Solve your energy headache for a bright business future

The price of energy is on everyone’s lips, as our bills soar and the protection from Ofgem’s price cap starts to falter. Family-owned businesses are getting hit harder than ever as owners juggle with the results of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising daily energy costs, leaving many worrying about not only their present but also their future!

Handing over the reins to the next generation is supposed to be an extremely proud and empowering moment as you pass on a better business than the one you were given, this is the magic for any family-owned business owner. Unfortunately, due to global and external situations, many are faced with the harsh reality of potentially passing down businesses that are struggling to thrive and in lots of cases, even survive.

But, we believe you can control the impacts from external forces with regards to your energy costs by changing how you look at and work with energy, this is what we will look at below.

Renewables aren’t new but they are cheaper

Renewable energy has been around for a little while now but as the technology gets better and the supplier numbers increase the cost comes down, which is great news both for today’s business owners but also for the environment and its future!

Clean energy has two major benefits – firstly, the positive impacts on the environment including climate change. Secondly, renewable energy sources reduce costs significantly and therefore, allow you to save money – on average for each KwH consumed from your system, you will save more than 0.13p per hour. The new price changes that are due in April, which will see costs soar again (as much as £693 for some) mean renewables could now save business owners up to 0.30p p/kWh!

This means that not only will the planet have a brighter future but so will the next generation who inherit the family-owned business!!

With Ofgem’s price cap changing in both, April and October we have seen more businesses reaching out to Kembla to educate themselves on solutions, as well as switch to renewable energy sources like solar to future-proof their business and protect their costs!

In 2022, there is a range of options when it comes to renewable energy, with wind power, hydropower and biomass from plants all popular but the source that makes the most sense for business owners is solar – without a shadow of a doubt!

Why solar is your new best friend

Solar has become more accessible, cheaper and easier to operate than ever making it the obvious choice for family-owned businesses as it too is designed to build a better future for generations to come. By installing Solar PV, a business will be able to reduce its carbon footprint to promote a healthier world but also cut down on energy costs – this alone would allow for greater profit margins! Additional profits from energy savings could give business owners the opportunity to expand and grow their business to truly leave their company in the best possible place for their children to inherit.

‘Going green’ is also a huge positive in the eyes of many modern-day consumers, meaning businesses who switch to cleaner energy are often favoured and subsequently, increase their customer numbers and revenue. Being ‘Green’ is a huge brand bonus in the 21st century!

Clean future for the planet and humankind, reduced energy costs and increased profits to fuel growth for your children – that is why solar is so powerful!

How Kembla has been helping

Kembla was started to bring self-powered solar energy to more people so they could cut their carbon footprint, reduce energy bills, protect against price hikes from energy titans and meet family-owned business’s ethical aims. We, wholeheartedly, believe solar is the shining light for the future, both financially and environmentally!

From consultation, through installation and aftercare, it is important to us to protect you from further energy price spikes and ensure a future your family and business can thrive in – by putting your energy back in your control.

Businesses often get in touch to ask “what are our options” so this is how we’ve been helping business owners thrive when it comes to their energy… Installing solar panels to generate clean, renewable electricity to reduce costs, improve profit margins and lower your organisations’ carbon footprint is the primary solution but additional options include electrical vehicle (EV) charging points, which are highly attractive to build a brands’ reputation to new talent and to encourage positive environmental business culture (be sure to take advantage of up to £350 in OLEV grants but be quick as the deadline is the 31st March 2022). One of our hero solutions is battery storage, this is hugely popular due to the role it can play in maximising your efficiency, resulting in lower electricity costs even once the sun goes to bed.

A sustainable future is a must for both businesses and the environment, if you’d like to learn more then please do get in touch.
