Uswitch for Business comments on the Government

Uswitch for Business comments on the Government announcement that leisure centres with swimming pools will be given a £63m boost to manage rising energy and maintenance costs as part of the Spring Budget. Jack Arthur, energy expert at Uswitch for Business, comments:- “Public leisure centres with swimming pools typically have very high energy usage; but are not officially classified as energy-intensive businesses. Leisure centres don’t qualify for additional Government support available from April onwards, and as a result, face the threat of closing their doors for good. This would have a devastating impact on local communities. Today’s news will offer a new lifeline to many leisure facilities, with the announcement of a £63m fund to help make them more energy efficient; which should reduce bills in the long term. The Energy Bill Relief Scheme ends at the end of this month, so it’s crucial that sports and leisure businesses are not overpaying for their energy bills by being out of contract or falling onto deemed rates; which could cost:- 30% to 50% more than negotiated rates.“
