Small businesses in the UK could save money on their energy bills under new proposals outlined by Ofgem.
The energy watchdog observed that micro-businesses (firms employing ten employees or less or using under 200,000 kWh of gas/55,000 kWh of energy a year) often find the roll-over of long-term contracts difficult to manage and pay for.
It has proposed a number of measures to protect small businesses, including the ban of automatic roll-over of contracts and the provision of full details of contract terms and conditions each time small firms sign up.
Alistair Buchanan, chief executive of Ofgem, said: "We anticipate that the package of measures we want to introduce will improve business customers' ability to engage effectively in the market."
We provide energy supply, metering requirements and infrastructure for small to medium-sized enterprises, with a dedicated account manager to look after all your needs as part of a total energy package.
