BEST PRACTICES

When should I start looking for a new contract?

Businesses should start looking for a new energy contract well before their current one ends. The exact timeline can depend on the terms of the existing contract, but a good rule of thumb is to start looking 6-12 months before the contract’s end date. This gives ample time to research options, negotiate terms, and avoid being automatically rolled into a more expensive default tariff.

What should I consider for my renewal?

When considering an energy contract renewal, businesses should evaluate their current energy usage, future energy needs, budget constraints, and the reliability and service quality of their current supplier. They should also consider the terms of the contract, including duration, billing requirements and product type (fixed, flexible, green etc…). termination.

What can I do to get the best rates?

Businesses can get the best energy rates by researching different suppliers, comparing their offerings, and negotiating terms.

Our Energy Health Check is a great place to start.

How can I ensure I'm not rolled onto deemed rates?

To avoid being rolled onto deemed rates (which are often much higher), businesses should make sure they renegotiate their contract or switch suppliers before their current contract ends.

Should I always choose the lowest rates?

While price is an important factor, it’s not the only one to consider. The reliability of the supplier, quality of service, terms of the contract, and how well the supplier’s offerings align with the business’s energy needs and goals are also crucial.

How can I reduce my energy costs?

usinesses can reduce energy costs by implementing energy efficiency measures, such as using energy-efficient appliances, improving insulation, and managing usage during peak demand times. They can also negotiate better contract terms or switch to a cheaper supplier.

Our low carbon technology solutions, such as Solar PV is considered as an excellent opportunity and investment right now.

Should I consider green energy contracts?

Green energy contracts can be a good choice for businesses committed to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.  It is important to ensure the quality of the supply mix when looking at green contracts as there are many different ‘green’ products available in the market. These products can also offer some marketing benefits for businesses looking to boost corporate social responsibility.

What should I do if my energy needs change?

If a business’s energy needs change, they should contact their supplier to discuss adjusting their contract. If the supplier cannot accommodate the changes, the business may need to consider switching to a different supplier.

Working with UtilityWorks will allow you to benefit from the tier 1 relationships we hold directly with energy suppliers.

How does market volatility affect my energy contract?

Market volatility can cause energy prices to fluctuate. If a business has a variable-rate contract, this can result in their energy costs going up or down. With a fixed-rate contract, the price they pay remains the same for the duration of the contract, regardless of market conditions however, there has been cases in the past and recently of some suppliers opening contracts and increasing contracted costs due to market volatility and unforeseen events.

What should I do if I'm moving to a new location?

If a business is moving to a new location, they should notify their energy supplier as soon as possible and start the (COT) change of tenancy process.

Should i consider dual fuel contracts?

Dual fuel contracts, where a business gets both electricity and gas from the same supplier, can sometimes offer cost and convenience benefits, however not all suppliers offer this.

It’s still important to compare offerings from different suppliers to make sure you consider best options available.
