Smart Energy Monitoring

The rising cost of energy has been in the news for weeks now and is something that all businesses will need to budget for.

Controlling energy use is an option that many businesses will be thinking about. Making small steps, like installing a smart meter, could help you avoid spending more on energy than you need to by giving you valuable insights into how your business uses energy - day and night.

Firms with 10 employees or less could be eligible for a smart meter - find out more at smartenergygb.org.

The Smart Energy Monitoring programme, funded by Staffordshire County Council, is offering 50% match funding to eligible businesses for the temporary installation of smart meters.
