Southern electric business offers tariffs and prices
for both electricty and gas supplies for all businesses whether your own a small business a large
corporation on even what is termed a specialist micro business. It's a little harder to get
quotes for this company as you can't simply enter your details online and get instant rates.
This organisation is part of the larger Scottish and Southern group of companies that also own SWALEC for energy in Wales and well as Scottish Power. Unlike their consumer division where you can enter your postcode and get instant prices for their various tariff options as a business user you have to email them your meter number and postcode and they will get back to you in a couple of days with a quote.
Although this is much slower than the other main energy providers in the UK you should attempt to get a quote for tariffs because they may be able to offer you some good deals. If you are short of time then you may want to ask a professional broker who know what rates Southern Electric would offer your type of business and see what they can come up with in a tariff that's suitable for your circumstances.
Although there is no particular information on the rates and prices on their website you can be assured that they offer you similar set up as the other main energy providers for business customers. This means you will be offered a fixed term contract with fixed prices for the duration of any contract you may sign. This is standard across all business contracts and there is no variable pricing for most smaller type businesses.
You can switch supplier if you are able to terminate your current contract with your current supplier's tariff and trying to switch if you are still under contract and you can't terminate within a few months may not be the best use of your time.
The best way to see what rates and tariffs may be offered for your business is to give them a call because the form on their website to start the quoting process requires a lot of detailed information which in reality you don't need to provider. So give their account team a call on their customer services number for more information.
If you are thinking of switching your business electricity to Southern Electric then like the other main energy companies it couldn't be easier. Once you have contacted them for a quote. You'll need your company name and address together with your meter number which begins with a "S" for MPAN electric meters or a "M" for MPRN gas meters. They will also required your annual or monthly consumption data so that they can find the correct tariff for your circumstances. Once you have a quote then Southern Electric will switch your electricity and gas on your behalf. They will complete all the paperwork for you and there is nothing else for you to do. It's probably a good idea to take readings of your meters on the day of the switch to ensure your invoices from your current and future supplier are accurate.
The basis of signing up with any Scottish and Southern company is for your business to reduce the consumption of energy they use and they certainly provide a lot of advice through their website and their account management team for you to achieve savings goals. In addition they have invested nearly a £billion into renewable energy generation systems such as wind farms and solar energy so you can also choose a green tariff which will also exempt you from the climate change levy if all your electricity is provided from 100% renewable sources.
Additional savings can be had by paying your invoices by fixed monthly direct debit so it's worth investigating this when getting quotes on tariff rates with Southern Electric for your business energy supplies.
