#netzero seen as a high or very high strategic priority for UK businesses. There are barriers though: 1. Lack of data, or lack of data resources, understanding what the #energydata means or how to act on it. 2. Costs; whilst the savings are clear and significant, with short paybacks, the upfront capital expenditure required is restrictive, particularly for SMEs. 3. Time; again particularly SMEs with tighter margins ("time is money") 4. Uncertainty over regulations and policies - the energy industry is particularly blighted by this, ever since 'all this green crap' was stupidly uttered, which of course is related to a lack of trust in policymakers making the right decisions in a timely fashion.
