British Gas launches energy management help for businesses British Gas has launched an energy management subscription service designed to help businesses identify better ways of using energy and pinpoint measures which should cut electricity and gas bills. The energy supply giant said the service, known as Energy Locum, could help organisations save 10% on their energy consumption. The supplier's business arm has highlighted research which indicated that nearly two-thirds of companies did not know who was responsible for energy efficiency or did not have a dedicated energy manager. The new service offers businesses a dedicated energy manager on a subscription basis: this could be a few days per quarter or several days per month, and provides all of the benefits of an energy manger without the costs and commitment associated with employing one full-time. Neale Phillips, head of energy services at British Gas Business, said: "The role of energy manager is a highly skilled one, yet many mid-size organisations do not have a dedicated energy manager. Often responsibility for energy and carbon reduction falls to a facilities manager, a procurement officer or someone in the finance department, who don't always have the requisite time or expertise to maximise the benefits of an energy strategy."
