How can I reduce non-energy costs?
1. Use your business' data
If you can't measure it, you can't manage it
Reducing your costs starts with controlling your consumption, and for that you need insights into your usage. Advantage Analytics is a world-class data analytics platform that gives you insights into every aspect of your energy usage.
2. Spread your usage
Time of day affects your costs
By avoiding using energy at certain times of the day, you could potentially make savings on time-sensitive non-energy charges. This includes ‘Transmission Network Use of System’ (TUoS) and ‘Distribution Use of System’ (DUoS) costs.
3.Reduce your usage
Small changes can make a big difference
Making changes to your energy usage through increasing your efficiency—including improving your insulation, upgrading your lighting and investing in new equipment—not only reduces your wholesale costs, but can lower your non-energy costs. Your Climate Change Levy (CCL) contribution depends on the volume of energy your business uses, so lowering your usage could reduce your costs beyond just what you’re saving on your consumption.
