Tackling the Energy Price Surge: A Lifeline for SMEs with Smart Energy Company

The Energy Challenge for SMEs

The landscape for SMEs in recent years has been tough, to say the least. The surge in energy prices in 2021/2022 has left many small and medium-sized businesses grappling with inflated costs, with the average SME now paying a staggering £64,383.10 annually for energy and fuel. This financial burden has forced a signific

ant 22% of SMEs to postpone crucial business investments, hampering growth and innovation.


An image showcasing a juxtaposition of hope and concern in the context of energy costs. In the foreground, a traditional energy meter, with dials spinning quickly, indicates high energy consumption. Behind it, a collage of rising pound sterling symbols emerges, some clear and others slightly blurred, symbolising escalating costs. On the right, amidst a backdrop of a stormy sky, stands a vigilant lighthouse, its beam cutting through the tumultuous atmosphere. At the base of the lighthouse, a worried business owner, calculator in hand, represents the pressure of managing rising expenses. This scene is set against a seascape with tumultuous waves, portraying the chaotic environment businesses navigate regarding energy expenses. At the bottom, the logo of Smart En. Co. subtly anchors the image, suggesting a guiding light in these challenging times.

Locked-In Rates: The Energy Price Surge

Many businesses that locked in their energy prices during the peak of the crisis are now finding themselves at a disadvantage. Rates have started to stabilise, but those tied to long-term, high-rate contracts signed in less favourable times are missing out on the potential savings offered by the current market.

It's not all doom and gloom, though. There is a silver lining for SMEs looking to navigate away from the high costs of the past. Smart Energy Company is at the forefront, offering:


  • Electricity Rates as low as 20p/kWh

  • Gas below 5p/kWh

Awareness Is Key

Despite the introduction of schemes like the Energy Bill Discount Scheme in April 2023, our findings show that a concerning 57% of SMEs are unaware of the financial support available to them. It's vital to stay informed about the help at hand to make educated decisions about your energy consumption and spending.
