1. WHY DO YOU NEED GRID EDGE?
From emerging industries to well-established sectors, from start-ups to global giants, organisations worldwide are joining the race to Net Zero in the face of an ongoing climate crisis.
But while more than a third (34%) of the world’s biggest organisations have committed to Net Zero, Accenture predicts that 93% will fail to achieve these goals unless they can reduce their emissions at double the pace by 2030.
100% of facility managers believe that sustainability management is the area of facility management that will see the strongest growth over the next 12 months.
Over the next decade, the UK energy grid will shift to more flexible energy pricing, including peak time-of-day tariffs designed to encourage energy consumers to reduce their energy consumption during peak periods.
Businesses that can’t adjust when they use energy to avoid these peak cost periods are expected to incur a 30% increase in costs. So visibility and control will be absolutely key for all commercial buildings that want to avoid buying energy at a premium.
70% of facility managers say that energy management is the area of sustainability that’s seen the firmest growth over the past year.
Grid Edge is one of the best investments we’ve made to date.
Making sustainability pledges and commitments to Net Zero is vital to maintaining safer communities, cleaner air and a planet that can thrive.
And amidst growing pressure for businesses to play their part in tackling the climate crisis, making sustainability a part of your corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives can help send out a powerful message to consumers.
We need energy innovations to scale and become the new normal if we are to deliver on our national energy efficiency and climate goals.
