Onzo

Onzo has just been elected as a corporate member of the Parliamentary Group for Energy Studies, the pre-eminent cross party energy group, which forms a bridge between MPs, Peers and members of the European parliament. and the energy sector. It currently has around 200 parliamentary members and its existing corporate members include Scottish and Southern Energy, Centrica, EDF, National Grid and British Energy. Membership is usually limited to major companies such as these and the invitation to Onzo to join is a recognition both of the importance of home energy management systems and our role in their design and of the part we are playing in contributing to public policy debates on energy issues. We are the only business active in our sphere to be a member.

The Group meets monthly in the Palace of Westminster. Recent speakers have included: the Chancellor of the Exchequer; Macolm Wicks, until recently Energy Minister; Charles Hendry, the Conservative energy spokesman; Alistair Buchanan, Chief Executive of the energy regulator, Ofgem; and Ian Marchant of SSE (who was talking about smart meters).

Membership of the PGES will give Onzo an excellent opportunity to network at the highest level and to continue to operate in the Premier League of the energy world.
