There are a range of new initiatives businesses can take advantage of, depending on their size and premises, although the Government does not target specific energy efficiency support specifically on new businesses<\/p>
The Electricity Demand Reduction Pilot is making a total of up to £20 million available to organisations that deliver electricity savings during winter peak times by installing more efficient equipment.<\/p>
The recently introduced Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) makes it mandatory for large enterprises in the UK to measure and audit their energy use. The Scheme will improve awareness within large UK businesses and third-sector bodies of cost-effective energy efficiency steps they can take.<\/p>
In order to raise awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency amongst small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), in spring 2015 the Government will publish specific guidance, including advice on simple steps to reduce energy consumption. The Government is also taking steps to raise awareness amongst SMEs of the Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme as a voluntary tool they can use to identify energy saving opportunities.<\/p>

Wholesale fuel prices are fundamentally driven by crude prices. At the margin supply and demand factors for individual refined products will influence their prices.<\/p>
Such factors are not necessarily the same for both petrol and diesel, which can lead to disparities in prices. For example, the UK produces more petrol than is demanded domestically, and this surplus puts downward pressure on the petrol price. In contrast, the UK is a net importer of diesel and so extra costs of importing such as transportation costs must be factored into diesel prices.<\/p>
While petrol and diesel are taxed at differing rates in Ireland, they are currently treated equally for tax purposes in the UK.<\/p>"}
