Your energy contract is renewing.
Make it a decision, not a default.

Wholesale market conditions at the time you contract, your annual consumption, your meter profile, how predictable your usage pattern is, contract length, payment terms, your location's distribution charges and non-commodity costs such as network and levy charges. Two businesses on the same street can be offered different rates.

Most commercial supply is bought on a fixed-term basis so the supplier can hedge the energy in advance. In return the business gets a known unit rate for the term. Unlike domestic supply, commercial fixed contracts generally cannot be exited early without agreement, which is why the renewal window matters.

Most suppliers will price a renewal from around 6 to 12 months before your end date. Starting early gives you time to review options across different market conditions rather than accepting whatever is available in the final week.

A Meter Point Administration Number is the unique 13-digit reference for an electricity supply point in Great Britain. It appears on your electricity bill, often laid out in a grid, and identifies the meter rather than the supplier.

A Meter Point Reference Number — sometimes called an M number — is the unique identifier for a gas supply point. It is usually 6 to 10 digits and appears on your gas bill.

A deemed contract applies when a business is taking supply without an agreed contract — for example after moving into new premises or after a fixed term ends. Deemed rates are set by the supplier and are typically higher than contracted rates, so they are worth moving off promptly.
