For smaller businesses, few things cost more than energy bills. But the good news is there are many ways of making substantial gas and electricity savings.
You should aim to get the per unit price of electricity or gas used as low as possible from your business electricity suppliers.
Keep an eye on your contract to ensure you can end it each year. With some rollover contracts, prices can be put up without your being told.
Another idea is to have a green 100% renewable tariff which grants you exemption if the government introduces any climate change levy. You may be able to secure good prices for renewable fuel contracts.
Chat to your business associates and finding out who are their gas or business electricity suppliers, and how much they pay. You could even approach electricity companies as a group of businesses and see if you can negotiate further discounts.
Once you have been offered what you think is the best price having compared quotes from different suppliers, go for a longer term contract if you think prices are likely to rise. And, even if you think you have been quoted the best deal, ask for extra discounts.
