We are all feeling the squeeze right now. With so much uncertainty in the business world, it is crucial that we make every pound count. Not just the pounds; the pennies. Luckily, BP Consulting have come up with some energy saving tips for your business.
1. Understanding your energy bills
Business can be difficult. There are many issues that a business owner needs to keep up with. It is nearly impossible to know where savings can be made.
‘Nearly’ impossible.
BP Consulting have dedicated Account Managers on hand to help your business. There is no need for you to study complicated Jargon such as “fixed contracts” and “full-flex contracts”. You aren’t back in school, you’re in the business world. Our experts are on hand to explain all these terms and more. We advise you on which contract is the best fit for your business through an in-depth analysis of your usage. Realistically, you just want to see a true reflection of what you’re going to be paying over the year, so you can budget for the future.
2. Renewable Energy
Some utilities are a necessity: lighting, heating, electricity. Some businesses even require that these things are running throughout the night. If your business requires the lights to be on permanently, then there is a simple solution for you: energy efficient light bulbs.
BP Consulting are pioneering renewability through our understanding of business. We encourage many of our clients to consider LED lightning in order to save money. During a ten-hour day, a 60-watt bulb can cost a business upwards of £6. A 6-watt bulb being left on for the same amount of time can cost as little as £1. Putting that in percentage terms; an 83% saving would be quite nice.
3. Rate Relief
Did you know that the government provides relief for certain industries who operate under various organizational structures? If you didn’t, please know that you are not alone. Many businesses can’t spare the hours to research government schemes.

4. Getting the right capacity of electricity
You might have already heard the phrase “every business is different”. In electricity needs, this quote could not be any more true. Some businesses need a vast amount of electricity to perform their day-to-day operations. Other businesses need only a small amount of electricity. There is no “one size fits all” approach to electricity.
And yet, some businesses are paying for more than they use! This is mainly due to over estimations and agreeing to capacities which are too high.

5. Contract validation
Have you just moved address? Have you been in contract for more than 12 months? You might be on “deemed” or “variable” rates. Many businesses get locked into these rates unknowingly from suppliers, which could see their bills rise by 30-60%. That is crazy!
