The benefits associated with utilising renewable and environmentally-friendly business energy are set to become even more significant for U.K. businesses.

Exporting to the grid
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) , which will officially come into effect on 1 January 2020, will ensure that small businesses get paid for exporting to the grid any excess electricity created via renewable technologies.
The scheme means that any business throughout the U.K. that has already installed wind turbines, anaerobic digestion plants, solar panels or any other form of renewable energy generation can benefit significantly should they have enough capacity to sell to the grid. Another step in the green revolution
The government’s announcement that the SEG is set to be introduced is yet another incredibly positive step towards encouraging businesses large and small to invest in greener forms of energy production.
According to MR Chris Skidmore, who is the Interim Minister of State for Energy and Clean Growth, the future of energy production in the U.K. is local. He also believes that being able to pay businesses for exporting energy is a ‘significant milestone’ when it comes to encouraging innovation and adoption in the green technology sector.
The evolution of FiT
The Feed-in Tariffs scheme, which was introduced during 2010, was designed to give businesses, as well as owners of small-scale renewables, a fixed rate of payment, which would slowly but surely offset to cost of installing the renewable technologies in the first place.
And, while this scheme was deemed a success and encouraged many hundreds of renewable projects up and down the country, the government deemed that it should be wrapped up, and FiT stopped accepting new entrants at the end of March 2019.
The green alliance
Many organisations, with particular reference to Green Alliance, which stated that the decision to move away from the FiT system was a ‘major blow’ to the renewables community. However, it is hoped that following the introduction of SEG, businesses will once again be encouraged to take the plunge and invest in green energy.

I spoke to Paul Kay this morning who in the space of 30 mins looks to have halved my salon electric bill, he was personable, knowledgeable and honest. The proof will be seeing if the bills actually reduce and if so I will leave another review but so far an excellent service

Rob says that thanks to the competitive rates secured by Utility Bidder in his studio, it would be cheaper to live there than at home! “We pay about £30 a month for gas during the winter and around £25 a month for electricity – and that’s despite having a lot of energy-guzzling equipment such as studio lights and fan heaters. Our energy bills at home are far more expensive!”
