20. Case Study: Peterborough City Council
Testimonials
“I am delighted with the results of this project. We set out to achieve a
return on investment in 6 months and achieved our target in less than 3
months. When added to the carbon emission savings and the better
delivery to our in-house customers, this has been one of our best
investment decisions.”
Nigel Green, Head of ICT
at Peterborough City Council
“With any ICT project there is a degree of risk, but this programme has
shown that with minimal initial investment we can both deliver cost
savings in a very short period of time, as well as showing the wider
community that our commitment to energy management and reducing
our carbon footprint is much more than rhetoric.”
Gillian Beesley, Chief Executive
at Peterborough City Council
