There have been quite a few high-profile energy companies going bust in recent years. Therefore, you might be worried about what happens to your supply if that happens to you.

Fortunately, Ofgem have created a safety net which you can read here.

Your energy supply is secure. Ofgem’s safety net protects all customers’ energy supplies, and all customers will be transferred to a new supplier.

Ofgem will now appoint a new supplier for you, who will contact you soon.

In the meantime, sit tight, take a meter reading and wait until the supplier we appoint gets in touch.

In some cases, we can negotiate a better business energy deal with your current supplier. This means you can continue to receive your energy supply from the same provider without switching.

You should regularly compare business energy suppliers to make sure you're getting the best deal available. Our experts can help you find competitive rates, even if it means sticking with your current supplier.

Once we start the switching process, it usually takes around five working days, thanks to OFGEM's Faster Switching guarantee.

We'll inform both your new and old business energy supplier and get things moving as quickly as possible. The process can be delayed if you have not supplied all the information needed to your new supplier.

Your business energy supply will not be affected and you'll start receiving energy bills from your new energy supplier. You will also receive your final bill from your old energy supplier. It is important to make note of your meter readings during this process if you do not have a smart meter.

When calculating the cost of business energy bills suppliers take in to account a number of factors;

Standing Charge: This is a flat, fixed rate charge which applies to all energy bills whether they are domestic or business and it is a charge you will pay regardless of your level of energy consuption.

kWh Unit Rate x Consumption: This covers the actual amount of energy you use and is simply kWh usage multiplied by your kWh unit rate.

VAT: A VAT rate of 20% is applied to all business energy bills.

Levies and/or Discounts: Some business energy customers may also have additional charges/levvies and or discounts applied to their bills. One common levy on business energy bills is the Climate Change Levy and one common discount is the Energy Bill Discount Scheme (EBDS).

In short, no. Dual Fuel contracts are not common for business energy which means you will need a seperate contract for each fuel type with your business energy supplier.

Reduce Usage: The primary way to reduce the amount you pay for business energy is to reduce the amount of energy you use. This could be achieved by training staff to adopt for energy conscious practices such as switching monitors and lights off when not in use, especially overnight.

Run A Business Energy Audit: If you're stumped for ideas on how to reduce usage or become more efficient then undertaking a business energy audit is advisable. This process will highlight where your business uses the most energy as well as where is wastes to the most.

Compare Current Supplier Prices: As with any billable service, comparing current pricing to check you are getting the best possible deal is one of the best ways to save money on your current business energy bills.

Leverage Modern Technology: These options can range from the installation of a smart meter which will help you better track when, where and how much energy is used across your business and you could also invest in energy saving infrastructure such as sensor activiated light switches which ensure the lights are only on in a room when a person is present.
