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.

Our Tips to Save on Business Electricity Bills

by D-ENERGi
 

All firms and organisations will be wanting to save on business electricity bills and there are various ways of going about this.

Perhaps the easiest and simplest way is to contact the team at D-Energi and ask them to search the market on your behalf to find a deal for meeting your needs.

Alternatively, you could search the market to find several business electricity suppliers and speak with them to see what their deals are like for supplying your business.

You will need to understand that the provider will put together a bespoke deal and this will be influenced by:

  • How much you spend on business electricity every year
  • How many employees you have and the industry you work in
  • Whether you have plans for expansion or moving premises.

Compare business energy per kWh

In addition, it’s also important that you compare business energy per kWh to ensure you really are reducing your firm’s overheads.

This means that you will need to understand:

  • The unit price per kilowatt hour is what you pay for the energy consumed by your business
  • The standing charge is a fee paid to the National Grid for supplying energy.

With any potential new contract, you should ensure that both of these costs are lower than the ones you currently pay to reduce your bill.

You may be tempted to sign up to a deal offering a cheap unit price per kWh for electricity without realising that the standing charge may be higher, which will then eradicate any potential savings.

Compare business electricity per kWh

There’s also the potential to compare business electricity per kWh using a suitable website.

There are lots of these commercial electricity comparison sites available but you need to be aware that when you need to cut energy costs, these sites are unlikely to be searching for the whole market. Instead, they are probably asking a selected number of providers to offer a quote.

That’s not much use when you reduce your firm’s electricity bill because there may be cheaper and better offers available that you will be unaware of.

That is not the case when you ask that the D-Energi team to search the entire market because they will strive to find the best deal from all potential suppliers.
