Small businesses urged to focus on energy costs. SEAI says there is savings of €200m per year to be made

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland says the small and medium enterprises where 90% of us work spend €2 billion annually on energy.

Switching energy provider is another easy way in which businesses tend to save on energy costs, according to a survey conducted by the SEAI. Only one in five businesses believe they have already done all they can to reduce energy consumption.However, Chief Executive of the SEAI Jim Gannon said energy efficiency is perhaps understandably low on the priority list, with businesses more concerned about attracting customers, their competitors, and cash-flow in a challenging environment.

It is worrying, he said, that up to a quarter of survey respondents say they are simply not interested in, or have not investigated in, the opportunities to be more energy efficient.
