Switching to/generating your own renewable energy
Switching to a renewable energy provider can be a simple step to reduce your business' carbon footprint.
You can create significant savings by generating your own renewable energy on site, by installing solar panels or switching a traditional gas boiler to a low carbon alternative like a heat pump. Not only does this save emissions, but also saves on your energy bills, whilst ensuring energy independence from volatile price rises by electricity providers. There is also potential for businesses to make a profit from the energy they generate, by selling any unused energy back to the grid or offering to link into a local community energy scheme to power nearby homes and organisations.
