It has been suggested that businesses look around for the best energy prices around and lock down on the best deal before prices increase even more in 2013. Lock downs can be found for 1, 2 and even 3 year deals and whilst the savings may not be instantly apparent, over the full term of the deal businesses will find that they are better off than those who did not choose to lock the price of their energy. At times like this, where the economy is suffering, it is important to have a long-term money saving goal in mind.
Five of the Big Six energy companies have now upped their prices, the most recent of which being Scottish Power who increased their commercial energy prices by 6%. E.ON are the last in line and with promises to save their price increase until April 2013, so it is worth starting the hunt for the best deal sooner rather than later.
The official forecasts for the Treasury, published by the Office for Budget Responsibility predicts there to be a further hike in energy bills next year, as much as 5%, due to the suppliers upping the costs of wholesale prices for oil and gas. This could spell bad news for businesses who are struggling to keep their heads above water in times of recession as it is. They need to study long-term cost effectiveness in everything from gas and electricity to telecoms usage.
