Energy procurement for large businesses
Choosing the right business energy contract is key to controlling costs and managing usage effectively. Below, we outline three popular energy supply contracts that large business procurement teams use to secure competitive deals.
Multi-site contracts
Businesses with a large portfolio of properties must manage the supply contracts of individual MPANs and MPRNs associated with each electricity and gas connection.
Business energy suppliers offer multi-site contracts to reduce the burden of contracting for each supply point separately.
Multi-site energy contracts are ideal for large businesses, such as hotels, which have many properties with similar energy requirements.
Flexible tariffs
Large businesses can enter simple fixed contracts used by small business energy customers to secure future energy prices, but they also have access to a wide range of flexible tariff options.
A popular example is a pass-through tariff that separates commodity costs from DUoS, BSUoS and TNUoS distribution charges, enabling businesses to fix different elements of electricity prices and execute bespoke energy procurement strategies.
Export tariffs
Large businesses often have the space and budget to generate their own electricity by installing business solar panels and commercial solar batteries.
Investing in green business energy generation helps mitigate price risk on future electricity costs while reducing carbon emissions.
Excess electricity generated by solar panels can be sold back to the local distribution network operator through a Smart Export Guarantee tariff.
Optimising large business energy consumption
Cutting energy costs doesn’t have to be complicated. We outline three proven strategies that large businesses use to manage consumption more effectively and reduce their energy spend.
Time-based energy optimisation
Large businesses can reduce their business electricity bills by managing their business energy consumption more strategically.
Large business energy tariffs typically offer lower rates during evenings and weekends, allowing companies to schedule non-essential processes or heavy equipment use during off-peak hours to cut costs.
For more details, read our guide to multi-rate business energy tariffs.
Managing import capacity
Large businesses pay maximum demand charges to guarantee the Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) for energy-intensive properties.
Businesses can minimise these charges by managing the capacity of each of their connections, as follows:
- Increase the Maximum Import Capacity for sites incurring excess capacity charges.
- Release the Maximum Import Capacity for sites where power requirements have decreased.
Energy efficiency audits
Regular business energy audits help large businesses identify operations and equipment that consume electricity and gas inefficiently.
These audits offer actionable recommendations to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and improve business energy efficiency.
Long-term energy efficiency improvements can also be achieved by implementing an Energy Management System.
Metering for large businesses
Optimising large business energy usage and procurement requires granular, site-by-site data on electricity and gas consumption using business energy monitoring software.
Large businesses typically use a combination of the three types of energy meters below to provide automatic meter readings every thirty minutes across all their properties.
Half-hourly meters
Commercial sites with a maximum demand exceeding 100kW must have half-hourly electricity meters and appoint a Meter Operator (MOP).
Advanced gas meters
Advanced business gas meters automatically transmit meter readings for commercial gas connections that consume more than 293,000 kWh annually.
Smart energy meters
Locations with lower energy demand in a property portfolio use smart business energy meters configured for automatic half-hourly readings.
Pricing insights for large businesses
Staying ahead of energy price changes can make a big difference to your bottom line. As contracts approach renewal, timing is everything, and making informed decisions can help you lock in better rates.
Our energy experts provide weekly updates on business electricity prices and commercial gas rates, giving you the insights needed to act with confidence. By staying informed, your procurement team can spot market trends early, helping you secure competitive fixed rates before prices rise.
Large business energy compliance
Large businesses must comply with government schemes designed to improve energy efficiency and cut industrial emissions.
Our energy experts have created detailed guides to help you understand and meet the requirements of the most important regulations.
Energy Savings Opportunities Scheme
Organisations in the UK employing over 250 people, or with annual revenue exceeding £44 million and balance sheets over £38 million, must conduct periodic energy audits to identify energy-saving opportunities.
Find out more in our guide to the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme.
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting
Large UK-based businesses must disclose their energy consumption and associated carbon emissions in their public annual reports.
Find out more about how to calculate these figures and comply with the scheme in our guide to Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting.
Climate Change Agreements
The Climate Change Agreements scheme is a voluntary arrangement in which industrial energy users agree with the Environment Agency to reduce their energy usage and associated carbon emissions.
In exchange, these businesses receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy applied to their electricity and business gas bills.
