The rising cost of energy
Every business is aware that energy prices are at an all-time high. In fact, they are three to four times greater than in 2021. Then, the average UK electricity unit price was around 12p/kWh; today, this is more like 30–40p/kWh, depending on supplier and energy deal. This price rise is significantly impacting companies in every industry.
How can Thorlux help?
With the cost of energy being so high, there has never been a smarter time to modernise your lighting. Lighting is an essential resource that, on average, accounts for one-fifth of all power consumption. Greater lighting efficiency can produce significant savings. Thorlux Lighting can help you save on energy through high-performance, energy-efficient luminaires and control systems.
