Tips for business

If you'd like to save money on your electricity bill, it's important to understand how your business uses electricity and what you can do to reduce its usage.

A good place to start is with our tips for businesses, offering a range of advice on everything from lighting to food service equipment.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning can account for up to 50% of your business’s electricity bill, so it’s a great idea to improve its energy efficiency.

Compressed air

You can lower your electricity costs and save money by managing compressed air systems more efficiently and taking a few proactive steps.

Food service equipment

More energy efficient practices for your cooking facilities can benefit your business, with significant cost savings and less wastage.

Hot water

Choosing new technologies, regular maintenance, fixing leaks and changing some old habits can reduce your energy use for hot water.

Lighting

Lighting is often your business’s highest electricity cost, so it may also be your greatest opportunity for savings.

Office equipment

Office equipment can account for up to 20% of your electricity usage, so it's important to ensure you're using them efficiently.
