How Energy Brokers can Support Your Business
As a business owner, you're probably more focused on the services your company provides than on researching all of the energy alternatives accessible to you. Without a broker, you may end up opening an account with a major provider that isn't the greatest match for you, while a smaller firm may give superior service. This is where Energy Brokers enter the picture.
Energy Brokers not only assist you in locating the greatest solution for your energy requirements but also assess your energy consumption to ensure you're on the best plan for your company. If your provider's service has a flaw, the broker will negotiate with them to save you money or move your service to a different supplier on your behalf. This frees up a lot of time for you to concentrate on your company's core.
Let's dig deep into how choosing the right energy broker may help succeed your business.
What is an Energy Broker?
Energy brokers act as go-betweens for energy providers and their customers. Brokers do not own or distribute energy and therefore cannot sell it to you directly. They merely display a wholesaler's or supplier's pricing. The connection between your insurance broker or a real estate agent is analogous.
Residential Energy Brokers vs. Commercial Energy Brokers
Commercial energy brokers help enterprises, while residential energy brokers serve individuals. While most energy brokerage organisations cater to corporations, some also provide household brokerage services.
Why is it important to select the right energy provider?
Should I work with energy brokers? It's healthy to bounce ideas around in your brain like that. What's even better are the real statistics. So, whether you're searching for residential or commercial energy, or you're wondering what the DMO or VDO means for you, we've compiled a list of four of the biggest reasons why you should select the right energy provider to support your business.
1. You Might Get Better Deals with Energy Brokers
You save money when energy providers are forced to compete for your business. When someone sells a product (whether it's a vehicle, insurance, jewellery, or energy), competition influences their offer price. There will be no competition; thus, the price will be greater.
Brokers ENGAGE IN COMPETITION. Because they know they are fighting for the business, many suppliers may lower brokers' prices. This reduces your pricing.
Another reason suppliers provide brokers with better pricing is that bigger brokers connect many consumers with suppliers. When a client goes directly to a supplier, the customer's single contract may only come up for renewal once or twice a year. Compare this to brokers allowing them to bid on hundreds of consumers every month... Who do you think has a greater chance of getting a better deal?
2. Simpler, More Transparent Bills
It might not be easy to make sense of your energy bills. The different non-commodity charges, taxes, and fees that comprise your bill fluctuate regularly. At CoolPlanet, our staff can help you cut through the jargon and understand what you're paying for. We also ensure that each bill is precise and meets your continuing demands.
3. Future Expansion
As your company expands, you may consider adding new sites to your portfolio, which will need the installation of new metres and the signing of new energy contracts. With this in mind, it is critical to work with an energy broker that can also offer infrastructural services.
Arranging a new metre installation or updating an existing supply, getting the contract end dates aligned may be difficult; nevertheless, an expert utility and energy consultant can guarantee that the job is finished on schedule and with little disturbance.
4. Increase Your Possibilities
With so many alternatives available, deciding where to purchase may be difficult. Our staff at CoolPlanet is constantly updated on the best prices. Do you wish to use only renewable energy? Do you want to generate your own power? We can advise you on all of your alternatives and assist you in developing a strategy that is appropriate for your company.
How can CoolPlanet help businesses?
As an energy broker, CoolPlanet helps businesses manage their energy contracts and pay less. We are an intermediary between an energy supplier and a business akin to an insurance broker.
We are in unprecedented times in the energy market. To say that the market is turbulent is an understatement. Energy has always been a significant business cost, but this has now taken on a whole new meaning.
We have found from client feedback that what we do as a trusted adviser and a decarbonisation partner has proven to be a valuable service in these turbulent times. In some cases, we have advised clients and new customers to remain out of contract as it is cheaper. For example, an out-of-contract rate could be €/£0.26 per unit of electricity, and an in-contract rate could be €/£0.36 per unit of electricity! What we mean is that we will liaise with you, the client, and when the market rates have fallen, as they will, we will then advise you to take on the new contract. Clients have appreciated this.
CoolPlanet helps lower your emissions.
As we progress toward a cleaner future, every company must have an ESG strategy to reduce emissions. Taking control of your power use is a wonderful place to start, and at CoolPlanet, we help you reduce consumption, optimise systems and lower emissions. This lowers your expenses while also keeping you as environmentally friendly as feasible. If your company consumes a lot of power, it's crucial to utilise it carefully.
