Energy For Businesses In The UK

May 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Businesses have hailed the government’s recent plans to promote the reduction of energy use within UK industry. The government will be paying companies to curb their energy use through funding from the capacity market, originally designed to incentivise the development of back up power plants.

This system allows businesses that promise to reduce their consumption to bid in auctions for contracts against those energy firms offering to supply back up plant for times of peak demand. It is hoped that this method will encourage significant energy gains, raising the prospect of billions of pounds of energy bill savings. However, the government has admitted that it is uncertain of the potential of this approach.

Overall, this new approach by the government is predicted to curb electricity demand in the UK by 9 per cent in 2030, saving the country a total of £2.3bn compared to the current costs of energy. This has recently been revised down however from a previous estimate of £4bn.

Cutting business energy consumption is not just important to the UK, with an EU summit having met this week to discuss the ever rising cost of energy in the region. Prices are known to have increased to a significant level over non-EU nations, with bills equalling amounts 37% higher than those in the US, and 20% higher than those in Japan.
