Business energy costs are on an upward trajectory, as increasing wholesale costs combine with growing non-commodity charges. With the ESOS Phase 2 deadline looming, the new Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework commencing in April and increasing sustainability scrutiny, business energy is under pressure from every direction.

Understanding your energy portfolio and using data to drive cost and consumption strategies has never been more important.

This exclusive BusinessGreen webinar, hosted in association with leading energy consultancy Inenco, will provide essential insights into the direction of the UK's energy policy framework and how businesses can use their data to curb both their energy bills and their carbon footprint.

Chaired by BusinessGreen Editor-in-Chief, the hour-long session will feature a series of presentations on the latest energy policy developments and how leading businesses are responding, followed by an interactive Q&A session with our expert panel.

  1. Dan Pardesi - Know your portfolio: a best practice guide to collecting your data, understanding your portfolio and identifying those projects you can implement for ESOS Phase 2 and the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework.
  2. Kevin Jackson - Revise your energy strategy: not only will ESOS mean an updated view of your portfolio (and potential changes if projects include asset upgrades or reduction), but rising wholesale costs, changes to charging methodologies and new technology on the market means businesses need to update their strategy accordingly to maximise value and mitigate risks.
  3. Helen Barnet - Case studies: a brief overview of organisations who used their ESOS Phase 1 data to drive savings, including an Aviation Services and Distribution Group and a leading outsource provider of fleet incident management.
  4. Q&A session with all speakers
