Switch to greener energy

We help nurseries find green tariffs from trusted suppliers, so you can run on 100% renewable electricity.

Never fall into an expensive rollover again — we find you a better deal before your contract expires.

Contracts available

We help you pick the right contract for your setting — and steer you away from deemed and out-of-contract rates, which are the default variable tariffs suppliers apply and are usually far more expensive than a fixed deal.

Fixed rate

A set unit price for the length of the contract, so your budget stays predictable.

Variable rate

Unit rates move with the wholesale market — flexible, but harder to forecast.

Pass through

Wholesale energy is fixed while third-party charges are passed on as they change.

Time of use

Cheaper rates at quieter times, useful if your usage sits outside peak hours.

Blend and extend

Blend today's rates into your current contract and extend the term.

Flex approach

Buy energy in stages across the year rather than in one fixed purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Does the energy price cap apply to businesses?

No — the price cap only applies to domestic rates. It is still worth watching the quarterly domestic reviews as a guide to where prices are heading; if the cap is rising it can be a good moment to reassess your nursery's contract.

When can I switch business energy supplier?

Once your switching window opens and your contract is up for renewal, usually a few months before it ends. A new deal signed in that period starts when your current contract expires. If you have just moved premises or you are on out-of-contract rates, you can switch at any time.

What is my switching window?

It is the earliest point you can compare prices and secure a new deal — typically 90 days before your contract end date, though this varies. Your supplier must confirm the window in writing, along with their automatic renewal policy and deemed contract terms.

How long does switching take?

Microbusinesses are covered by Ofgem's Faster Switching rules, so the process completes within five days. For other businesses it can take up to 30 days, and the switch only happens once your existing contract ends.
