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.

Searching for a Business Energy Solution Provider

by D-ENERGi
 

When it comes to searching for a business energy solution provider, it’s worth taking time to understand how the market works to see whether you are currently on the best deal possible – and whether a new supplier will be cheaper.

The business energy supply market is different to the market for supplying our homes as it is more competitive and prices fluctuate more frequently.

This makes comparing tariffs and deals between providers little bit more difficult but all firms and organisations should carry out an analysis every year to ensure they are not paying more than they should do for their energy needs.

The business owner can undertake this exercise whenever their energy renewal contract comes through but it can be time-consuming and for busy people, it can be a distraction.

It helps that there are comparison sites available to help with this process but they may not search the entire market and you will still need to negotiate directly with a recommended supplier.

Switch energy providers for their business

For those who want to switch energy providers for their business, then a potential new supplier may offer other incentives including an energy consultancy and the installation of a smart meter.

The smart meter for a business will help highlight when your firm is using lots of energy and will show how much it’s costing which may help staff members appreciate that the wasting of energy is not only expensive for the business but it’s also not helping our environment.

For those firms who sign up to an energy consultancy, this will see an expert analysing how and when your firm uses energy and recommend ways of using less to help deliver real long-term savings on your energy bills. This is also a big help for boosting a firm’s green credentials.

Larger firms will have special meters installed that sends their energy usage every 30 minutes to the supplier and this data can also be used by the firm to help reduce their energy bills and inform a potential new supplier of their energy usage levels.

Firms wanting to look at an energy switch

There’s no doubt that many firms wanting to look at an energy switch could gain with energy efficiency advice and an assessment to help them lower their bills – and that’s in addition to accessing a cheaper tariff for their everyday needs.

Perhaps the most efficient way of doing this is to speak with the experts at D-Energi who can search the entire marketplace on your behalf to find the best deal and find an energy consultancy too.

In addition, the team will also take care of the switchover process, so there’s no loss of supply and ensure that all of the paperwork is completed correctly. They will also negotiate with the new supplier to ensure that the deal that you sign up for is the one that is delivered.
