Business energy contracts can feel like they’re written in another language — and for many business owners, that’s exactly the problem. Hidden in the fine print are terms, meter codes, and charges that can make even the most experienced entrepreneur scratch their head.
As your trusted energy broker, I make it my job to turn that complexity into clarity. Here’s how:
Plain-English breakdown – I translate the jargon into clear, simple terms so you understand exactly what you’re signing. No guesswork, no hidden meanings.
- Meter types explained – Knowing the difference matters:
o 03 – Non-half-hourly business meter, single rate (Day Units)
o 04 – Non-half-hourly business meter, multi rate (Day / Night or Day / Night / Evening / Weekend Units)
o 00 – Half-hourly meter for larger energy users (Day / Night Units) - Charges demystified – I explain what each line on your bill means:
o Standing charge – A daily fee just for being connected, multiplied by 365 days in the year
o Day & night units – Energy used in peak vs. off-peak times, charged at different rates
o Climate Change Levy – An environmental tax for non-domestic energy users
o VAT at 20% – Applied to your total bill (unless you qualify for a reduced rate) - Bill calculation made simple – I’ll even show you the maths:
o Unit rate × number of units used
o Standing charge × 365 days
o Add Climate Change Levy & VAT
The result? You not only understand your contract, but you have the confidence to make smarter energy decisions.
If your energy contract currently reads like a foreign language, I can translate it into something that makes sense, and saves you money.
