Multi-site businesses
One point of contact for every site you run
If your business trades from more than one address, energy procurement stops being a single task and becomes an ongoing administrative job. We take that job on.
The problem
Why multi-site energy gets messy
None of these problems is unusual. They are what happens naturally as a business grows beyond one premises.
Staggered end dates
Sites acquired or opened at different times end up with contracts expiring months apart, so someone is always mid-renewal.
Mixed suppliers
Different sites on different suppliers means different portals, different account managers, and no single view of spend.
Inconsistent meter records
MPANs and MPRNs get filed away and forgotten until a supplier query or a house move brings them back up.
No one person owns it
Energy often sits with whoever last dealt with it — facilities, finance, or a site manager — with no continuity when they move on.
Our approach
A four-part way of taking control of a portfolio
01
Audit
We collect every site's supply details — MPAN/MPRN, current supplier, rates, and end dates — into one register.
02
Align
Where it's commercially sensible, we plan a path to bring contract end dates closer together, so renewals happen in one exercise rather than twelve.
03
Compare
We review available market options against the combined portfolio, or site by site where usage differs significantly.
04
Manage
One named contact at ECR for the whole estate — new sites, closures, meter changes and renewal dates are tracked centrally.

What's included
What a portfolio review actually covers
Consolidated register
Every site, meter and end date in one document, kept current as your estate changes.
Renewal calendar
We flag each site's renewal window in good time, rather than waiting for a supplier letter.
Billing sense-check
We can review invoices for obvious errors, such as incorrect rates or estimated reads running too long.
Questions
Multi-site energy, answered
Can I switch business energy supplier?+
Yes, provided you are within your contract's switching window, or are out of contract or on deemed rates. Any outstanding balance normally needs to be settled and the supply must not be subject to an objection. We check the position before anything is agreed.
Can ECR help with multiple business premises?+
Yes. We regularly work with businesses that have several sites, including sites with different end dates and different suppliers. We can align renewal dates over time so the portfolio becomes easier to manage.
What affects business electricity prices?+
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.
