Energy savings by business will make a vital contribution to the reduced carbon emissions that are vital to prevent global warming, or minimise its effects.
 
Apart from being the ethical route, it is one that can see cost savings in the form of massively reduced power bills (up to 50%) and the avoidance of the swinging financial penalties for failing to meet tough targets that will be imposed on commercial organisations in upcoming years.
 
Encouragingly, there are a number of surprisingly easy ways businesses can bring about real change.
 
•    Monitor the Market
Don’t leave the energy purchase and renewal to the standard 4 weeks prior.  Energy consultancies have the expertise and knowledge to buy power at just the right time, often forward buying to maximise savings.
•    Tendering Service
Ensure your energy broker has links with every UK energy supplier and guide you to the correct choice of contract length hence minimizing the highs in the market.
•    Consumption Management
An energy consultancy can review and monitor consumption on site to assist you in actively reducing power used so reducing bills and improving environmental efficiency.

Orchard Energy can help businesses with all the above and acts as a virtual energy department from purchasing to energy reduction and costs are completely transparent. Orchard is totally independent to the energy providers and the team continually analyses the market for the best rates, even forward buying power.
