Calling Isle of Wight SMEs: Join Our Free Energy Monitoring Trial and Cut Costs & Carbon
At CEE and Green IoW, we know that many small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) want to reduce their energy bills and lower their carbon footprint — but finding the time, tools, and expertise to do it isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re developing a new energy monitoring tool designed specifically to help SMEs better understand and manage their energy use.
We’re currently running a trial to test and refine the system — and we’re looking for more local SMEs to take part.
Why join the trial?
Participating SMEs will get real value from taking part:
🌿 Free Voucher — As a thank you for your time and input, you’ll receive a voucher.
📊 Detailed Insights — Find out when and where your key equipment is using the most energy.
💡 Actionable Advice — Receive a tailored report with expert recommendations on how to reduce energy costs and your carbon footprint.
🔧 Low Effort, High Impact — We handle the installation, monitoring, and reporting.
🤝 Influence the Future — Help shape a tool that will support other SMEs across the region and beyond.
What’s involved?
We’ve designed the trial to be as simple and unobtrusive as possible:
• A short 1-2 hour site visit to install small, non-invasive sensors and a mobile WiFi hub.
• Around one month of remote monitoring (we handle this entirely off-site).
• A personalised report with our findings and recommendations.
• A final visit to remove the sensors.
What we ask from you:
• Allow access for the two site visits.
• Share key information about your appliances during the initial visit.
• Keep the equipment connected during the monitoring period.
• Provide brief feedback on the trial and the report.
Join us at the IoW Business Expo
If you’d like to find out more, we’ll be at the Isle of Wight Business Expo on 9th July — please stop by for a chat! We’d love to explain how the trial works and answer any questions you may have.
