Britain’s Energy Crisis

What can businesses do to protect against rising energy bills?

In an unprecedented period of extreme volatility, energy prices across Britain and Europe have surged to record highs. High demand and reduced supply are behind a surge in wholesale prices, and although the whole of Europe is struggling, the high power prices are most pronounced in Britain, creating a problem for businesses who will bear the brunt as the problem continues.

Is there a solution to energy price volatility?

Fortunately there is a tried and tested solution to rising energy bills and price volatility, and that is renewable energy. Solar panels, for example allow you to generate your own electricity on-site and ‘pre-purchase’ your electricity at a fixed unit price, allowing you to forecast your long-term energy costs and protect your business against future hikes in utility prices.

As well as securing your future energy, solar panels can lower your energy demand from the National Grid and fossil fuels. In addition to this, you can store the excess energy in a large-scale battery storage system to use at a later date, or as protection against potential energy rationing or blackouts. Please see eight reasons your business should install solar panels, for more information.

Due to the particularly high financial returns that solar panels deliver, they are the most popular renewable energy technology in the UK. Thousands of businesses have already installed solar panels to power their operations with clean energy generated by the sun.

Solar PV is well-known to be an efficient and long-term solution for a wide range of businesses. With very low maintenance costs and wide range of benefits, they are a sensible investment for any business looking to create a healthy financial return whilst reducing their carbon footprint.
