Two Cork-based companies are taking action to cut energy costs and avoid outage uncertainty

Mr Livingstone said the workers and management came to the idea almost simultaneously.

“We shut everything down on a Thursday night… the heating starts again on Sunday evening and we start the factory up again on Monday morning. So we are saving a full day and a half [on energy costs].”Employees had embraced the four-day working week and the company had not encountered any problems since the introduction of the scheme, Mr Livingstone said. They had also rearranged their timings in terms of deliveries and exports with their couriers.

“We look at risk, one of those is cost and profitability. But a bigger risk is security of supply. If we are testing something and we get a spike, it can kill the product,” she said.
