Why Review

Why Businesses Review Their Energy Contracts

Energy isn't a set-and-forset cost. Here's why thousands of UK businesses review their energy contracts every year.

Rising Costs

Energy prices fluctuate constantly. A contract that was competitive 12 months ago may now be costing you significantly more than alternative rates available on the market.

Renewal Periods

Brokers notify you of renewal windows that are easy to miss. If you don't act in time, you can be rolled onto expensive out-of-contract or deemed rates automatically.

Broker Changes

The energy market shifts regularly — brokers merge, rebrand, or change their tariff structures. Reviewing ensures you're always with the right broker for your needs.

Unsuitable Contracts

Many businesses are on contracts that don't match their actual usage profile. Reviewing can reveal better terms, more suitable structures, and meaningful savings.

How It Works

How Business Energy Works

Understanding the fundamentals of business energy helps you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Electricity

Business electricity is supplied on either a non-half-hourly (NHH) or half-hourly (HH) meter. Your meter type affects how you're billed and which tariffs are available to you.

Gas

Business gas contracts are priced per unit (kWh) plus a daily standing charge. Usage profiles and annual consumption determine which brokers will offer rates.

Standing Charges

A fixed daily fee that covers the cost of supplying energy to your premises — including meter maintenance, distribution, and infrastructure. It applies regardless of usage.

Usage

Your annual energy consumption (measured in kWh) is the biggest factor in pricing. Higher usage often unlocks better per-unit rates, but only if you're on the right contract.

Contract Terms

Contracts range from 1 to 5 years, with fixed, flexible, or blended structures. Understanding your terms ensures you're not caught out by rollovers or exit fees.

Why Use A Broker

Why Use A Business Energy Broker?

Going direct to a broker means you only see their rates. A broker gives you the full picture — and does the heavy lifting for you.

Market Knowledge

Energy markets are complex and constantly shifting. Brokers track broker pricing, tariff structures, and market trends daily — knowledge that takes years to build and saves you from overpaying.

Broker Access

We have direct relationships with every major UK energy broker. That means access to rates and tariffs not always available when approaching brokers directly — including exclusive broker-only deals.

Time Saving

Comparing brokers yourself means multiple calls, quotes, and contracts to review. We handle the entire process — from gathering quotes to managing the switch — saving you hours of admin.

Contract Reviews

We don't just find you a deal once. We review your contracts before renewal windows close, flag unsuitable terms, and ensure you're never rolled onto expensive out-of-contract rates.

Pub Energy Solutions

Pubs are energy-intensive businesses with long operating hours, refrigeration running around the clock, and kitchen equipment drawing significant power. Energy is typically one of a pub's top three overheads — yet many publicans are on contracts they haven't reviewed in years.

Key Challenges

  • Cellar cooling and beer refrigeration running 24/7
  • Kitchen equipment — ovens, fryers, dishwashers — during service hours
  • Heating and lighting across large, often older premises
  • Seasonal spikes during winter and major sporting events

Savings Potential

A typical pub can reduce energy costs by 15–30% by switching to a competitive tariff and addressing usage inefficiencies. Even a small per-kWh reduction adds up quickly given high baseload consumption.

Restaurant Energy Solutions

Restaurants face some of the highest energy intensity per square metre of any business. Commercial kitchens rely on energy-hungry equipment — combination ovens, grills, fryers, and extraction systems — all running for extended service periods.

Key Challenges

  • Commercial cooking equipment with high energy demand
  • Extraction and ventilation systems running throughout service
  • Walk-in refrigeration and freezer units operating continuously
  • Dishwashing equipment running in peaks and troughs

Savings Potential

Restaurants can typically cut energy costs by 20–35% through a combination of tariff optimisation, equipment scheduling, and targeted efficiency measures. Reviewing your contract alone can unlock immediate savings with zero operational change.

Hotel Energy Solutions

Hotels are complex energy environments — guest rooms, common areas, kitchens, laundry facilities, swimming pools, and HVAC systems all contribute to consumption that runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Energy is a major operational cost that many hotel operators underestimate.

Key Challenges

  • Round-the-clock heating, cooling, and hot water for guest comfort
  • On-site laundry and kitchen facilities with high energy demand
  • Lighting across corridors, lobbies, car parks, and exterior areas
  • Seasonal demand fluctuations affecting consumption patterns

Savings Potential

Hotels can achieve 15–25% energy cost reductions through contract reviews and operational adjustments. Larger properties with half-hourly metering can benefit from bespoke procurement strategies tailored to their consumption profile.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about business energy.

Business energy is the gas and electricity supplied to commercial premises rather than domestic homes. Business energy contracts differ from domestic ones — they're typically fixed-term agreements with different pricing structures, standing charges, and VAT rates (20% for business vs 5% for domestic).
