How Is Energy Supplied When I Move To A New Building?
When you turn on the lights for the first time in your new premises, the previous tenant’s business energy supplier provides the electricity.
The previous tenant should have told their commercial electricity and gas supplier that they were moving. So, hopefully, they will know! But you should still contact them as soon as possible upon moving in and give them your meter readings. This will ensure you only pay for the electricity and gas you use.
The existing business energy contract stands until you change to a new business energy supplier. You will have access to gas and electricity, but as you are not in a contract, they will charge you very high ‘Out of Contract’ rates.
What Are Out-Of-Contract Energy Prices?
When you move into your new premises and you haven't got an energy contract sorted, you aren't stuck in the dark. The previous tenants' energy supplier will still provide you with electricity and gas, but because you're not in a contract you'll be charged extremely high prices, known as an 'out of contract' rate. Now is your opportunity to find the best deal on the market and get the cheapest energy prices available, you're not restricted to the previous tenants' supplier either.
