Our goal is to purchase 100% Green Energy for 100% of our clients.
Energy buying doesn’t have to be complicated. We get to know your business, spot the best market opportunities, and create a simple, tailored plan , handling everything to secure maximum savings. Fast, clear, and stress-free.
The group purchasing program gives individual clients improved purchasing power. This enables them to receive a better wholesale market price for their energy while also receiving a wider range of terms and services from the supplier.
Reverse energy auctioning is an effective way for suppliers to reduce their margins and offer more competitive rates. Watch prices drop as the energy suppliers bid for your business.
We all want to be greener, and with Green Energy Tariffs now as competitive as standard ones, there’s never been a better time to make the switch. Request for a green tariff to compare.

Business energy prices are split into two main components: Commodity Costs – the wholesale electricity price. Non-Commodity (TPC) Costs – all the charges listed above. Non-commodity costs can make up over 60% of a total electricity bill for many businesses. Suppliers may either: Pass these through transparently (itemised on the bill), or Include them within a fixed price (bundled into the unit rate).
How These Affect a Business Energy Bill
Business energy prices are split into two main components:
Commodity Costs

Overview – Third Party Costs (TPCs)
Third Party Costs (TPCs) are regulated, non-commodity elements of an electricity bill.
They cover the cost of delivering, balancing, and supporting the UK electricity system, as well as funding government energy and environmental schemes.
Suppliers collect these charges and pass them on to network operators, the National Grid, or the government.
Network & System Charges
DUoS Distribution Use of System Cost of using local distribution networks (owned by DNOs) to deliver power to end users. Covers network maintenance, operation, and upgrades. Distribution Network Operator.
TUoS / TNUoS
Transmission Network Use of System Charges for using the high-voltage national grid to move power from generation to distribution networks. National Grid ESO.
BSUoS
Balancing Services Use of System Reflects costs incurred by National Grid ESO to balance supply and demand in real time. Includes reserve generation, constraint management, and frequency control. National Grid ESO
Elexon Balancing and Settlement Administration Cost of operating the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), which ensures all energy traded matches what’s consumed.
Government / Environmental Levies
Charge Full Name Description Purpose / Beneficiaries
CfD Contracts for Difference Supports investment in low-carbon electricity generation (wind, solar, nuclear). Generators receive a stable “strike price” for energy produced. Low-carbon generators.
CM Capacity Market
Pays generators and demand-response providers to be available during peak demand, ensuring security of supply. Capacity providers.
RO Renewables Obligation
Encourages renewable electricity generation by requiring suppliers to source a set proportion from renewables. Renewable generators.
FIT Feed-in Tariff
Pays small-scale renewable generators (solar panels, wind turbines) for electricity they generate and export. Small-scale renewable producers.
EII Exemption Energy Intensive Industries
Exemption Certain high-usage industries (e.g., steel, chemicals) are exempt from a portion of renewable levies (CfD, RO, FIT) to remain competitive. Eligible large industries.
CCL Climate Change Levy
A government tax on energy supplied to businesses, designed to encourage energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. HM Revenue & Customs
A group purchasing program gives individual clients improved purchasing power. This enables them to receive a better wholesale market price for their energy while also receiving a wider range of services from the supplier. Being part of a group like this can also provide benefits such as negotiating 100% Green Energy contracts at a cost neutral rate compared to Brown Energy. As a result Corporate Social Responsibility is improved.
Pass-Through contracts have a fixed price for the wholesale energy. However, any third party charges from the government are passed straight through to the customer. Suppliers pass the charges on instead of building them into the unit rate. These contracts can be cheaper than a fully fixed contract but carry the risk of charges increasing and the overall price going up.
Fully-Fixed energy contracts offer customers absolute budget certainty. All government and third party charges are built into the unit rate which remains the same throughout the length of the contract. This offers a level of security and certainty to clients who like to budget in advance.
Some Energy Suppliers offer contracts that can have an element of flexibility. Once the contract has started and been live for the required initial period we can ask for a “Blend and Extend Price“ should the energy market see a significant decrease. Increasing the length of a contract by another 12 or 24 months in these circumstances means we can secure cheaper prices. This allows the client to benefit from a falling market.
We actively encourage our clients to become more environmentally friendly by going green. This can offer a positive effect for their businesses in many ways. This includes helping to fight climate change as well as showing business commitment to helping the environment.
Suppliers or customers offer us the “best price ” we can do this work on the clients behalf. We then use the “best price” as a bench mark and filter out the top 5 suppliers on price and terms . We then offer each supplier the opportunity to view an online auction and interaction with the quoting process. Suppliers bidding for the business rather than suppliers.
