How to… help SMEs with energy efficiency

In this episode of our series, we chat to Alex Rathmell, Managing Director at EnergyPro Ltd about how to set up an ESCO (Energy Services Company) locally to support small and medium businesses to save money and reduce their carbon emissions.
Watch now to find out:
- Why businesses find it difficult to ‘go green’, and why is it so important that they do so?
- Can the success of community energy projects provide inspiration for how to engage businesses?
- How can energy efficiency be packaged so that SMEs find it easy to say “yes”?
- About the ESCO-in-a-box pilot in Oxfordshire, and how other regions can benefit from this new, government-funded approach.
