions, and marketing assets tailored specifically for the South African market.
Best.Energy Channel Sales Director, Ben Willcocks, explained:
“This is a massive milestone for our global network and a game-changer for our Partners in South Africa. By establishing a dedicated regional hub, we’re bringing the full weight of Best.Energy’s technology, expertise, and vision, directly to the region.”
A New Era For Energy Efficiency In South Africa
Charles and John have great ambitions for the future of Best.Energy South Africa. Their focus is on continuous improvement by investing in technologies and solutions to further enhance their offering and performance as they roll out energy-efficiency projects to clients in key sectors like manufacturing and hospitality.
They aim to maintain their current standing as the top-performing Best.Energy Partner worldwide, but also strive to be recognised as the number one energy-efficiency service provider in South Africa.
