“Very hands-on and involved from beginning to end, and even after our new energy supply began, they keep in contact to make sure the new supplier has not missed any details and that we are not being overcharged.”

Football club electricity prices. Get the lowest prices you can.
We help football clubs up and down the country to get the best electricity prices they possibly can. The wholesale price of electricity, as well as distribution costs, have been increasing since 2014. It is vital, therefore, to ensure your football club is not paying over the odds for electricity at the ground.
More than likely, there is a Half Hourly meter at your football stadium. We will analyse the data from your half hourly meter. And then match this with the supplier who has the lowest electricity prices when you need them the most.
As energy consultants we work with more than 20 energy companies. Most of our competitors work with half this number. As we place so many contracts every week with suppliers, they return tenders to us very promptly.
Always looking ahead for your football club
We also keep a check on electricity prices during the last year of your contract. Thanks to our excellent relationship with suppliers, we can be responsive to falls in wholesale prices.
We alert our customers, who can take advantage of these lower electricity prices if they wish. This helps your football club confirm low prices for the next electricity contract as well. And the next. You get the picture.
Confirming prices up to a year ahead of the start date isn’t for everyone of course, it is entirely your decision if you feel comfortable in doing so.
Confusion over Half Hourly charges resolved
We were approached by a club to clarify the Capacity charges on their electricity bill.
A common misconception with half hourly billing is that the Capacity charge is set in stone and can’t be changed. Not so. We analysed the half hourly data from the meter and established that the maximum demand over 12 months was significantly lower than it was set at.
This meant we could apply to the local regional network to reduce the agreed Capacity. Which lowered the annual cost by over £1,000 per year.
Half hourly meters and charges at your football stadium
Half Hourly meters can be a little confusing if you don’t deal with them on a daily basis. Why would you, you have a football club to run?
Availability (Capacity) charges, pass through contracts, fully fixed contracts, Meter Operator and Data Collections charges. You would think they are designed to confuse you.
Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous ‘brokers’ (and energy companies) who use this confusion and take advantage. We have seen contracts agreed for football ground electricity prices that earn a fat profit for both parties. These clearly aren’t in your best interests. You can read more here [link to a page about HH meter stitch ups with low unit rates due to pass through contracts].
If you are unsure, please call us and we will provide come clarity on the details.
Have you always trusted your energy supplier?
That may sound a little shocking, but it is a sad fact that energy companies are generally out to make money from their customers.
Your electricity supplier will increase your football club electricity prices for your next contract much more than the increase in wholesale prices. Because they expect they will get away with it.
This is where football clubs are grateful to have us on their side.
We work with suppliers across the energy markets all day. We know if the market is up or down in a particular week. And if any global events are likely to have an effect on UK electricity prices (for better or worse).
But importantly, we know what the ‘going rate’ should be for electricity at your football club. This is dependent on many factors, including your region, annual consumption, and much more.
In a nutshell, we hold suppliers to account to ensure your club doesn’t pay over the odds.
