Where your p/kWh actually goes

Indicative split for a UK I&C electricity bill in 2026, sourced from Cornwall Insight's non-commodity cost research. Your meter, region and contract type shift the exact mix, but the four components are always present.

Wholesale energy, 38%Gas or power bought on the wholesale market. The figure most coverage focuses on.
Non-commodity costs, 53%Network charges (DUoS, TNUoS), policy levies (RO, FiT, CfD, Capacity Market), CCL and balancing costs.
Supplier margin, 6%What the supplier earns. Always priced into the unit rate.
Broker margin, 3%What we earn for tendering and managing the contract. Shown separately on every Purely Energy quote.

Who Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy may suit

Low fit for B2B procurement research based on the available public evidence: the sources reviewed point to a consumer-facing electricity supplier with no publicly located business tariff, business rates, or B2B terms pages in official sources.

Trading name and licence-holder notes

The licence holder/legal entity is Co-Operative Energy Limited, but Ofgem and company material show the trading brand as Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy. I did not find evidence of a separate parent brand in the public sources reviewed.

Switching from Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy to a fixed business contract

UK businesses can switch electricity supply away from Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.

1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy. Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
2. Get your MPAN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
3. Compare against the live market. Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy doesn't publish standard out-of-contract rates, so request a written renewal quote first and benchmark it against live market prices before agreeing anything. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. Co-operative Energy / Co-op Energy will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.
