With an increasing awareness of climate change consumers are making a greater effort to reduce their carbon footprint.

We will endeavour to produce impartial news that will be both informative and beneficial and we hope you enjoy it.   The D-ENERGi Team As a company we have ten years experience in the energy industry, from gas and electricity to the expansion in renewable energy solutions.

Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a new energy partnership with Norway. This agreement will not only grant us with access to gas and oil reserves but also provide 1,300 jobs at their engineering hub in Chiswick, this is in addition to the 1,000 jobs Aker Solutions has already created in the UK. Norwegian companies Statoil and Statkraft are also looking to invest £31 billion in offshore windfarms which could eventually produce 10% of the UK’s electricity needs. This agreement comes swift on the heels of the recent announcement that a deal has been made with Iceland for their geothermal energy. For more information visit the DECC website.

However this is not applicable to large users of gas, and is not part of the standard smart meter role out plan. We can help heavy gas users, understand in excellent detail their consumption patterns in real time throughout the day. Establishing were efficiencies and cost savings could be made.

  The commodities market, like the stock market, can be highly volatile and is prone to great shifts. Electricity rates tend to have a greater level of stability due to the fact that quantities are generated as opposed to recovered such as with gas. Supplies of gas are dependent upon the successful confluence of so many contributing factors that a single fault can result in low supplies for the Britain and therefore higher prices. In the last week alone Britain has seen two spikes in gas prices; on Thursday, due to maintenance on pipelines in Norway, and on Friday, due to an unplanned outage at the St Fergus gas terminal. As a result of each incident the price of gas rose by a total of two pence per therm (a rise of 0.0682 p/kWh). Though this doesn’t sound like much, if you consider that a medium to large care home or hotel can consume between 100,000 and 400,000 kWh of gas in a year this could be an increase in cost of between £6,820 and £27,280.

Solar Photovoltaic Systems by D-ENERGi D-ENERGi are delighted to  announce the successful completion of 3  Solar  Photovoltaic system (Solar PV) installations for Equilibrium Healthcare. The  three sites include Moston Grange Nursing Home, Bigfoot hospital, and Oaklands  House.
