EDF has launched a new partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) aimed at helping more than 150,000 small firms reduce their energy costs, cut carbon and gain greater control over their consumption.
Through the collaboration, FSB members will gain access to a dedicated online hub featuring free resources such as guides, blogs, videos, webinars and focus groups. The hub is designed to provide practical advice on how to manage energy more efficiently, while also giving members the chance to feed back directly on the kind of support they need in future.
By combining the resources with smart meter data, small firms will be able to better understand their energy use, reduce waste and select tariffs that fit their needs. The move comes as government figures show that just over half of British SMEs (52 per cent) currently have a smart meter, highlighting significant scope for improvement.
The partnership also includes exclusive incentives for FSB members. New and existing small business customers can access Amazon vouchers worth up to £150 when signing up to EDF fixed-term contracts. Members will also be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a year of free energy valued at £3,700.
Jon Perks, Director of Small Business at EDF, said: “Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy. This partnership with the FSB will give them the tools, insight and confidence to manage their energy smarter, helping them save both cash and carbon. We are proud to support small firms with practical solutions that make a real difference to their business and sustainability goals.”
Caroline Lavelle, Chief Commercial Officer at the FSB, added: “Our members are constantly looking for ways to cut costs and strengthen their resilience. Partnering with EDF Small Business will provide them with expert advice, practical tools and meaningful incentives that can have a real impact on their bottom line and long-term sustainability.”
The EDF-FSB partnership is the latest example of how energy suppliers and business groups are working together to accelerate adoption of smart technologies and sustainable practices across the UK’s SME sector.
