Smart Energy strategies becoming a priority for UK boardrooms

The UK’s business and public sector face a battle to manage business risk in the face of predicted energy price rises and potential shortages in energy supply. In a new study published by T-Systems in cooperation with The Economist Intelligence Unit, 52% of those surveyed, believe securing energy supply should be the top priority for the new government in order to maintain UK competitiveness.

It is clear that in the near future, access to energy and its careful management will be as critical to business success as access to capital and management of capital is today. Accelerating efforts to increase energy efficiency within individual businesses marks a critical first step in managing the growing level of risk. In addition, organisations will need to collaborate much closer with energy providers in order to establish a new model for sustainable energy supply.

In order to succeed both groups will depend on better information and transparency of usage throughout the energy supply chain. A new critical infrastructure is required to enable businesses and communities to become ‘power positive’.
