EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The methodology described in this strategic paper can be applied right across the budget spectrum. Whether you are an SME or Blue Chip organisation, significant reductions in carbon emissions and energy consumption can be achieved.
Energy costs could typically be up by 34% from 2006 and as much as 72% from 2005 and there is a natural trend for absolute consumption to increase (particularly within the Commercial property sector)
This paper sets out the proposed strategic approach to managing a typical energy strategy, based on a annual utility spend of up to circa £60m, to achieve the following challenging stretch targets:
15% reduction in like for like electricity consumption
15% reduction in like for like fossil fuel consumption
Underpinning these targets is the strategic objective e.g. 'Drive an energy strategy that delivers like-for-like improvements in energy consumption and emissions'
By categorising activities into the following frameworks Behavioural, Technical and Procurement solutions a detailed action plan can be produced to capture these requirements and the wider strategic actions needed to achieve the stretch targets.
