to save energy in your business today. " width="195" height="143" />Government own analysis of its policies has identified that energy bills for businesses to rise by approximately a fifth by the end of the decade - now is the time to look into solutions that could help save energy in your business.
The annual energy statement anticipates average gas and electricity bills for medium-sized companies will rise by 19% by 2020 and 28% by 2030. Electricity bills will increase 34% by 2020 and 45% by 2030.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change predict increases for medium sized businesses was less than a forecast a year ago due to programmes such as funding the renewable heat incentive through general taxation rather than a levy on fossil fuel suppliers.
On a more positive note, the government’s figures predict that average household energy bills would be 7% lower by 2020 than if no energy and climate policies were in place. These assumptions are based on estimates that 14m homes will be insulated – free of charge – under the “Green Deal” carbon-cutting initiative.
By introducing energy saving lighting and heating solutions UK businesses can reduce the impact of increasing fuel prices and in many instances save considerable money.
