Independent business energy consultancy
Independent business energy consultancy
Independent support with business gas and electricity contracts: comparing the market at the right moment, explaining fixed and flexible purchasing in plain terms, and handling renewals and switching for single and multi-site organisations.
Letting a contract roll over, or accepting the incumbent supplier’s renewal offer without testing it, removes any negotiating position you had.
Standing charges, capacity charges and non-commodity costs can turn an apparently cheaper quote into a more expensive contract.
Leaving it until the last fortnight before expiry means you buy on whatever the market is doing that week, not on your terms.
There is no universally better answer. The right choice depends on how much budget certainty you need, how much price movement your business can absorb, and how much time you can give to decisions during the contract.
You agree a unit rate for the length of the contract. Your budget is predictable and you do not need to watch the market, but you cannot benefit if prices fall after you sign.
Usually suits: businesses that need budget certainty and do not want to manage energy decisions month to month.
Your volume is bought in tranches across the contract rather than all at once. That can smooth out the effect of buying on a single bad day, but it needs active management and your costs are not fixed in advance.
Usually suits: larger or multi-site consumers who can tolerate some variability in return for more control over timing.
A quote is only meaningful once we understand the site behind it. We gather the following before going to market on your behalf.
Most suppliers require notice before your end date, and many contracts roll over automatically if that notice is missed. We record your renewal windows, tell you when the decision point is approaching, and start reviewing the market well before it arrives rather than in the final fortnight.
Portfolios tend to drift: sites acquired at different times end up on different suppliers, different rates and staggered end dates, which makes the whole estate harder to manage and weakens your position on every individual renewal.
We map the full estate, then bring contracts into a pattern you can actually manage, aligning end dates where it makes commercial sense to do so.
Well before the notice deadline. Knowing your end date lets us watch the market over a period rather than being forced to transact in a single week. If you are unsure of your dates, send us a recent bill and we will confirm them for you.
Yes, and they are usually worth reviewing together. Gas and electricity contracts often have different end dates, which is one of the more common reasons a business ends up managing energy continuously instead of periodically.
No. Your physical supply is unaffected by a change of supplier. The same infrastructure serves your site throughout; only the company billing you changes.
A recent bill for each supply is usually enough to begin. It tells us the supplier, the rates, the meter numbers and, in most cases, the contract end date. If you have a Letter of Authority in place we can obtain the remaining detail from the supplier directly. Start with a free energy review.
If you are not certain, that is reason enough to get in touch. Send a recent bill and we will confirm your dates and tell you whether the current rates stand up.
