The Cities Seeking a Natural Gas Phase Out
Not only is natural gas for power generation becoming increasingly expensive – with prices projected to rise further through to 2020 in the UK – but for geopolitical and environmental reasons, some cities are beginning to question where natural gas belongs in their energy mix at all, and for how long.
Some are going further still by planning a complete natural gas phase out by the year 2050. In this post we’ll explore this idea as well as the heating implications for small and medium-sized businesses.
Investing in Energy Efficiency: The 10% Rule [Infographic]
Are you an energy manager that has recently been tasked to invest in energy efficiency measures, but has no idea how much they will cost?

US Election: The Presidential Candidates on Energy Issues
You’re a busy energy manager – goodness knows you haven’t got any time to follow the maddening circus that is the US Presidential Election, never mind sort through the raging dumpster fire to understand each candidate’s stance on energy issues. (RIP Ken Bone – we barely knew ye.)
So, with less than one week remaining until Election Day, we did it for you!
No matter where in the world you are managing energy, the outcome of this historic event will likely affect energy policy and markets globally – especially where renewables are concerned. That’s partly because when it comes to energy issues, the candidates and their respective parties couldn’t be more opposed. While Donald Trump is pushing hard for fossil fuels, Clinton is advocating for clean power, on which her energy platform is almost entirely based.
Before we take a look at each candidate’s views and energy proposals, let’s examine the official platform of their respective parties.
Why You Need an Open API for Energy Data
It’s 2021, and by now smart meters are probably flooding your utility with zetabytes of data. Fantastic, right? But wait – that data deluge is totally worthless if you don’t do anything with it!
An open API for energy can help by maximising the value of the massive amounts of data collected by large energy services companies and utilities by exposing it to brilliant developers that want to experiment and create amazing and useful applications.
Chances are you’ve heard the acronym API being thrown around left right and centre, but let’s recap in case you don’t know what those letters actually mean…
