Commercial Energy Brokerage

If you can’t see how your broker is paid, you don’t really know your energy price.

How most energy brokerage works

Usually, businesses have never been told what their broker earns from their contract.

In many energy contracts, the broker decides how much they add to your unit rate. On electricity, that can be up to around 3p per kWh. On gas, up to around 1.5p per kWh. The commission is built into the rate you pay, and it often varies from client to client depending on what the broker thinks they can get away with.

Because it sits inside the unit rate, you can't easily see how much of your price is wholesale energy and how much is brokerage. If you can't see how your broker is paid, you don't really know your energy price.

That's the standard model across the market. We don't think it's good enough.

Our commission structure

We apply a transparent, flat, consistent uplift across every client:

  • 1p per kWh on electricity
  • 0.5p per kWh on gas

That's it. These figures don't change based on contract size, negotiation, or who you are. Every client pays the same structure, and you can see it before you agree to anything. There are no hidden margins added later.

We keep it fixed because it keeps things honest. A consistent uplift means our income isn't linked to inflating your rate. You know exactly what you're paying for brokerage, and you can calculate the impact from the outset.

How our brokerage service works

We review your existing contracts, and present your options and contract terms in plain language. Then recommend a direction.
Once the contract is signed, we stay involved. If something goes wrong with your supplier during the contract period, you're not dealing with it alone.
If you'd like us to review your upcoming renewals or current rates, we can outline the options and explain exactly how the pricing works.

Why this matters

The energy industry has trained businesses to accept that broker commissions are invisible. Most organisations don't question it because they don't know there's anything to question.

We think you should know exactly what you're paying and why.

Not because we're trying to make a point, but because it's how we'd want to be treated. That's the principle behind everything we do.
