Why Use a Broker for Your Electricity?
Without doubt we are living in uncertain times especially for businesses; and over the last 12 months the increase in Energy prices have been a major factor in that uncertainty.
For a business or organisation thinking about the next energy contract, this raises many questions, for example:
- How does your business plan its future energy budget?
- How long should your business fix the price for?
- When is the current contract up for renewal?
- When would be the best time to commit to a new contract?
- Which energy companies should I get a quote from?
- Which one is offering the most suitable tariff for my business needs?
- What about my annual consumption and am I paying the correct amount in Direct Debits?
‘Whilst there will be much less choice on the market than previous years, businesses are still encouraged to use a broker to find the best deal’

So what’s happening with energy prices?
In six months the average price of electricity for winter 22 has risen from approx.£160 / MWh (megawatt hour) to approx £340 Mwh
That’s a 220% increase, more than double! – and this on top of at least a 50% increase in the last quarter of 2021!
What does this mean for businesses and organisations?
It means significant increases in the monthly and annual cost of energy.
For businesses who have been in contract for 2 years or more and need to renew their contract in the next 6 to months, it means up to 300% increase in annual cost.
It means you would benefit from the services of Switch Energy and Telecoms.
Surging energy prices keep me awake at night’: Entrepreneurs reveal how soaring costs could have ‘disastrous consequences’
By Grace Gausden for ‘This is Money’(January 2022)
As reported in an article by This Is Money.co.uk, ‘.soaring energy costs are leaving some small businesses ‘terrified’ about the future with the potential for bills to sky rocket by thousands of pounds this year as unlike households, businesses are not protected by a price cap. This means business owners are facing the brunt of spiralling costs that could cripple their businesses at a time when they were hoping to start their recovery’.
Martin McTague, the Federation of Small Business’ National Vice Chair, said: ‘The Government and Ofgem need to understand that micro businesses face many of the same challenges as consumers when it comes to negotiating energy deals but without the same protections. Big corporates can use their sizeable purchasing power and large headcounts to secure favourable terms. Small business owners don’t enjoy that luxury.’
Lucinda O’Reilly, director at The International Trade Consultancy, added: ‘The rate at which energy prices are rising is going to have a disastrous impact on British manufacturers who already pay much higher prices than competitors in Europe and the rest of the world.’
