However, according to Ofgem (The UK Energy regulator), many businesses haven’t been switching regularly enough, or even at all, and have missed out on massive cost savings.
Around 50% of a business customer’s invoice is made up of wholesale energy costs, we help companies to reduce these costs.
We do the hard work for you by comparing tariffs and negotiating with suppliers on your behalf.
We’ll then give you our recommendation on a switch, based on your business needs and requirements.
This trust means we can ensure you’re not paying more than you need to for your business water needs.
With the recent deregulation of the water market in England, businesses and organisations can now choose which company they want to supply their commercial water services.
The introduction of competition in the water industry in Scotland and England has created a wider supplier choice.
This change, plus more tailored services, has led to lower prices. If your business premises are in Wales, things are slightly different.
You’re only eligible to switch water retailers if you use more than 50 million litres of water a year.
Otherwise, you’ll continue to be served by your regional water company.
Wherever your business is based, get in touch with Energy Buzz for some free advice and to see how we can help.
Is your Business looking to reduce its Energy Costs?
An Energy Audit is a great place to start…
Using energy is unavoidable, but did you know there are many things you could do to make some real savings on your bills, whether you’re a large organisation or a SME?
A simple, straightforward energy audit can have a positive effect on your business and help stamp out those inefficient energy habits.
There’s sometimes a misconception that energy audits are time-consuming and pointless, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. An audit provides a clear overview of your company’s current energy usage, giving you insights into the areas that can be a financial drain on your business in a way that’s easy to understand.
With the feedback from your energy audit, you can formulate a plan that’ll let you correct your energy oversights.
Pinpointing the areas where energy is being wasted can save you money in the long term, while your audit results can suggest ways to reduce your energy consumption, cut costs and reduce your carbon footprint. An effective audit is as extensive as it gets, taking everything into account – inspecting the building’s interior, exterior, fixtures, and equipment to determine how these systems interact with one another.
A successful audit can be great for both company morale and the wider culture of the business. So, not only will it help your company reduce costs, but it can also set a new culture of behaviours among your workforce. If the business demonstrates a willingness to put fresh ideas in place, engaged employees may be keen to identify new energy saving schemes within the operation.

What is KVA Capacity?
Your Authorised Service Capacity (measured in kVA) is the level of ‘apparent power’ reserved from the network to guarantee the provision of a certain volume of power to your site. All sites with a half hourly meter have a kVA allowance – it is itemised on your bill as a capacity charge.
What is kVA charge on my electricity bill?
kVA is a common electrical term used to describe the amount of electrical power that a meter can feed to a building or site. It stands for Kilo Volt Amperes and one KVA equals 1,000 Watts of power.
Why is kVA important?
The kVA rating is important as you need to make sure you buy a generator with enough power to run the equipment you intend to use with it. An overload could damage the equipment that’s connected to it, as well as the generator itself.
Do you need to upgrade the capacity of your commercial connection to accommodate more electrical goods? Or not using your full capacity and looking to reduce it?
Have you completed a capacity review on your supply, to see if you’re paying too much?
We’ve recently saved a client £16,000, by reducing their capacity level.
Call us or send us a request for an agent to contact to discuss your options.

Change of tenancy is a term within the energy industry associated with the moving in or out of commercial premises.
There are certain obligations for the incumbent supplier and the new tenant. For example, the existing supplier is obliged to ensure that there is energy to the building and to make sure that this is always the case. In the case of the tenant, there is an obligation to arrange a new contract with the existing or alternative supplier.
It is also strongly advisable that if you are moving out or into a premise that you keep the existing supplier informed of your contractual position. This is often neglected and can cause unnecessary problems for an incoming tenant as they will assume liability of the unclosed account.
Moving commercial premises or starting a new business is very stressful and time consuming by itself, Therefore the Energy Buzz Team can assist you with your COT and take away any unwanted hassle:
Things you will need:
Proof of occupancy – E.g Lease Document, solicitors’ letter
