Many businesses don’t realise they can renew their energy contracts up to 12 months in advance - and that choosing to do so when market prices are favourable can lead to considerable savings.
At Professional Energy People (PEP), we help organisations take advantage of market opportunities, particularly during the warmer months, when energy prices typically drop due to lower demand and increased renewable energy generation.
Why Consider a Fixed-Term Energy Contract?
A fixed-term contract allows your business to lock in a specific price per unit of energy for a set period, providing financial stability and making budgeting easier. Key benefits include:
Certainty over energy costs, with no surprises
A single, straightforward agreement
Flexible contract lengths of one, two, or three years
Simplicity and consistency in managing energy expenses
For many businesses, fixed-term contracts offer peace of mind and ease of administration.
Flexible Contracts Available for High Energy Users
In addition to fixed-term options, we also offer flexible gas and electricity contracts. These allow larger users to make purchases in line with market trends, taking advantage of dips in pricing. This strategy can result in significant savings but also requires experienced market oversight, which is where our consultancy expertise proves valuable.
The Risk of Being Out of Contract
If your business is not on a commercial energy contract, you will likely be charged a variable rate by your supplier. These rates can be almost twice the cost of a contracted rate and are subject to market fluctuations, which can cause sudden price increases.
Why Use an Energy Consultant?
Working with an energy consultant should give you more than just competitive rates. At PEP, we:
Actively monitor the market to help you secure the best timing and terms
Present clear, tailored options with no hidden costs
Only work with vetted, reputable energy suppliers
Assign dedicated account managers to provide ongoing service and support
Review your energy usage to identify areas for cost reduction
Provide green energy solutions to support your sustainability objectives
Assist with utility installations, relocations, downgrades or disconnections
Can help recover money through grants and Climate Change Levy (CCL) tax rebates
Advise on energy efficiency to help lower consumption, costs, and emissions.
We take a proactive, transparent approach and aim to make energy procurement straightforward and beneficial for your business. View our testimonials for more detail here.
When Is the Best Time to Renew?
Kayleigh Thompson, Commercial Manager at PEP, explains:
“Many businesses have an energy contract renewal date of 1st October. We are often asked, ‘When is the best time to renew?’ The reality is, there’s no single answer - energy prices depend on factors such as weather, supply and demand, and global events.
However, we recommend requesting indicative prices during the summer months, when demand is typically lower and renewable energy supply increases. This can help businesses make informed decisions well ahead of their contract end dates. We’re already working with clients to secure renewals for October 2025.”
