Here we provide some useful tips for people who are considering a business energy switch. Current Supplier If you are on an existing contract or tariff, it would be worthwhile speaking to the provider first to conduct a review of your account and check if you are on the best rate or deal. This gives them the opportunity to offer a more favourable one before you switch to another supplier. Switching supplier could save up to 30% compared to your existing supplier renewal price. Meter Readings Taking frequent meter readings can help your business to analysis energy consumption and will provide vital information if it is thinking about switching to another supplier. When speaking to a new supplier, you should provide them with your business' unique registration numbers: the MPAN (meter point administration number, for electricity meters) and MPRN (meter point reference number, for gas meters), to help them provide the best quote. Contract Make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions of your existing contract and any new business energy contract you enter. Some contracts will only allow you to switch at certain times. It is very important you are aware of what you are signing up for or you could be tied into a contract for a long period of time. Suppliers Objecting to Switching Suppliers can only object to switching to another provider in certain circumstances, like if your business owes money to them or is bound by a fixed term contract where the term is still current. They must provide a reason for any objection, an opportunity for customers to raise a dispute case against this and offer resolutions. Your current supplier cannot object if the contract your business was on has now expired and the terms ended. Third Party Intermediary (TPI) TPI's can be used by businesses to carry out a comparison of their current contract or tariffs with other suppliers. It is important to be aware that if you are using TPI's that they present the whole market and how their services are paid for (one-off fee, commission, etc).
