Food and drink firms confused about energy scheme

Food and drink firms are confused about the changes they must make to comply with the mandatory energy efficiency assessments, required as part of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).

That’s the view of Jes Rutter, md of energy efficiency specialist JRP Solutions, in this exclusive video for FoodManufacture.co.uk.

Rutter encouraged businesses to register and listen to the Food Manufacture Group’s free one-hour energy webinar at 11am on Thursday September 18 to gain the knowledge they needed.

“There seems to be quite a lot of lack of knowledge about what ESOS is about and what the implications are for companies,” he claimed.

‘Benefits or disadvantages’

“Businesses will get an appreciation of what it would mean to comply with ESOS, what other alternatives are available and the benefits or disadvantages of each from listening to the webinar.”

Watch this video to hear what benefits Rutter said the scheme could have for food and drink businesses.

Rutter is one of four expert speakers lined up to take part in the energy webinar.

The online seminar will explore the scope for savings, as businesses prepare to comply with new EU legislation requiring mandatory energy audits to be conducted by December 2015.

The panel also includes md of Wyke Farms Richard Clothier, head of climate change and energy policy at the Food and Drink Federation Stephen Reeson and energy efficiency deployment officer at the Department of Energy and Climate Change Martin Adams.
