The SECCCA Energising Business webinar series is a regional initiative delivered by SECCCA in partnership with councils and specialist energy advisor 1Circle. The program is designed to help medium to large businesses better understand current energy markets, identify procurement opportunities to reduce energy costs, and plan for future energy needs.

The webinars focus on what businesses can do now — cutting through complexity to provide clear, evidence-based information that supports informed decision-making, while also contributing to longer-term emissions reduction goals.

The series is delivered as three online webinars, each running from 11:30am to 12.15pm. Sessions are practical and focused, combining expert advice with real-world examples. Businesses are welcome to join one, two, or all three sessions.
