Knowledge library
- KnowledgeNotes on the energy market, regulation and contract practice.
- Network charges and agreed capacityWhy regulated network charges rose sharply in April 2026, and why the capacity you reserve is a lever most businesses have never pulled.
- Non-commodity chargesTaxes, levies and regulated network charges now make up a large share of a business electricity bill, and comparing unit rates alone misses where the cost sits.
- The April reset, and the grid investment behind itWhat resets on a business energy bill each April, why network charges are rising, and why this is regulated investment rather than a supplier price rise.
- Contract types, and how a fixed rate is builtThe four business contract types, how a supplier assembles a fixed price, and why the wholesale market is no longer the larger part of an electricity rate.
- Power factor and reactive chargesA poor power factor means a site draws more current than the work requires, and pays for it through reactive charges and inflated capacity.
- Transmission charges, TNUoSWhat TNUoS pays for, why it moves every April, and the one question worth asking a supplier before you sign.
- Deemed and out of contract ratesWhat deemed, out of contract and rollover rates are, why they cost more than a contracted supply, and the discipline that keeps a business off them.
- Securing ahead of renewalEnergy can be agreed well before a contract ends. What forward securing buys, what it costs, and how to decide without guessing where prices go.
- Meter types explainedHalf-hourly, non-half-hourly, AMR, smart and unmetered supplies, what each means for billing and data, and why the meter type decides what you can see.
- The net zero roadmapThe order to decarbonise a building or portfolio in, and why measuring and reducing before generating and offsetting costs less.
- Carbon reporting and the three scopesWhat Scope 1, 2 and 3 actually cover, how reporting goes beyond the legal minimum, and why customers now ask for it.
- Streamlined Energy and Carbon ReportingWhich companies and LLPs must disclose energy and emissions in their annual accounts, what has to be in the disclosure, and where SECR usually goes wrong.
- EPC B by 2031, and what the law actually requires todayEPC E is the enforceable standard now. EPC B by 2031 is a proposal awaiting secondary legislation, and the EPC C by 2027 step has been dropped.
- EPC B and co-working, where the letting obligation sitsAn operator who sub-lets desks and offices can be pulled into the landlord’s seat under MEES. The test is the building, not the desk.
- ESOS Phase 4Who qualifies for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme on 31 December 2026, what Phase 4 requires, and why the group rule catches organisations out.
- Reading your energy billWhat every line on a commercial gas and electricity bill means, so you can check it is right and see which parts you can influence.
- Solar PVWhy self-consumption decides solar economics, the three funding routes, and the sites where it does not stack up.
- Battery storageStorage shifts load rather than reducing it. Where the value sits, and why this is the technology we most often advise against.
- LED lightingWhy LED is usually the most straightforward project on a site, and why the specification matters more than the headline.
- Energy waste, and where it hidesThe cheapest energy is the energy never used. Where waste actually sits on a commercial site, and why overnight is the first place to look.
- Combined heat and powerHow CHP works, why the spark spread decides viability, and why an oversized unit is an expensive mistake.
- Heat pumpsHeat pumps move heat rather than generate it. Whether that cuts cost as well as emissions depends on the building and on gas prices against electricity.
- Voltage optimisationUK supply voltage sits above what much equipment needs. Whether reducing it saves anything depends entirely on what is connected.
- Heat network complianceHeat networks are now regulated by Ofgem. Registration by 26 January 2027 is a hard deadline, and operating without it after that date is a criminal offence.
- Regulation of energy brokers and consultantsCommission disclosure has been a licence obligation since October 2024. Ofgem regulation of third party intermediaries is an intention, not yet law.
- Market-wide half-hourly settlementEvery electricity meter is moving to half-hourly settlement. What changes, when, and why it makes consumption data available where it was not before.
- The British Industry Supercharger and industrial electricity costsA proposed cut to industrial electricity costs by removing policy charges, who would qualify, and why eligibility is tested at sector level.
- EV charging for businessCharging changes a site’s load and can push demand past the capacity you are billed on. Why the capacity question comes before the charger specification.
- Invoice validationWhat goes wrong on energy invoices, how validation works against the contract, and why we validate for payment rather than approve.
- TM44 air conditioning inspectionsAir conditioning systems above a threshold must be inspected on a fixed cycle, and the report must be lodged. A common and easily missed obligation.
- New connectionsGetting a supply to a site that does not have one. The order the stages run in, and why the timescale is set by the network rather than by you.
- New meter connectionsWhat happens once a supply point number exists. Contract, metering appointment, meter fit, in that order.
- How the energy market worksWhat moves wholesale prices, what the forward curve is, and what the decision to fix now or wait actually depends on.
- What really drives your electricity billWholesale power is a minority of a typical business electricity bill. Every layer that drives the total, and what can and cannot be done about each.
- The small lines on your billAAHEDC, Elexon and BSC costs, RCRC and metering agents: what each line is, who sets it, and why only one of the four is genuinely negotiable.
- Heat network regulation: who is actually caughtWhat changed in 2026, how registering now differs from the technical standards due in 2027, and a plain test for whether your site is a heat network.
