The financial benefits of improving energy efficiency make it an attractive area for companies to address. The Carbon Trust estimates that businesses in the UK waste 10 to 20% of the energy that they buy due to poor control of heating, air conditioning, and ventilation and through leaving lights and appliances on when not in use. It makes sense therefore to measure monitor and control the energy in your business more effectively.
Haven Power wants to help you optimise the use of energy that you buy from us and we are continually developing our service to help achieve this. There are a number of measures that are simple and economical that companies can implement to save energy, some of these are listed below.
We are also developing products that help customers save energy one of these is our Smart Meter Plan. Smart meters are the modern way to measure energy use and are an alternative to the traditional electricity meter. The meters record readings very frequently and electricity usage can be monitored in intervals as low as every half hour. The meters are read remotely using the GSM or GPRS network which provides an accurate and regular report of energy usage. This allows customers to make an informed decision on how and when they use energy, helping them identify and eliminate waste. In addition actual readings are used to calculate bills and therefore estimated bills become a thing of the past.
Our Haven Green Plan also includes a comprehensive energy advice service via our energy management partner. For those customers choosing Green energy from Haven our website includes a Green Customer Zone which includes an extensive range of energy and funding advice as well a free consultation with our energy management partner.
