Tariff Analysis

Many businesses are on the wrong tariff and are paying unnecessarily high bills.

Since the energy market were deregulated in 1997, significant changes have taken place with the most notable being price increases. Electricity costs have increased by over 70% in the past few years while natural gas prices have increased by over 50% in the same period.

Other changes that have resulted include the introduction of energy taxes (Climate Change Levy) on electricity bills, the introduction of independent energy suppliers, numerous mergers and takeovers and so on.

There are different tariffs available to electricity customers depending on a number of factors such as:

1. Usage profile
   When you use your electricity – morning, night, weekend?
2. Demand Level 
   How much electricity you use though the year.
3. Level of Maximum Demand (MD)
   How much power you use at once – do you have any heavy machinery?
4. Level of supply required 
   Are you on a 240 / 415v supply? Single / Three Phase?
5. Night time usage 
   Could you use more power at night?

Many businesses are on the incorrect tariff when these issues are taken into account and are paying unnecessarily high bills. Energy X Change assesses all aspects of a businesses electricity account in order to determine which the most cost effective tariff is.
