All businesses in Greater Manchester can learn how to embrace energy efficiency and flexible energy use to unlock real benefits. We’ve brought together practical guidance and trusted resources from our local support network to help you get started. 

Reduce energy bills. Future-proof your business 

Whatever sector you work in, improving your organisation’s energy efficiency can increase 
profitability by cutting costs, reducing exposure to future energy price rises and, in many 
cases, improving productivity. 
Becoming more energy efficient does not always mean investing in expensive green 
technology. There are simple, low-cost changes every business can make, including quick 
wins that are easy to implement and, in some cases, free. 

Why invest in energy efficiency? 

18–25%
The average SME could reduce its energy bill by between 18% and 25% by installing energy efficiency measures. 
Under 1.5 years
The average payback period for energy efficiency measures is less than 1.5 years. 
66% Greater Manchester businesses have already installed energy efficiency measures to reduce 
their energy bills. 
 

First things first: calculate your emissions 

You can’t reduce your energy use without understanding when and where you use the most. Accurately measure and report your business’s carbon emissions and identify where action will have the biggest impact using this free, easy-to use carbon calculator from Green Economy and GM Business Growth Hub.
