SME Guide: Purchasing Electricity and Gas

Originally called “Electricity and Your Business”, this guide was written by Nick Grogan, Cover of SME Energy Guide Director of Energy Solutions. Its aim is to help small businesses find the cheapest electricity and gas contracts and save them money. We’ll let Nick tell you more.

“Every week, I talk to companies who want to reduce their energy costs and are looking for a quick and simple way to do so. Unfortunately, there are many companies, websites and guides out there that make it increasingly difficult for small businesses to get the right prices. There are suppliers who complicate the issue as well, offering different rates to existing customers and to those who call rather than use the website.

 I’d like to help your business with its electricity and gas contracts, and I hope, having read this guide, that at least you will be in a position to make sure you have some choice on who supplies your electricity and what you pay for it.”

Industrial and Commercial Energy Procurement

ICbookcover 1

Most gas and electricity contracts are still agreed through the traditional annual or biennial tender route, with the majority taking place in October and April. However, this option is not without its own significant risks. If you end up going to the market when prices are highest, your business could find itself paying 30-40% more than a competitor that arranges its tender at a different time. As the cost of energy frequently represents one of the most significant areas of expenditure, there is a very clear case for analysing all available purchasing options.

This guide has been designed to give you:

  • A brief overview of the gas and electricity markets
  • An analysis of how these markets work, and how they affect you
  • An explanation of the core information you must hold for each of your sites that consume electricity and/or mains gas

It also explains in detail the main procurement options available to you and how each of these options defines the likely price outcomes. The benefits and risks of each option are also clearly explained. Every business will have a different risk tolerance, so it’s important to consider the risks and draw up strategies to minimise them while at the same time ensuring that the potential benefits are maximized.
