Once you’ve implemented at least some of these business energy-saving initiatives, you’ll want to make sure they are working (i.e., reducing your energy usage and saving you money). So, do you simply refer to your monthly or quarterly energy bill/statement? Well, you can, but you’ll be missing out on some valuable insights. What you ideally want is a clear view of your energy usage data. As it happens, the UK government also understands the need for you to see your usage data, which is why they introduced an energy data policy. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ)  state that if you have a smart meter, you can now request historic smart meter data and your energy supplier must respond to your request within 10 working days. With this information and insight to hand, you will be empowered to better understand and manage energy use at your business.
