In collaboration with the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce, GO Low Carbon are offering a webinar series with energy advice from experts. Each week we will cover a different topic, followed by an open Q&A.

Tuesdays 2-3 pm [online] November:

  • 15th: Carbon Emissions - Understanding your businesses carbon footprint to reduce overhead costs
  • 22nd: Solar Panels - Generating your own green energy for your business

Energy

The dramatic increase in gas and electricity prices has put an unprecedented strain on UK businesses, with some seeing bills increase by as much as 400% overnight and leaving many not knowing which way to turn. In this webinar we will be providing some insight into what’s happening in the energy markets and advice on how best to minimise the impact rising prices have on your business, covering topics including;

  • The Government's Energy Support Scheme – how the discount works
  • Gas and electricity contracts – options available and typical rates
  • Why it is important to have an energy-buying strategy
  • Tips on how to improve energy efficiency

Carbon Emissions

Carbon footprints, Net-Zero targets, Carbon Neutral commitments - what do all these phrases mean? Many businesses are keen to reduce their environmental impact, but 69% of SMEs don’t know how to measure the carbon emissions their business produces. You may feel under pressure from stakeholders, customers, tender contracts, or employees to disclose your carbon footprint and show how you are working towards reducing your impact. The GO Low Carbon team will explain where to start and how completing a carbon audit can reduce your overhead costs.

  • Debunking phases - Net-Zero vs. Carbon Neutral
  • Why measure your carbon footprint?
  • Which emissions matter, and what scopes are included?
  • How a carbon audit can reduce your overhead costs - typical costs, benefits, and return on investment

Solar

With electricity prices at an all-time high, there’s no wonder that the solar industry has seen a 600% increase in orders in 2022 as businesses look to become more energy independent while also reducing their carbon footprint. With more than 15 years of experience in commercial solar, Ryan Park from GO Low Carbon will answer the common questions businesses ask about solar panels and a wider range of energy-saving or electricity-generating technologies.

  • A brief overview of energy-saving and generating technologies available to businesses
  • Is solar right for my business?
  • What do I need to take into consideration? – design, location, planning
  • How much money and carbon will it save?
  • Typical costs, benefits, and return on investment
