Electricity
HVCCG has greatly reduced electricity usage since 2013/14. This has been achieved through
relocation to more modern and fuel efficient premises, consolidating the majority of staff on one site
and promoting energy efficiency to raise staff awareness. Gas and electricity consumption should
reduce next year due to the consolidation of staff onto only two sites, but there is likely to be little
more that we can do to make any significant reduction to our fuel carbon footprint as both of our
current premises are leased and therefore we are unable to instigate any change of fuel supplier or
transfer to renewable energy. 0% of our electricity use currently comes from renewable sources.
We will, of course, continue to promote efficient energy use amongst staff.
