Energy suppliers have been set 2012 Carbon Emission Reduction Targets that must be met by offering grants and incentives for occupiers to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
Superglass said the fall in demand had reduced the plant efficiency of the business. It also said it had been unable to pass on rising energy costs to customers.
Superglass management said it was taking appropriate actions to manage controllable costs.
The company said it was likely that a substantial increase in energy suppliers鈥� activity would be required to achieve the energy suppliers鈥� targets by 2012.
