7 Feb In an effort to reduce overheads, firms and organisations may be looking to reduce their business energy bills and so they may want to compare business gas prices per kWh between potential new suppliers.
This is an effective way of finding out which potential supplier is offering the best deal but there are two charges to any quote and one is the cost per unit, which is expressed as kilowatt hours, and there’s also a standing charge.
Both of these will be quoted in pence so carrying out a comparison is an effective way to see which deal will best meet your needs.
Compare business electricity prices per kWh
The same exercise can be done for electricity so you will need to compare business electricity prices per kWh as well.
However, while this strategy will highlight what the potential supplier is offering, it is not always the best way to compare business energy costs between suppliers effectively.
That’s because you will need to understand how much the standing charge is and remember to add that into your calculations when looking at the unit charge.
The standing charge is for the supplier delivering energy to your premises and maintaining the National Grid.
The second charge, the per kilowatt hour tariff, is a set rate and will be tailored to the amount of energy that your business is using.
Looking at business electricity prices per kWh
As an example, when looking at business electricity prices per kWh, the lowest charge may not necessarily be the best deal for your business.
You may need to look at the supplier’s other offerings including whether they offer account management and energy advice so your business will use less gas and electricity.
The upshot for using a consultancy like this is that you will lower your energy use and pay even less on your business energy bills as a result. This is a big bonus for firms looking at long-term ways to reduce their bills and energy usage levels.
Indeed, there’s a lot to recommend that every firm and organisation looks at their utility bill costs every year and then look to see if there are any other better and cheaper offerings available.
The switchover process, should you find a cheaper utility supplier, is straightforward and there will be no loss of supply to your premises.
While it’s easy to compare business gas prices per kWh, as it is for electricity, there are other issues to consider including the customer service and consultancy offering and the D-Energi team can help explain why the extra services may well be the offering to choose.

2 Feb When it comes to undertaking a business energy comparison exercise to save money, then as the business owner you are probably also looking for tips to do this successfully.
There’s no doubt that it can be difficult to choose a new business energy supplier because there are so many potential suppliers out there.
These will include the ‘big six’, who dominate the business energy market but there are also smaller and independent firms who will offer better prices.
Some will also have incentives such as a business energy consultancy to help your firm reduce the amount of energy it uses to help you save even more money on your bills.
Undertaking a business electricity comparison
There’s no doubt that all firms could save money on their energy bills and when it comes to undertaking a business electricity comparison then you could contact potential suppliers directly or use a website for this purpose.
In the first instance, contacting suppliers directly can be a time consuming and confusing process while a comparison website may not search the entire market to find the best price for your needs.
There will also be other issues affecting the price of electricity including where your business is located, the type of meter you have installed, your credit wilderness and also how much electricity you are using.
Firms wanting to undertake a business gas comparison
Many of these issues also extend to firms wanting to undertake a business gas comparison exercise as well.
It is, however, worth spending the time to shop around because there are substantial savings to be made on a firm’s energy bill.
Having said that, most business owners will be tied-up with their day-to-day activities and may not have the time to focus on searching the business gas and electricity supply market.
Therefore, it makes sense to speak with experts who understand how these markets work and, more importantly, have access to the latest deals and offers.
This means speaking with the D-Energi team who will be able to deliver a bespoke quote that will probably save you a substantial amount in the space of a short telephone call.
Firms also need to appreciate that in addition to saving money on their energy bills, the switchover process to a new energy supplier is a seamless one and they will not lose their supply of energy when the transaction takes place.
If you are looking for more tips on how to save money with a business energy comparison exercise, then take the best advice which is to speak with the helpful D-Energi team first to see how much they can save you.

Some firms may simply be looking for a cheap business electricity quote and again the D-Energi team can supply this.
Any business owner who has looked at the business electricity and gas supply market may be confused about the wide range of offers and suppliers available.
However, by switching to a new business electricity provider may mean you save a substantial amount of money every year so will effectively lower your overheads.
Also, the government is keen to boost competition in the business energy supply market and want to see more firms switching suppliers.
Shop around for a cheap business gas quote
In addition to finding a new electricity supplier, businesses should also shop around for a cheap business gas quote as well.
While a supplier will not be able to offer a dual fuel deal, much like we can get for our homes, it is possible to have your business electricity and gas supply come from the same supplier.
Some suppliers may even offer an extra discount as a bonus to those who switch to them and take both types of fuel.
It also needs to be appreciated that if you have stuck with one of the ‘big six’ energy suppliers in recent years then you’re probably paying more than you need to for your energy needs.
That’s because these firms dominate the energy supply market but there is a wide range of suppliers available and new entrants are offering better prices and services.
Switch to a new business energy supplier
For example, you may be able to switch to a new business energy supplier who may offer other incentives including a consultancy to help you reduce the amount of energy you use every year so your bills will fall even further.
That’s not only sound business sense but will also help boost your ‘green credentials’ because you are using less energy for your business needs.
If you’re looking to get a business energy quote that will save you money, then speak with the experts at D-Energi.

Another way to search the market in the hunt for lower business gas rates for your business is to use an online comparison site.
There are several providers of these and there are pros and cons for using them.
One of the pros is that it will give a business owner a good indication of what the current market rate will be for them to switch to a new gas supplier.
One of the cons is that the website may not search the entire market so your business may not be getting the best possible deal for its needs.
Also, you may find a price that you like from the comparison site but will still need to speak with the supplier directly as they will need to furnish you with a bespoke quote.
Lower business gas prices for your firm
The main aim of the D-Energi team is to find lower business gas prices for your firm or organisation. Lowering your gas bill is an effective way of reducing overheads and boosting profitability.
It’s also important firms carry out a search of the marketplace every year because by not doing so may mean that your gas supplier may roll you automatically onto a new contract that is unlikely to be on the best prices they offer new customers.
These contracts are known as ‘deemed’ contracts and by switching suppliers there could be substantial savings to be made.
However, if you don’t search the marketplace or speak with the D-Energi team, then you will not know exactly how much you could save on your business gas bills every year.
With just one quick phone call, you will discover there are lots of business gas suppliers keen to attract your custom and some will offer additional services such as a consultancy to help your business reduce the amount of gas it uses so your bills will fall even further as a result.

26 Jan Getting a great deal on your business energy costs may mean your firm will need to switch between half hourly electricity suppliers to achieve this.
This is easier than it sounds and can be done seamlessly while lowering overheads at the same time.
But, there will be firms looking for a cheaper business electricity supply who may not appreciate what the term ‘half-hour electricity suppliers’ means.
Half hourly electricity meters installed
Essentially, large business users of electricity will have half hourly electricity meters installed on their premises so the data of your usage will be sent automatically to the supplier.
Obviously, this data is sent every 30 minutes and some electricity suppliers may refer to the meter as being an ‘HH meter’ – both terms mean the same thing.
There are some positive reasons for having a half hourly meter installed, though for many firms they are now mandatory, and best one reason is that your electricity usage will be monitored.
This is helpful for a potential new supplier because they can easily find out when your peak periods of use are and then tailor their offering to meet this need. The bills that follow will also be accurate and remove the need for estimated bills and for someone to read your business meter.
Supplier will offer half hourly electricity prices
By knowing how much energy you use, and when, means the supplier will offer half hourly electricity prices that will tend to be cheaper than your current supplier is offering.
It helps too that there is software available for businesses to work out when they are using electricity and they can use their HH meter data for this.
In addition, as well as getting cheaper prices for half hourly electricity means a firm can also access prices for several premises more easily if they need to.
This may mean that the supplier will offer an even cheaper rate to meet your business electricity needs.
Prompt a business to investigate where it is using its energy
The HH meter data may also prompt a business to investigate where it is using its energy – an energy consultancy service can also do this – so your usage levels will fall.
This will have an impact on your bills and you’ll be able to boost your green credentials too by not wasting energy during the day.
If you need to know more about how to switch between half hourly electricity suppliers, then it’s time to contact D-Energi who can find the best offers and also deal with the switchover process to ensure there’s no loss of supply between suppliers.

24 Jan 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.
