Many businesses in rural locations that don’t have access to the mains gas pipeline have been using heavy fuel oil out of necessity – often because it is too costly to connect to the nearest gas line. But with heavy fuel oil costs rising much faster than the cost of gas, the initial outlay of investing in a mains gas pipeline has never had greater potential to flow into improved bottom line business performance.
In addition to cost, switching to mains gas offers several other benefits:
If your business is based in a rural location that doesn’t have access to the mains gas pipeline and you are restricted to using heavy fuel oil.
Yes, the initial outlay of investing in a mains gas pipeline has never had greater potential to flow into improved bottom line business performance.
The on-going rise in heavy fuel oil costs means that switching to mains gas is still a more cost-effective and viable option in the long term.
In the past, many businesses have been put off switching to gas due to the initial costs of new utility connections. However, the continued dramatic rise in heavy fuel oil costs means that switching to mains gas is still a more cost-effective, viable option in the long term:
The Energy Desk works with a number of leading utility infrastructure companies to connect rural and urban businesses to the mains gas network. Our extensive experience means we can provide an accurate costing for the price of gas connection, savings achieved, payback period and CO2 reduction.
Below are two case study examples where The Energy Desk helped companies facilitate mains gas connections.
Case Study 1
A large food and drink organisation in a rural location used heavy fuel oil as the energy source to fire the boilers in their manufacturing plant. They had investigated switching to gas in the past but found the investment cost to be too high and the payback period to be too long. With the cost of heavy fuel oil increasing they reviewed the costs again and found they could save £2.4m per year and their investment costs would be repaid in just over one year.
Case Study 2
A university using heavy fuel oil as an energy source for five boiler plants converted to natural gas and saved around £45,000 per year in energy costs and paid back the investment in new pipelines and infrastructure in 2 years. The university also reduced its CO2 emissions by 25%.
