Save money through energy efficiency [UK]

The DECC news states “by reducing energy consumption by 1 per cent, big business could save over £250 million on their energy bills annually.”

Launch of the Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme

The launch of the ESOS (Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme) should help larger organisations trim costs on energy by using a detailed energy audit. ESOS will ensure all organisations that employ 250 people or more, or ‘have an annual turnover of above £40 million and a balance sheet above £34 million’ will have to carry out an energy audit every 4 years with the first audit being due by the 5th December 2015. However the ESOS scheme will not apply to the public sector.
