Welcome to Our Weekly Newsletter!

At Energy Costs Managed, we believe managing your energy costs should be about more than simply finding a tariff. Every business has different energy requirements, risk tolerances and contract objectives. That's why we provide tailored procurement and ongoing energy-management support designed to help businesses manage risk, control costs and make informed decisions.

How Energy Costs Managed Can Support Your Business in 2026

Energy prices have remained highly volatile throughout 2026, making proactive management of your business energy contracts increasingly important. With contract renewals approaching for many businesses, understanding current market conditions can help you make informed decisions about when and how to procure your next electricity and gas contracts.

So, why use Energy Costs Managed to manage your electricity and gas contracts?

With over 15 years of experience in the energy industry, Director Chris Horsley brings extensive industry knowledge to Energy Costs Managed. Having traded for five years, we have supported businesses across the UK with energy procurement and ongoing energy management. Our 5-star Google rating and 46 five-star trustpilot reviews reflect the level of service we aim to provide to every client.

Comparison of Over 20 Energy Suppliers

We compare over 20 suppliers, prices, contract terms and conditions, turning a complex and time-consuming procurement decision into a simple, informed decision for you.

Ongoing Wholesale Energy Price Monitoring

We remind you when your meter readings are due, helping to ensure your consumption is accurately recorded and reducing reliance on estimated readings.

Monthly Bill Validation

We independently review your energy invoices to help identify billing discrepancies and ensure you are being charged in accordance with your agreed contract terms.

This service is subject to monthly invoices and the required meter readings being provided to Energy Costs Managed.

Supplier Dispute Resolution

If your energy supplier gets something wrong, we take ownership of the issue, challenge it with the supplier and, where appropriate and applicable, support escalation through the relevant complaints and Energy Ombudsman process.

Your Outsourced Energy Management Team

Energy Costs Managed provides the ongoing support of an outsourced energy-management function without the cost of employing a dedicated energy specialist. From meter readings and bill validation to supplier disputes, market monitoring and contract renewals, we manage the day-to-day aspects of your energy requirements so you don't have to.

Wholesale energy prices have increased across all forward periods this week, with both gas and electricity currently trading above the levels reported in our previous update.
