reporting problems with EMMA
'With energy prices expected to rise in the future, and the increasing need to respond to climate
change, we anticipate that rigorous assessments of energy use will continue to be a valuable tool for
companies looking to keep costs down and reduce greenhouse emissions in the most cost effective
way'
