Green Energy for Businesses
What is green energy?
“Green energy is energy that can be produced using a method, and from a source, that causes no harm to the natural environment” (National Grid).
Although people often use ‘green energy’ and ‘renewable energy’ interchangeably, not all renewable energy sources qualify as green. For instance, some processes required in generating renewable energy, such as the construction of infrastructure, can still involve carbon emissions.
What are the benefits of green energy for businesses?
- Cost Savings – As green energy technologies advance and become more cost-effective, green energy tariffs may offer competitive pricing. For example, the cost of solar and wind energy has decreased significantly, which can translate into lower rates for businesses on green tariffs. Some green energy providers offer fixed-rate tariffs or long-term contracts that can lock in lower prices compared to fluctuating fossil fuel markets.
- Enhanced Brand Reputation – Adopting green energy strategies (like an EV fleet) helps improve a company’s public image and shows commitment to sustainability, appealing to eco-conscious customers and potential employees.
- Competitive Advantage – Environmentally responsible businesses stand out from their competitors. Implementing green initiatives like the roll out of an EV fleet prove commitment.
- Compliance With Regulations – The UK government is aiming towards ‘building back greener’ and reaching its legally binding target of net zero emissions by 2050. Businesses need to do their part to help reach these targets. Switching to a green energy tariff and installing EV chargers will help in meeting these legal requirements.
- Environmental Impact – Green energy sources, such as wind and solar, significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Their adoption supports efforts to combat climate change, reduces environmental impact, and contributes to a more sustainable future.
