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.
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.
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.
Large businesses may have the resources and space available to invest in generating their own electricity by installing arrays of business solar panels on the flat roofs of commercial buildings.
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 electricity distribution network operator under a Smart Export Guarantee tariff.
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.
Large businesses can lower their business electricity bills by adjusting when they use energy.
Many large business energy tariffs offer lower rates during evenings and weekends, allowing companies to schedule non-essential processes or heavy equipment use during off-peak times to save on costs.
For more information, read our guide to multi-rate business energy tariffs.
Energy-intensive commercial properties pay capacity charges to guarantee the Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) of each business electricity connection.
Large businesses can reduce their charges by actively managing the capacity of each of their connections, as follows:

Regular business energy audits help large businesses identify inefficient operations and equipment that waste electricity and gas.
These audits offer actionable recommendations to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and improve business energy efficiency.
Some large organisations are required to have periodic energy audits under the Energy Savings Opportunities Scheme.
Long-term energy efficiency improvements can be made by implementing an Energy Management System.
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.
Commercial sites with a maximum demand exceeding 100kW must have half-hourly electricity meters and appoint a Meter Operator (MOP).
Advanced business gas meters automatically transmit meter readings for commercial gas connections that consume more than 293,000 kWh annually.
Locations with lower energy demand in a property portfolio use smart business energy meters configured for automatic half-hourly readings.
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.
