Business gas and business electricity benefit from being almost perpetually available without effort on the part of the consumer when these services are supplied through the mains. This clearly affords a huge measure of convenience for the end user that we almost all take for granted. Correspondingly, the lack of conscious thought required to make a demand on these services can lead to the use of them occasionally being, at best, ill considered and at worst, even reckless.
Utilising a device that requires disposable batteries can often focus the mind on usage patterns and seeking more cost effective methods of operation. It is simply unrealistic to expect the average employee to be as conscious of the cost demands they place on their employers costs as they utilise commercial electricity and commercial gas going about their daily routine.
Managing the amount that your business pays for commercial gas and electricity requires a multi faceted approach. This involves managing consumption through encouraging positive behaviours within the workforce, maximising advantages of new initiatives such as carbon trading, adopting energy efficient practices and last but not least managing the cost of these utilities.
All of the above approaches have clear benefits but the easiest to quantify and communicate to a business audience is that of managing the cost price for your commercial gas and electricity. In the same way that the consumption of these utilities is a fairly subconscious process, the unchallenged acceptance of existing agreements with suppliers is also commonplace.
This passive consumption has unfortunately led to a lack of dynamism within the supply market of commercial gas and electricity. To secure competitive pricing needs a robust approach. At Saturn Energy, we understand the real differences in focus of the different suppliers and also where competitive advantages may lay. We also specialise in understanding market influences.
