Customer Support

At Business Energy Advisors, we’ve invested in a cutting-edge, web-based client portal that gives you the flexibility to access your account from anywhere, at any time. With this convenient tool, you can track your account status, review energy market reports, contact customer support, and more, all at the click of a button.

Common Customer Support Services We Handle:

Market Intelligence

Given the numerous factors that influence electricity and gas prices, it’s crucial for us to stay informed, identify trends, and anticipate changes. This proactive approach ensures that the energy contract and solutions we recommend are not only the right choice today but also continue to meet your needs throughout the duration of the agreement.

The volatile nature of the energy sector makes procurement of gas and electricity a high-risk task. Various factors—from weather forecasts and oil prices to political instability abroad—can all impact the wholesale prices of energy, creating constant fluctuations.

Daily Reports & In-Depth Analysis

We are connected to daily market reports from all major UK energy suppliers, providing us with real-time data on market conditions. Our team analyzes this information in detail to keep our account managers fully informed about current and future market trends.

Our expert analysts review these reports every day, using the comprehensive data to equip our account managers with the knowledge needed to offer clients clear, relevant, and actionable insights. This enables you to make well-informed, strategic decisions about your energy contracts.

Our market reports not only include detailed analysis but also offer commentary on economic, political, and legislative changes that could impact the energy sector. At Business Energy Advisors, we identify key opportunities for our clients, ensuring that your business can take advantage of the best market conditions and secure the most favorable energy deals.

Multi-Site/Group Services

As your portfolio of energy contracts grows, so does the complexity of renewing or renegotiating each agreement as it comes to an end. Having worked extensively with multi-site and large group operations, we’ve established strong partnerships with UK energy suppliers to streamline this process and tailor it to the needs of your business.

Streamlining Contract Scheduling

We are proud to be one of the few energy brokers that offer services like the ‘staggered start date, common end date’ contract. This solution allows businesses with multiple sites to align both their electricity and gas contracts with a single end date in the future, often at a unified price across all locations. This approach can significantly benefit your business by simplifying budget planning, providing cost savings, and reducing the stress of handling multiple renewals throughout the year.While this may sound straightforward, managing such contracts effectively can become challenging as your business grows or changes. Assessing each site’s renewal individually can quickly become a full-time job. By consolidating your contracts, we help you simplify the process and manage it more efficiently and cost-effectively.

‘Future-Proofing’ Your Energy Portfolio

Aligning your contracts not only makes management easier today but also helps future-proof your portfolio. Once your contracts are aligned, they can remain that way for future renewals, regardless of the direction your business takes. Your Business Energy Advisors dedicated account manager will be there to assist with managing your site portfolio, ensuring sites and meters are added or removed from group contracts as needed.

Partnering for Long-Term Success

Let us be your trusted partner in managing your business’s energy contracts. Whether you operate two small offices or are part of a multinational corporation, your dedicated account manager will work to secure the best deals for each site and throughout the entire duration of each contract. We offer this valuable service to businesses of all sizes, making energy contract management easier and more effective for you.

Half-hourly meters

Half-hourly meters are commonly used in energy-intensive businesses, particularly in the industrial sector. According to government legislation, any premises with a maximum demand of 100kW or more in any half-hourly period are required to have a half-hourly meter installed. This regulation ensures that your metering can properly manage electricity surges, prioritizing health and safety.

You can verify if your business has a half-hourly electricity meter by checking the supply number on your electricity bill. If the first two digits (located in the top left corner) are 00, then you have a half-hourly meter, as shown in the example below:

Given the nature of half-hourly meters and the way they are read, there is a wide range of products and tariffs available. Our team of experts will assess your business’s electricity usage to recommend the best fixed-price tariffs or flexible energy procurement options tailored to your needs.

At Business Energy Advisors, we specialize in half-hourly electricity meters. Our experienced team can help you find the most suitable and cost-effective supplier and product for your business. The half-hourly procurement process differs from standard electricity meters, as it requires up-to-date half-hourly data.

Using this data, energy suppliers will tailor their offers to match your exact energy usage. Suppliers will then bid for your contract, and we will present you with the best available tariffs and products. Because half-hourly pricing is highly customized and subject to market fluctuations, it typically applies during the day. However, we’ll work closely with you to identify the most suitable timing and ensure you get the best deal for your specific requirements.

Large Companies

For large businesses or energy-intensive industries, your electricity and gas requirements are likely to differ significantly from those of smaller businesses. Energy costs can make up a substantial portion of your overall expenses, so it’s crucial to ensure you're securing the best possible deal for your company.

Each business has unique energy needs, which is why energy suppliers offer a wide variety of products and tariffs. At Business Energy Advisors, we provide a tailored service, designed to meet the specific requirements of every business we work with. Larger companies often have access to a broader range of products, as they are considered high energy consumers and have more options available to them.

ESOS

In July 2014, the UK government introduced the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), a mandatory energy assessment program for organizations in the UK that meet specific qualification criteria.

Organizations that meet the ESOS criteria are required to conduct ESOS assessments every four years. This involves auditing the energy consumption across their business operations, including energy use on premises, industrial processes, and transportation.

The deadline for completing the first assessment period was December 5, 2015. To qualify for ESOS, a UK business must be considered a "large undertaking," which is defined as any company that meets at least one of the following criteria:

• Employs 250 or more people, or

• Has an annual turnover exceeding 50 million euros and an annual balance sheet total greater than 43 million euros.

  If you believe that your business meets the ESOS qualification criteria, contact one of our ESOS energy experts today to see how we can help you meet all of your requirements.

Electricity Pricing

Business electricity can be a very complicated field without the right knowledge and expertise. We understand that your time is best spent running your business, so we recommend that we look after securing you the best deal for your electricity supply.

There are currently more than 100 commercial electricity tariffs, with meter profiles ranging from 03 and 04 SME meters, to 05, 06, 07 and 08 maximum demand meters, all the way up to half hourly read meters. With each meter priced differently and coming with its own area of expertise, we have dedicated staff with many years’ industry experience, able to specialise in each and every meter type.

Gas Pricing

Commercial gas can be a huge drain on any company’s cash flow. When running a business, cost cutting is always key, but sometimes saving time is just as important. Our supplier relationships allow us to source competitive price options from the whole market, resulting in the best possible prices for you, and saving the running round you would normally have to do.

Business gas prices consist of two elements, wholesale energy costs, and non-energy costs. However, business gas non-energy costs are not as complicated as with electricity prices and are made up of two elements, transportation and metering.

Transportation is the costs to deliver gas through the gas pipelines to the gas meter itself. The price of transportation varies depending on where your business is situated in the country.

Metering is a charge based on the size of the physical meter, which is determined by the ‘max hourly load’. This simply means the volume of gas that the meter can physically sustain and distribute to the relevant business. The higher the maximum load, the higher the metering charges.

Dual fuel Tariff

The term dual fuel simply refers to when you have the same supplier for electricity and gas. In general terms, dual fuel tariffs belong in the domestic electricity and gas market. Domestic suppliers will offer a specific discount on your bill should you choose them for both electricity and gas supplies.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a dual fuel business energy tariff. Some suppliers may seem to offer a beneficial deal for your business to be supplied by them for both electricity and gas. Business Energy Advisors primary concern is to help you to find the most beneficial energy deal for your business, whether this is through the same supplier or not. Our team of experts will present all of the options to you, allowing you to make an informed decision on the best suited tariff and supplier for each of your individual business needs.
