Energy-saving technologies shunned over long pay-back periods

Corporate policies demanding return on investment periods of no longer than three years are counting against many new energy-efficient systems

Strict corporate policies governing the length of return on investment periods are hampering the adoption of energy-saving and renewable energy technologies, according to a new survey from consultancy EnergyTeam.

The survey of more than 110 UK bosses found that 81 per cent would demand a return on investment on new technologies, regardless of the potential long-term cost and carbon savings.
