Great British Energy Bill and Karsons Role

The Great British Energy Bill 2024-25 marks a pivotal moment in the UK’s clean energy transition. Introduced to Parliament on 25 July 2024, the Bill aims to establish Great British Energy as a publicly owned company focused on accelerating investments in renewable energy. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to a greener, more sustainable future, aligning perfectly with Karsons Consulting’s mission to drive energy efficiency and sustainability in the built environment.

As a firm deeply embedded in the facilities management and building services sector, Karsons Consulting recognises the immense potential of this Bill. It not only seeks to transform the national energy landscape but also challenges industries to rethink how energy efficiency can be integrated into their operations. The Bill is designed to secure a clean, affordable, and resilient energy system for the UK by accelerating the adoption of renewables and addressing the challenges of energy security (Great British Energy Bill - Overarching Factsheet). For property owners, landlords, and facilities managers, this represents an opportunity to future-proof assets by adopting cleaner, smarter energy solutions.

Karsons Consulting has long been a champion of sustainable practices, providing bespoke services such as Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), dynamic building simulations, and air conditioning inspections (TM44). Our recent projects, including achieving B-rated EPCs for commercial properties and implementing cost-effective maintenance strategies, showcase our ability to deliver tangible energy savings while improving operational performance. These outcomes underline the critical role of expertise in navigating the complexities of energy efficiency.

The Energy Bill’s focus on renewable energy investment highlights the growing importance of technologies like air-source heat pumps, LED lighting systems, and advanced energy management platforms. These innovations not only align with the government's Net Zero targets but also offer significant cost savings for property portfolios. By prioritising sustainability, businesses can reduce their environmental impact while ensuring compliance with regulations such as Building Regulations Part L and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).

At Karsons Consulting, we believe that aligning with these developments is not just a matter of compliance but a strategic decision to add long-term value. By working closely with stakeholders, we enable them to integrate renewable energy and sustainability measures seamlessly into their projects. Whether it’s through feasibility studies, tailored design solutions, or expert guidance on compliance, we empower clients to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

As the Great British Energy Bill moves forward, Karsons Consulting stands ready to support businesses in making the transition to sustainable practices.
