The cost of energy is a major overhead for any business, and it’s a procurement priority to make sure that you aren’t paying more than you need.  

Gas and Electricity:  Could You Pay Less?

It’s a fiercely competitive market, with gas and electricity prices changing frequently. Even if you manage to follow the best prices, contract duration and other small print issues make it hard to be sure which supplier best suits your needs.  And it's worth noting that a short-term focus on today's cheapest supplier can be a distraction that prevents you from looking at longer-term cost reduction measures.

Energy Cost Comparison Websites can seem to provide a solution - but it's not necessarily the best deal.  Read our cost comparison websites article to find out why.

Because of the complexity of what's on offer, many companies are able at best to react to changes rather than to plan ahead.  Talk to us, and we'll advise on what you can do to be sure you are always positioned to get the best deals.

 

Lower Gas and Electricity Bills

Our energy experts will analyse your gas and electricity bills to establish the charging mechanisms currently in place. 

We'll then produce recommendations that explain how you can develop a strategy for lower gas and electricity costs now and in the future. 

As energy management professionals, we use a combination of approaches to achieve significantly better prices for our clients.  Examples include:

  • Using our expertise to negotiate extremely beneficial consolidated billing arrangements for clients with multiple sites.
  • Implementing smarter metering so that you can manage your gas and electricity consumption more efficiently and be sure your bills are accurate.

 Access to Gas and Electricity Trading Information

Because we get daily reports from trading desks at the wholesale gas and electricity markets, our advice to clients is always based on the best, most up-to-date information. We have pricing data for immediate and forward-buying (up to three years ahead) options, so you get sound advice on when to buy and how long to sign up for.  It's invaluable information that gives you the opportunity to plan ahead for your business knowing that your energy prices are fixed.
  
With each of our proposals, you'll get a full explanation of the supplier's small print.  We'll make sure that you have all the information you need to make the right decision for your business.
  
And once you’ve made your choice, we’ll handle all the paperwork and ensure that the changeover goes smoothly.
  

Cheap Gas and Electricity Without Risk

We work with the big national suppliers, and with independent companies who buy capacity to re-sell.
 
 A cheap electricity or gas supply isn’t a risky one, because regulatory procedures ensure that in the event of a supplier’s business failing, other suppliers will step in. 
   
You can be confident that the lights won’t suddenly go out – and that the new supplier isn’t allowed to make any immediate changes to your terms and conditions.
  

Efficient and Compliant Buildings

We can provide a full Energy Management service, helping you to reduce your gas and electricity consumption and keep costs low. We’ll keep your supplier contracts under review, recommending changes as necessary to best meet the needs of your business.
  
New legal obligations provide a new energy-conscious focus for many businesses.The law now states that you must provide an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) when selling or renting commercial premises, and that public authorities are required to display a DEC (Display Energy Certificate) at all times in public buildings over 1,000 square feet. If you don’t comply, you can be fined up to 12.5% of the rateable value of the property.
