On average, customers receive renewal rates 30% higher than their current contracted prices or baseline industry trends. If your business energy deal is coming to end, follow our step by step guide to renew at the most competitive prices:
It is vital for businesses to terminate their current energy contract before it comes to end. If you fail to terminate your contract, your supplier will place you on a ‘rollover’ contract which can see your prices rise as much as 100%.
Business energy suppliers are only required to send renewal letters to microbusinesses, so it is vital that you check your contract end date.
For multi-site locations, obtain the Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) or Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) number for each electricity and gas meter. You’ll find these numbers printed on a recent invoice from your supplier rather than the serial number on the physical meter.

If your business is interested in making the switch to renewable energy, we can help you compare the best value green energy tariffs available. Most green energy tariffs are achieved through a mixture of renewable electricity and gas, and carbon offsetting carried out by your supplier.
Traditional green energy options come from the earth’s natural resources such as sunlight (solar), water (hydro), geothermal heat, and wind (turbines) to generate power. Carbon offsetting involves your supplier aiming to balance out any negative impact of the energy you use by paying to plant more trees or investing in environment projects.
When switching business energy suppliers, your gas and electricity supply will not be interrupted.
As with domestic energy, all suppliers share the same cables and infrastructure, meaning you will not see any change to your energy supply during the switch.
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a government tax which aims to reduce the amount of energy used by businesses in the UK.
You will pay the main rate of CCL if your business is in the following sectors:
Business that only use a small amount of energy and charities engaged in non-commercial activities do not pay the main rate of CCL.

Standing charges are a flat rate which is added to your gas and electricity bills by your supplier. These charges are to cover the costs of keeping your energy supply in place and are charged on a per day basis.
Even if you don’t use any gas or electricity on that day, you will still be required to pay the standing charge.
A number of business energy providers do offer no standing charge tariffs. When you switch to a no standing charge tariff, you will only pay for the gas and electricity you use. However, you are likely to be charged a higher rate for the gas and electricity you do use.
No standing charge tariffs can be a good option for seasonal businesses who are closed part of the year or for businesses who only open a few days a week.
If your business consumes a high amount of energy, you may struggle to save money in the long run on a no standing charge tariff.
