For business
Your energy spend is negotiable. Most businesses never find out by how much.
Small and mid-sized businesses rarely have the volume to command attention on their own. Aggregated across our book, they do. That is the entire mechanism.
Sound familiar?
The questions we get asked most.
Is switching supplier even worth the trouble?
Sometimes it is not, and we will say so. On a mid-sized commercial account the spread between the default rate and a negotiated contract is usually the largest single lever available on the bill.
How would I know if my current rate is good?
Against your utility's published default rate, and against what the same load is being quoted today. We give you both numbers, and neither requires you to commit to anything.
I don't have time to chase a dozen suppliers.
That is the job. One bill from you, one conversation, and quotes arrive already normalised to the same term and conditions so the comparison is real.
When should I renew?
Rarely at the last minute. Forward pricing means a contract signed three to nine months early often beats one signed the week it expires. We watch the window for you.
What happens if I have multiple sites?
They get analysed together. Aggregating load across locations usually improves the pricing tier, and it keeps every site on one renewal calendar instead of five.
Is there any interruption to service?
None. Your utility keeps delivering, keeps reading the meter, and keeps handling outages. One line on the invoice changes.
What we work with
One bill tells us almost everything.
A commercial invoice carries your rate class, your annual usage pattern, your demand peaks and your current supply rate. Those four things determine which suppliers will compete for the account and what tier they will price it at.
Twelve months of history is ideal. One recent bill is enough to start.
Contract structures
Not every business should buy the same way.
Fixed
One rate for the whole term. Budget certainty, no exposure to market moves. The right default for most businesses, and what we recommend unless there is a reason not to.
Index / pass-through
Priced off the wholesale market each month. Cheaper on average over long periods, but the bad months can be very bad. Suits operations with the balance sheet to absorb volatility.
Blended / layered
Part of the load fixed, part left floating, sometimes locked in tranches over time. Used by larger accounts to average into the market rather than betting on a single signing date.
Illustrative. It shows how the two rate types behave — the default rate resets on a schedule, a fixed rate does not — rather than any specific quote. Note the first six months: locking in is not always cheaper on day one. The case for it is the resets you avoid later.
Why timing matters
A default rate is not a resting place.
When a commercial contract lapses, the account does not simply stop — it rolls onto a month-to-month rate that tracks the market with no protection at all. That is where the worst bills of the year come from.
