What's included

Everything in the contract

A fixed energy contract gives your business a single unit rate for gas, electricity, or both, set at the day you sign and held for the entire term. It removes wholesale market exposure from your cost base, makes annual budgeting straightforward, and lets you commit to capex and headcount without an energy line item that swings 20 to 40 percent year on year.

Who it fits

Built for businesses like these

Hospitality group, 14 sites, £180k spend

Wanted finance committee sign-off on a single energy line for FY 26/27.

3-year fixed across all 14 supplies, locked at a £4/MWh discount to the live forward curve. Insights catches a faulty kitchen meter in month 2.

Manufacturing SME, single site, £42k spend

Out of contract, dragging a deemed rate at 38p/kWh after their last broker disappeared.

12-month fixed signed within 24 hours, unit rate down 41 percent, switched to monthly DD billing.

Multi-academy trust, 9 sites, £310k spend

Public-sector budget cycle requires a 36-month commitment with optional break clauses.

3-year fixed with year-2 and year-3 break clauses, REGO-backed electricity included to satisfy DfE sustainability ask.

Questions, answered

  • How long can I fix for?

    Anywhere from 12 to 60 months. The most common terms we sign are 24 and 36 months. Longer terms typically secure a better unit rate but lock you out of any market downside, so the right answer depends on your view of the wholesale curve. We will model both options for you before you commit.

  • How is the price quoted?

    Every Purely Energy quote breaks the unit price into its four components: wholesale energy, non-commodity costs, the supplier margin, and the Purely margin. You see all four before you sign. There is no all-in price hiding a broker uplift, and no commission paid by the supplier you do not know about.

  • What happens to non-commodity costs during a fixed term?

    On a fully-fixed contract, the supplier prices in their own forecast of non-commodity costs (network charges, RO, FiT, CfD, capacity market, BSUoS, etc.) and absorbs the variance. On a pass-through contract, those charges flow through at actual, which often lowers the headline rate but transfers the risk to you. We quote both and explain which fits your risk profile.

  • Can I exit a fixed contract early?

    Suppliers usually allow termination only via a buy-out, calculated as the wholesale loss they take on the volume you no longer need plus any unrecovered standing charge. For multi-site portfolios we sometimes negotiate explicit break clauses at year 1 or year 2. Tell us if you might need that flexibility before we go to market.

  • What if I add a new site mid-contract?

    Most suppliers will price-match the new site to your existing rate or close to it. We coordinate the connection date with the supplier so you do not end up on a deemed rate during the gap.

  • Do you stay involved after the contract is signed?

    Yes. Full contract support is included for every customer for the life of the agreement. That covers bill validation, query handling, supplier escalations, change-of-tenancy events, and renewal-timing recommendations. We are not a one-and-done broker.

  • Which suppliers do you work with?

    We hold contracts with more than 30 tier-1 UK suppliers covering gas, electricity, and water. Every supplier on the panel offers green electricity and biomethane gas options. We do not name individual panel members on public pages, but we will share the relevant supplier list during your quote conversation.

  • Is there a minimum consumption to qualify?

    No. We quote fixed contracts for single-site SMEs consuming a few thousand kWh a year right through to I&C portfolios consuming 50 GWh and beyond. The supplier panel and quote turnaround scale with your size.
