Energy firms warn that price freezes could severely affect service provision

Energy companies were quick to answer the recent statements from UK’s Labour party leader regarding a possible government-imposed 2-year freeze of energy prices, multiple news reports have revealed.

First and foremost, suppliers claimed that capping prices would certainly jeopardize the future gas and electricity supply processes, with companies losing the required funds for investments.

Furthermore, their leaders also argued that a large part of the energy bills is actually made-up of government-imposed taxes required for funding various projects, so moving these costs into general taxation would result in an immediate drop in terms of energy bills.

Additionally, as the announcement negatively affected Centrica’s and SSE’s share prices, the former actually went as far as warning that ‘it would not be economically viable to continue’ supplying energy in Britain if prices were capped while costs were rising.

Implementing an efficient Building Energy Management System is one of the most effective methods for companies, as well as home owners, to cut their overall energy bills.

Building Energy Management Systems are capable of delivering extensive monitoring and control options, compared to basic controls. They typically employ data from a variety of sources (boiler flow and return sensors, internal and external temperature sensors, occupancy sensors, humidity sensors, etc.), and enable the perfect optimization of a building’s boiler-based central heating system.
