Tips When Considering an Energy Provider
Look at All the Costs Involved
Consider the costs, including the fixed daily charge and the cost per kilowatt hour. Most power company bills are made up of both elements.
This, of course, is where comparisons can get tricky. For example, you may have one power company that charges a lower fixed daily charge, whereas a different company could have a lower cost per kilowatt hour. This is just one of the many permutations that can exist. They all make it challenging to do comparison calculations.

Energy Prices Can Fluctuate
With the cost element of your consideration, you also need to think about fluctuations. Power companies purchase their electricity and gas on the wholesale market. However, wholesale market prices can vary considerably. The things that impact the wholesale cost of energy include:
- Consumer and business demand
- Political issues
- War
- Environmental issues
- Natural disasters
Power companies try to smooth out price fluctuations by purchasing gas and electricity in advance and by using a range of complex financial tools. However, there are still occasions where prices can change, usually in an upward direction, although the prices charged by power companies do also come down when wholesale costs reduce.
So, when you are signing up to a new provider (and when analysing your existing provider), one of two situations will apply. Either you will be in a variable plan where the amount you pay can go up or down, or you can get a fixed plan that locks the rate you pay. In the latter situation, it doesn’t matter what happens on the wholesale market, as you will pay the same rate.
Fixed-rate plans usually last for a couple of years, and they can save you money when power companies have to put their prices up. However, often the flip side also applies, i.e., you won’t get the benefit of a price cut if the power company lowers their prices as wholesale costs fall.
Offers and Promotions
Power companies run offers, discounts, and promotions all the time. Examples include giving you a credit if you switch to them or giving you a discount if you pay your bill within a certain period of time.
It is important to consider these discounts and promotions over the long term, ideally over the minimum term of the contract. This is the only way to understand if you will actually save money, or whether other costs that are part of the deal wipe out the discount over time.
