Would it be possible to survey the members of our guests' organisations to get an idea of the energy profile of fishmongers, for example? I presume electricity must account for north of 10% of their costs, whereas in clothing outlets, energy consumption is mostly accounted for by lighting and heating. Can we get a handle on that? If there is to be a response to this, it will be much more in the territory of whether there are businesses that are acutely caught and whether we can do something for them.
