Why It’s Important to Act Quickly
Remaining on United Gas and Power’s out-of-contract rates can result in significantly higher energy costs for your business. With electricity rates as high as 29.8 p/kWh and gas unit rates at 6.90 p/kWh, these costs can quickly add up, especially for businesses with higher energy consumption.
By securing a fixed-term contract, you can avoid price increases and ensure stable pricing, which helps with long-term budget planning.
