Enigin Update - Energy Efficiency Advice for Scottish Businesses and Public Sector
THE Scottish Government has set up a programme to help businesses and public sector organisations to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through improved energy efficiency.
The new web portal, the Scottish Energy and Resource Efficiency Service (SERES), is now available and is designed to streamline and make more consistent and comprehensive energy efficiency advice and safety programmes, through a lone enquiry point.
In addition to this newly launched service , from 2013 the Scottish Government plan to initiate an integrated Business Resource and Energy Efficiency Service. This new service looks to provide Scottish businesses and public sector organisations similar support, as is currently supplied by the Energy Saving Trust, the Carbon Trust, and Zero Waste Scotland.
Scotland’s Enterprise Minister Fergus Ewing explained: “We want to deliver sustainable economic growth for Scotland and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy. Energy and resource efficiency is a key way for business and public sector organisations to reduce costs, increase business competitiveness and help Scotland become truly low carbon.
“As outlined in the Government Economic Strategy, we are co-ordinating the range of business and public sector support and advice programmes delivered by a number of bodies. This will make it easier to access professional advice from any entry point through joint marketing, events and cross-referral. The service offers comprehensive information, advice and support to improve resource and energy management – that translates into cost savings for Scottish businesses.
“We will build on this virtual framework to establish a new single integrated Business Resource and Energy Efficiency Service for Scotland, which will integrate our current advice and support delivered to business and public sector from 2013.’’
Enigin Distributors welcome this move, as awareness of energy efficiency improvements opens up the way for them to introduce Enigin plc's energy saving products range and solutions, which substantially reduce energy demand, energy costs and carbon emissions.
