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 has been a major factor in that uncertainty.
For a business or organisation thinking about the next energy contract, this raises many questions, for example:
‘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’

- 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?
Wouldn’t it be great to get advice on these questions and many more from a company that:
So what’s happening with energy prices?
Since January 2022 the average price of electricity has risen from approximately £160 / Mwh (megawatt hour) to approx £340 Mwh
That’s a 220% increase, more than double! – and this in addition to 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 example, businesses who have been in contract for the past two years or more and are looking to renew their contract in the next 12 months, this would mean an increase of between 300-400% per year.
- It means Switch Energy and Telecoms can benefit your business by providing informed advice to make the correct choice for your next contract.
- This a critical time – if your energy contract is up for renewal in the next 12 months contact us as soon as possible.
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 ‘thisismoney.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, National Vice Chair of The Federation of Small Business 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.’
