Helping you tackle the energy crisis
We recognise the challenges that hospitality businesses are under when it comes to energy and facing bills that are three or four times higher than two years ago. We were instrumental in securing the original energy support scheme from the Government, which was crucial to many, and we’re continuing to campaign for more support for businesses.
We want to make sure you have the information at your fingertips to help secure a better contract, make sense of government schemes and become more energy efficient in your business.
Access a free energy and carbon cutting scheme
Hospitality businesses are able to access a new, free energy and carbon cutting service funded by the Government. The service, secured by UKHospitality and provided by Zero Carbon Service, is available to small- and medium-sized hospitality businesses.
It will identify energy waste in the business and work with you to fix it. It will help save costs and cut carbon.
Calling for a CMA investigation into the energy market
We're calling for a formal investigation to address “entrenched competition problems” in the non-domestic energy market. We've written to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to say that the criteria for a Market Investigation Reference (MIR) had been “undoubtedly met”, including reasonable grounds for suspecting competition is not effective and the scale of the problem.
A market investigation would be conducted by the CMA to consider whether the features of a market – the non-domestic energy market in this instance – have an adverse effect on competition and, if so, what remedies are available to address the issue.
Helping you save energy
Becoming more energy efficient is a way to make a significant reduction in your energy usage and save money on your bills. Not only does it help financially, but it also helps your business become more sustainable. A true win-win.
As part of the Hospitality Sector Council, we helped inform a comprehensive guide covering how to cut your energy use.
