Everyone’s talking about the energy crisis. It’s certainly a VUCA world when it comes to energy costs for business – volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. How do we simplify all this to make sure we understand the key issues and practical solutions available to lead our businesses through the crisis effectively? This session aims to provide leaders with clarity, a deeper understanding of the issues and outlook, and the knowledge to manage energy costs effectively in their business.

What is this new government support scheme? How do we actually claim it? What’s the outlook for next year? Claire will help you to answer these questions. She will take you through how we got here, discussing the supply and demand issues that are still prevalent in the industry, and how the war in Ukraine has exacerbated the problem here in the UK. An in depth review of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme will aim to provide actual insight into how the relief will work for you, including:
• Who will benefit;
• Information on the various different tariffs the scheme covers; and
• When you can expect to see savings;

She will also cover worked examples so you can see the potential impact in real terms.

But the session isn’t just focused on the here and now. With the scheme initially running for only six months over the winter there is plenty to consider on the other side. Claire will take you through the current expectations for 2023 and the impact this could have on businesses for the future, pointing at different routes businesses can take to reduce their energy usage in the long term. With a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon, Claire will end the presentation will end with a useful question and answer session, allowing you to gain extra clarity on any points raised, or voice any concerns you may have for your business.
