Information available from
The Carbon Trust provides a range of information on energy saving. Taking a walk-round survey of your business will help you identify any energy that is being wasted and focus on the key areas in which savings can be made. The Action Plan Tool will help you identify the key actions that you can undertake at your site to save energy.
If your energy bill is over £50,000 per year, you may also benefit from a free energy survey.
There are also on line benchmarking tools to help you compare your energy use with other similar organisations.
Practical advice is also available from Business Link
