Will businesses stop investing in energy? A new survey suggests they might.

According to a survey by Ernst & Young, four out of five of the UK’s top 250 companies are concerned about their return on investment when improving energy efficiency.

The recent article from H&V News (www.hvnplus.co.uk) noted that only nine per cent of companies have future plans to invest in energy efficient plant and services; shocking considering the financial and environmental benefits associated with the payback.

The majority of respondents involved with the survey believed that energy prices were likely to increase, a factor which would encourage 91 per cent to reduce consumption in a bid to save money.

The biggest concern it seems, is the length of time it would take to achieve a full ROI.

This survey highlighted one key issue – we are a nation of talkers. We want to make a change, if the cost of energy goes up.

Why wait? Stay ahead of the game.

Invest in energy efficiency and prepare yourself for the inevitable price rise.
