Against the backdrop of mixed messages from government on transitioning away from fossil fuels, David Sing from Energy Assets argues that there is no time to lose in getting industry 'energy fi t' to both bear down on costs and contribute to the UK's wider sustainability goals. Aside from increasing pressure


from customers, stakeholders and suppliers to demonstrate their sustainability credentials, it's also likely that businesses will be subject to additional reporting regimes measuring their carbon footprint showing their progress. This article explores the


monitoring and measuring technology that can help energy managers get a grip on their data and prioritise the actions that will deliver the fastest payback.
