Golf club electricity prices

Bringing clarity to your Golf Club electricity prices

Our role is threefold:
1. To source the most competitive gas and electricity prices for your golf club.
2. Provide advice on the length of time to fix these prices for.
3. Be available throughout your energy contract to resolve any questions that may arise.

1. Gas and electricity prices for your Golf Club

We can impart one overriding piece of advice from our years in the business energy market: Energy companies look after themselves the majority of the time.

Energy companies are unlikely to give you very competitive rates when you talk to them. Unfortunately, they are often looking after their profit margin. And not thinking of your Golf Club energy costs.

At Perfect Clarity, we have access to prices from over 20 energy companies. Importantly, we know what a competitive electricity rate looks like at any given time.

We hold suppliers to account.

2. Advice about your gas and electricity contracts

A common misconception is that electricity prices are always on the increase. While they have certainly been rising in recent years, they are likely to fall at some point. Ideally, your Golf Club will be in a position to take advantage of any falls in energy rates.

For this reason, we don’t advise fixing your Golf Club electricity prices for anything more than 3 years.

And if you are looking to confirm your electricity prices more than 6 months in advance, then 2 years might be the more prudent option.

We regularly hear from many businesses that they have been advised to fix prices for 4 or 5 years. This is advice from energy companies themselves, and by certain brokers. While there might be certain situations where this would be a good idea, we would generally have to question the validity of this advice.

As these contracts are legally binding, they have been unable to take advantage of considerably lower prices when the market changes direction.

3. Ongoing advice for your Golf Club energy prices

We don’t actually send you a bill for our services. Instead, a small fee is charged to suppliers when we place contracts with them. At all times we remain completely independent and impartial when sourcing prices from our energy suppliers.

Our business clients know they can call us about anything energy related. This could be a question about a bill or even their meter. At the end of the day, it is much easier to make a quick call to us or send us an email.

The alternative is to wait on the phone for a long time with the energy company. And what if you have to call them back? A different call centre of course.

Simply inform your energy adviser and we will endeavour to resolve this with your gas or electricity supplier for you. And report back when completed.

And for complete clarity on your gas and electricity, we will be back in touch towards the end of your energy contract. Whenever prices are looking favourable, so you can take advantage of any dips in market prices.

Half Hourly meter at a Golf Club

Half Hourly metering can cause a little confusion. Just call us and we can explain the ins and outs of these meters for you.

There are two types of Half Hourly meter. If you have a CT meter at your Golf Club, you will see an Authorised Capacity charge on your electricity bill. This is measured in kVA and this figure should be checked with the Network Operator in your region. The kVA could be set too high, in which case we can apply to reduce it and save you money.

However, if it is set too low, you can incur Excess Capacity charges. These will be described as such on your electricity bill.

Again, a quick call to our office and we can look into this for you.
