Empowering Water Efficiency with the REDUCED Project

At Isle Utilities, we’re excited to share our role in the REDUCED (Raising Efforts to Drive User Consumption Efficaciously Down) project, an initiative focused on Water Efficiency with the REDUCED Project. Funded through the non-household Market Improvement Fund (MIF) and facilitated by MOSL, this project aims to enhance water efficiency efforts among Retailers and their customers across England.

Introducing the Water Efficiency Technology Portal

Our key contribution to REDUCED is the creation of a unique, free, and easily accessible online water efficiency technology portal. This portal serves as a single-entry point for Retailers in England to discover and leverage both emerging and established water-saving technologies. By providing access to independently vetted solutions, Retailers can confidently present innovative technologies to their business customers.
The portal also offers detailed information on trial opportunities provided by each technology company, facilitating seamless adoption and implementation.

Navigating Challenges and Realizing Benefits

Personalized Support and Trust-Building

To ensure our stakeholders feel comfortable and confident, we engage in personalized 1-2-1 sessions. During these sessions, we emphasize the significant benefits of our collaborative portal, such as:
