Business Water

Since April 1st 2017 the business water market in England has become deregulated. As with your energy,  you are now free to choose a supplier of your choice, which means you could save up to 20% off your water bills.

BACKGROUND

The opening up of the water market in England is one of the biggest shake ups in the utility industry for years. Back in 2008, Scotland became the first country in the world to deregulate its water market, granting non-domestic property owners the choice to switch water supplies and their waste water services. Many businesses in Scotland since have changed supplier, and it is now estimated that companies in Scotland can  save between 15% and 20% just by switching. Water deregulation in the UK is about removing barriers to competition and opening up the water retail market for non-domestic customers. This means that organisations in both England and Scotland will be able to shop around and choose their water supplier – you will no longer be tied to your local supplier whether or not you choose switch. For organisations in Wales and Northern Ireland there are currently no plans to follow England and Scotland into full deregulation of the business water market.
