Podcast highlights…
- For SMEs wanting to get involved with net zero, a good starting point is thinking about how they can adapt when they are using energy. If they’ve got the flexibility, can they look to match consumption to when renewable energy is being generated?
- Specifying volume at contracting stage has always been an issue and so having these conversations is key, as is knowing how your business will grow and the impact this has on demand.
- Sleeping customers who’ve never switched have woken up and are now more engaged with the energy market. The bill shock of the energy crisis has meant SMEs need to stay informed.
- SMEs have the opportunity to contract ahead of time – up to 24 months in advance and also not take on all volume at once, so there are options to be explored with us.
