SME's Waste over a Billion on Energy Costs

A new campaign by Action Energy, a government funded programme, highlights the fact that British small business is wasting as much as 30% of its energy. With SME's footing an annual energy bill of £3.5 billion, this amounts to a loss of £1.1billion or £7,000 per business.

These figures clearly illustrate how wasting energy impacts directly on your businesses bottom line. Simple measures such as using light intelligently or lowering office temperatures by just one degree can significantly reduce energy costs. The government funded Action Energy website contains for free publications, fact sheets and tips on how to make substantial energy savings and improve your bottom line.
