Benefits of renewable business energy
There are many advantages to opting for green energy solutions for your business. These benefits include:
Environmental impact
Electricity generated by fossil fuels is a major source of CO₂ emissions, which contributes to global climate change. Renewable energy sources are a greener alternative as they don’t produce greenhouse gases, therefore lowering your carbon footprint. Green energy also produces little to no pollution, contributing to cleaner air and water in your local area.
Stable, predictable costs
Fossil fuel prices tend to be influenced by the global market meaning they can fluctuate a lot in price due to international demand and changes in policy. Renewable energy isn’t impacted by these external factors in the same way and so is typically more stable, making it easier to budget energy costs.
Improved brand reputation
Many consumers now prefer brands that demonstrate environmental and corporate responsibility. Businesses that use renewable energy therefore attract eco-conscious customers and differentiate themselves from competitors. By using renewable energy, you could also appeal more to socially responsible investors (SRIs).
Eligibility for Government incentives
The UK Government is currently committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050 and as part of this have £5 billion of funding to help UK businesses become greener. By using renewable energy sources, your business could be eligible for schemes like this, and be in line with any ecological regulations the Government may impose.
Frequently asked questions
Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy comes from natural sources that are replenished quicker than they are consumed, meaning they won’t run out. In the UK, there are four main types of renewable energy sources:
- Wind – wind drives wind turbines which convert that energy into electricity
- Solar – solar panels absorb sunlight which in turn becomes electricity
- Hydroelectric – large volumes of falling water drive a turbine which then generates electricity
- Bioenergy – organic materials or biomass are used as a fuel to power generators.
If your business generates its own electricity, whether that’s through a wind turbine or solar panels, you can choose a supplier that offers the smart export guarantee (SEG). This is a tariff where you get paid for any surplus renewable energy you generate and feed back to the grid. As energy suppliers set their own SEGs, the amount you receive per kWh will vary, depending on their rates and if it’s fixed-rate or variable.
When looking for a renewable energy solution, you may find that green tariffs are a little more expensive. This is because green energy suppliers often have higher operating costs and invest in sustainable projects. However, this can vary depending on how much energy you use and how competitive the prices are. It’s worth comparing different options and considering what is best for your business, both financially and ecologically.
