The Energy Bill Relief Scheme

We would like to take this opportunity to reassure our prospective and existing customers and clarify the following on the Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS):

  • The Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS) applies to fixed contracts agreed on or after 1st December 2021 as well as to deemed, variable and flexible tariffs and contracts. It will apply to energy usage from 1st October 2022 to 31st March 2023, running for an initial six-month period for all non domestic energy users..
  • All energy suppliers will apply the same discount. This discount will automatically appear on your statements. Customers do not need to apply for the scheme or contact us.
  • The BEIS department recommends all customers continue to enter into fixed price agreements as normal to shield businesses from future wholesale price increases. This way we can ensure all our customers are protected from the volatility in the current wholesale market.
  • For customers who qualify for the Energy Bill Relief Scheme we kindly ask all qualifying customers to provide us with monthly gas and / or electricity meter reads until end of the scheme. This should be done ideally on the first day of the month or no later than the 10th.This will be a great help to get your bills as accurate as possible and ensure we apply the right discount throughout the scheme period.

How to Switch Your Business Electricity Supplier and Save

by D-ENERGi
 

When it comes to a firm switching their business electricity supplier then it will pay to speak with the experts to find the best deal for your needs.

This will mean speaking with the friendly D-Energi team to understand how the market works and they can access the latest deals and offers quickly.

There are lots of suppliers in the business electricity market and they have a wide range of offers though they must tailor their offering to your own business’s needs.

But how do you know whether this is the best offer available?

Find the best business electricity rates

It’s fairly simple to carry out research to find the best business electricity rates and that’s to visit one of the comparison websites to see what the market rate for your firm could be.

There are a number of factors that need to be considered including your firm’s energy usage, for example, when you’re low and peak periods of use are and your location may also have an impact on price.

The website may also not be searching the entire market to find the best deals and you may be surprised at finding what appears to be a great deal but still needing to speak with a potential supplier directly.

That’s because they have to offer a bespoke deal for your business.

The market for supplying business electricity

As mentioned earlier, the market for supplying business electricity is now more competitive so prices have fallen as a result but still, many firms do not make the effort to switch.

This could be an expensive mistake since their current supplier may be rolling them onto a more expensive contract automatically when there are big savings to be made.

Also, some firms may believe that the switchover process is more complicated than it is and they prefer to stay with their supplier because of this.

The UK government says that around 40% of firms have never switched supplier so it’s likely they are paying over the odds for their business electricity needs and they are not helping stimulate competition within the marketplace which will automatically lead to lower prices.

It also needs to be appreciated that while many firms may choose to remain with the ‘big six’, those are the better-known energy suppliers, there are better deals available from firms you are unlikely to have heard of previously. This should not put you off from switching between business electricity suppliers.

 

However, the experts at D-Energi will be able to explain more and probably find a cheaper deal than you currently enjoy and they can also deal with the switchover process so it’s a seamless transition between your business electricity supplier.
