DAVID’S NIGHTCLUB SAVED £560 ON LAST YEARS £3,140 ELECTRICITY BILL
We were contacted by David shortly after their new electricity contract with SSE had started. It was a 2-year deal, so we arranged to get in touch later in the year, as they were now tied to these prices for 24 months. We duly got in touch as promised, and passed on the exclusive nightclub electricity prices we get from the same supplier, which were some 18% cheaper.
Does your electricity or gas contract end in the next 12 months? If it does, like we did for David, we can lock in prices one year before your new contract starts – get the prices now, before they increase through the year.
£25,000 ELECTRICITY BILL SLASHED
Large nightclub takes advantage of our prices
We were recommended to a large nightclub in Nottingham, who were perplexed by their nightclub electricity prices that cost £25,000 annually. They used over 250,000kWh per year and we were able to get the annual cost down to £22,560 by using our relationships with suppliers, a 10% saving.
Some suppliers won’t take on nightclubs, or are over zealous on credit requirements. Because we are independent and work with the whole market, we are able to find the best options available for our customers in this sector.
I was referred to Perfect Clarity and invited Kevan to have a look at all my energy tariffs. He went on to create savings across my estate. Perfect Clarity continue to facilitate this aspect of my business by providing me with a yearly overview of my energy requirements and informing me of the best tariffs for us. This allows me to concentrate on running my businesses.
CLUB SAVES £320 ON ELECTRICITY COSTS
Thanks to our exclusive prices
A smaller nightclub, also on a 3-rate meter, with different rates for Weekday, Night, and Evening & Weekend. Most of the 35,000kWh was split between the Evening & Weekend, and Night rates. Once we had confirmed the kWh used on each rate, we arranged a new contract with a different supplier, whose nightclub electricity prices were more suited to their use. A slightly higher Evening & Weekend rate meant we could get a much cheaper Night rate which made a big difference.
While prices have increased over the years, the latest contract we arranged for our customer was not much more than the £3,170 the customer paid NPower in 2011.
£1,950 SAVING FOR NIGHTCLUB
3-rate electricity meter was on the wrong tariff
A nightclub sent us their electricity bills. With annual use approaching 70,000kWh, they were paying over £7,300 per annum for business electricity. While they had a very low Night rate, the Evening & Weekend rate was too high and this accounted for nearly half their use.
We matched their usage up across the 3 rates with the best nightclub electricity prices for them, and coupled with our exclusive prices, got a better Night rate and much better Evening & Weekend rate (nearly 4p per kWh cheaper). The standard Day rate was also cheaper, and this all resulted in a saving of £1,950 over the next 12 months.
LOWER NIGHTCLUB ELECTRICITY PRICES
E.On wanted to increase costs by £1,000
A Newcastle nightclub was charged £4,810 by E.On for the last 12 months. Incredibly, they tried to push through renewal prices of more than 13p per kWh which would have increased the annual electricity costs to £5,850.
We went in the other direction, and reduced the prices by £410, not increased them.
Now Anthony could easily have called E.On and got the renewal prices down a bit, but our exclusive prices got the cheapest deal. This was in 2013, and Anthony has since renewed his business electricity contract with us again – still lower than the initial £4,810 E.On were charging in 2013.
