Now is the time for small businesses to become real players in the energy market. That’s the message from climate change minister Greg Barker in his recent column in the Daily Telegraph.
Mr Barker implored the investment potential of the Feed in Tariff (FiT) scheme for both domestic and business electricity and gas customers.
“Our homes, businesses and communities can also become dynamic players in the new energy economy by producing their own green electricity and selling it back into the national grid,†Mr Barker wrote.
By investing in such technology as solar panels, businesses are able to generate their own electricity and sell any excess to their business electricity needs back to the grid.
As well as slashing business electricity costs and bringing in money, this type of scheme helps to reduce your business’s carbon footprint and improve its green credentials – increasingly important to many businesses these days.
However, putting solar panels or wind turbines on your premises is not a practical solution for every business. That’s why at Energy Advice Line we can help you find the best tariff for your business electricity or gas – taking into account what matters to you, such as green energy generation.
In his statement, Mr Barker also gave a clear message to potential investors that the UK government is committed to the renewable energy industry to ensure a secure and affordable supply of electricity for business and domestic customers alike.
