For most UK businesses, energy is one of the largest controllable overheads, yet it’s also one of the least reviewed. We regularly speak to businesses who haven’t looked at their energy contract in 2–3 years. In almost every case, they’re overpaying — often significantly.
The reality in 2026
Energy prices have stabilised compared to the volatility of recent years, but that doesn’t mean businesses are getting good value.
In fact, many are stuck in:
- •Out-of-contract rates, some of the highest in the market
- •Auto-renewed agreements with poor terms
- •Tariffs that no longer reflect current market conditions
If your contract hasn’t been actively reviewed in the last 12–24 months, there’s a strong chance you’re paying more than you need to.
What does “overpaying” actually look like?
From what we see across the market:
- •SMEs can often reduce costs by 10–25%
- •Larger or multi-site businesses can see even greater savings through consolidation and negotiation
- •Businesses on deemed or rollover rates can be overpaying by 30%+
Quick question — are you overpaying?
