Non-Commodity Analysis

Non-commodity charges (or third-party charges) are all the costs on your energy bill that don’t relate to the use of gas or electricity (the ‘commodity’). These charges make up around 50-60% of your bill and are rising year on year.

The world of non-commodity charges can be confusing, so let us handle it. We’ll make sure you’re being billed accurately through our in-depth Non-Commodity Analysis, potentially saving you thousands of pounds.

From April 2021, all meters will have third-party charges applied to them similar to bigger half-hourly meters, which could increase costs by up to 15%. Also from April 2022, electricity charging structure changes could hike electricity costs by up to 50%, especially for large sites. That’s why it’s more important than ever to make sure your non-commodity charges are in check.
