Energy prices seem set to continue their upward spiral. But by shopping around — with the help of the Publican’s Morning Advertiser PowerSaver — it is possible to ensure you get the best deal.
Paul Hodnett, Utilities Direct owner, said: “The important thing is we raise awareness of what is available to people. Prices are going up all the time but there are better deals.
“I would urge licensees to make themselves aware of what they are paying and look at alternatives.”
He said it is vital pubs keep an eye on when their renewal period is due.
“Business owners must be aware of the renewal procedure with power companies as they will often have a short window of termination around three months from the end of their contract.
“Failure to act on this could result in a price rise of up to 40% fixed for at least 12 months — so awareness is key.”
When the Power Saver scheme was originally launched last year by the Publican, a number of pubs were able to make substantial savings.
- The Bricklayers Arms in Grays, Essex, saved 33% on its electricity bill.
- The Beach Tavern in Pevensey Bay, East Sussex, was offered potential savings of 18% on electricity and 24% on gas.
- The Crown Inn, in Dial Post, West Sussex, found quotes that equated to 47% savings.
- The Swan in Whitacre Heath, Birmingham, found that, by changing supplier it could potentially save £3,500 a year on its electricity bill and £700 on gas in the first year alone.
