YOUR RENEWAL CHECK

Start with the essentials.

Electricity and gas can need different decisions. We check each supply separately and only ask for more when it changes the answer.

Anonymous by default. No email needed, and no sales call just for using the assessment.

WHY THIS APPROACH MATTERS

“

Tom McGlynn sent us weekly pricing and shared sector insights for several months before we signed paper. How could we use anyone else.

FOUR DIFFERENT MOMENTS

Reviewing is not the same as committing.

Getting current prices can give you useful evidence without changing supplier or starting a new contract today.

Review

Understand current prices and options.

Agree

Accept a future contract only when the terms suit you.

Check

Confirm dates and any requirements that actually apply.

Start

The new agreement begins on the confirmed date, with the same supplier or a new one.

MONTHS OUT CAN STILL BE USEFUL

Don’t wait for the renewal letter to start paying attention.

The more time you give yourself, the more market conditions you get to observe before making a decision.

Some suppliers can quote well ahead of your contract end date, while others open their pricing closer to renewal. Being able to get a price early does not mean you should automatically agree it, but it gives you another point of evidence.

Many businesses only start looking when a supplier sends a renewal offer close to expiry. By then, the market may be very different from where it was several months earlier. A spring renewal, for example, may receive its first serious attention during the winter market.

Our approach is different: start watching early, use the factual market evidence relevant to your future supply period, and only move when the timing and available prices make sense for your business.

We do not know what wholesale prices will do next. We can show you what has happened, what is happening now, and what we would do with that information.

Have a half-hourly electricity supply?
Your supply contract doesn’t need to be approaching renewal to review capacity charges. We can check whether your agreed kVA is appropriate for your recorded demand and operational needs, and whether a change is worth investigating.

Already out of contract?

Don’t wait for a perfect market while paying the wrong price.

If your fixed agreement has ended and no replacement is in place, the practical next step is to obtain current contract prices. Wholesale direction affects what is available today; it does not remove your exposure to supplier out-of-contract or deemed pricing.

Debt or account issues can affect a transfer. We can also check options with your current supplier where they are on our panel.

YOUR RENEWAL OFFER

Is it actually worth accepting?

Compare the whole expected cost on the same usage, start date and term. Look at standing charges, pass-through costs, fees and contract conditions as well as unit rates.

ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS?

Choose a commitment, not a market guess.

A longer agreement can provide more budget certainty, but it also creates a longer commitment. Market direction alone cannot tell you the right term. Compare actual offers against your lease, plans and appetite for price changes.

A FEW THINGS CAN CHANGE THE ANSWER

Your renewal is not always one date and one decision.

The quick assessment keeps the first step simple. These are the details that can change what we would advise once they become relevant.

Gas and electricity

One supply may need attention while the other can wait. We assess them separately rather than hold up an urgent decision just to make dates match.

Already agreed?

A future agreement changes the answer. Market movements do not undo a contract you have already accepted.

Notice requirements

Not every business needs to serve termination notice. We check the terms that actually apply rather than invent a universal deadline.

How we reach the assessment See the methodology, evidence limits and how we avoid false certainty.

We use the contract position first, then the relevant evidence. Wider history is capped at 12 months. Shorter periods are compared like-for-like and conflicting signals remain visible rather than averaged into a false certainty.

Wholesale evidence is context, not a supplier quote. The tool does not predict the market bottom or choose a contract term for you.

Timing bands are Smart Energy operating rules, not legal deadlines. Any known contract requirement takes precedence. Stale or incomplete data produces calendar guidance rather than a guessed market view.

The assessment is anonymous. General Market Insights require a separate opt-in and do not monitor your individual renewal.
