Measurabl has launched a new integration with Perse, enabling automated electricity and gas data collection across the UK. Through Perse energy data integration, monthly utility data can flow directly into Measurabl for approximately 95% of UK commercial and multifamily buildings, regardless of utility provider or meter operator. Automated UK utility data is becoming essential for electricity and gas reporting across commercial and multifamily portfolios.
For organisations managing UK assets, this directly addresses one of the most persistent structural challenges in sustainability reporting: fragmented access to utility data.

What Is Perse Energy Data?
Perse provides automated access to electricity and gas consumption data across the UK energy market. Its infrastructure connects directly to utility suppliers and meter operators, allowing monthly data retrieval without manual outreach.
For sustainability teams, this means electricity and gas data can be collected consistently across portfolios, regardless of supplier complexity.
Why Automating UK Electricity and Gas Data Is Challenging
Unlike more centralised energy markets, UK portfolios are frequently served by multiple suppliers and meter operators. Buildings may have landlord-controlled meters, tenant-controlled meters, or a combination of both. Data access processes vary widely, and consumption information is rarely delivered in a uniform format.
The operational impact is familiar to sustainability and asset management teams:
-
- Utility data arrives late or inconsistently
-
- Coverage varies building to building
-
- Reporting timelines compress unnecessarily
-
- Skilled teams spend time chasing data rather than analysing it
These inefficiencies are manageable at small scale. They become materially limiting as portfolios grow or as reporting expectations tighten. For many UK real estate portfolios, automating electricity and gas data collection is the most direct way to improve ESG reporting accuracy.
The issue is not a lack of reporting frameworks. It is the infrastructure required to feed them reliably.
Moving from Manual UK Utility Data Collection to Automation
This integration shifts UK utility data collection from an administrative exercise to a structured data pipeline.
With the Perse integration, automated electricity and gas data is ingested directly into Measurabl, where it can be validated, structured and applied to ESG reporting workflows. That consistency has downstream implications:
-
- Greater confidence in portfolio-wide energy coverage
-
- More reliable emissions calculations
-
- Cleaner year-on-year comparability
-
- Reduced dependence on ad hoc uploads and manual consolidation
In practical terms, it allows teams to move from reactive data gathering to proactive performance management.
Automation does not eliminate the need for oversight. It reduces variability in the inputs that drive disclosure, performance benchmarking, and decarbonisation strategy.
How Automated UK Utility Data Supports CSRD, EU Taxonomy and GRESB
As organisations prepare for the 2026 reporting cycle, expectations around energy data quality continue to increase.
Electricity and gas consumption data underpins disclosures associated with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), alignment assessments under the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities, and performance benchmarking within the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). Accurate Perse electricity and gas data is foundational to CSRD energy reporting and EU Taxonomy alignment assessments, strengthening emissions calculations and reducing exposure to data gaps during verification.
While regulatory frameworks evolve, the core requirement remains stable: complete, consistent, and defensible building-level energy data.
Automated UK utility ingestion reduces exposure to:
-
- Data gaps that surface during verification
-
- Late-cycle reporting adjustments
-
- Inconsistent monthly boundaries
-
- Portfolio blind spots that affect performance analysis
In a market where sustainability performance increasingly influences capital flows, that stability is commercially relevant.
What the Perse Energy Data Integration Enables
For organisations with growing UK exposure, the integration provides a more scalable foundation. Newly acquired assets can be onboarded more efficiently. Existing assets can maintain consistent reporting cadence. Portfolio managers gain clearer visibility into energy trends without waiting for manual consolidation.
The shift is subtle but important. Sustainability data becomes part of operational infrastructure rather than a seasonal project.
