With the closure of the RHI (non-domestic) scheme to new participants on 31 March 2021, major government incentives for generation have come to an end. Where do businesses look next, to save money on their energy and to reduce costs?

As subsidised generation is no longer an option, then energy reduction is the main opportunity remaining. NFU Energy offers energy audits which look at where and how your energy (mainly heat and electricity) is being used, and what can be done to reduce this. We have completed many energy audits for our customers, and for most, the cost of the audit is repaid within the first year after implementing the measures we recommend, and the rest within the second year.

Often there are simple zero-cost or low-cost options that can be implemented, and other options that require investment; we outline the expected cost savings and the payback on the investment.

If you are looking to save money and energy within your business, please call the NFU Energy team on 024 7669 6612.
