I recently had the pleasure of speaking on an energy efficiency panel for the Large Format Retail Association (LFRA). With more than 100 major retailers in attendance, I was surprised to learn that only one company had an employee whose role was specifically dedicated to energy savings. Take a bow, Spotlight Retail Group! It's understandable that everyone else in the room thought electricity costs fell somewhere between facilities management, procurement and accounting, but it's no wonder big bills are becoming such a major cause of lower profitability and competitiveness. The key message is that energy efficiency is a C-suite responsibility. If energy savings aren't a Key Performance Indica
It was great to hear Federal Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg's speech at the Aus Chamber's Business Leaders lunch last week. We need more politicians to understand the balance between renewables and energy efficiency. Lowest cost generation is the energy you don’t use. Edge Electrons' PowerSave and SolarIQ reduce electricity usage by up to 20%.
